with 3g you will be struggling to get everything you need to upgrade the turbo (since you will also need aftermarket ecu, and most likely AFM and injectors) unless you get second hand stuff.

as for what power you get, that will depend on the turbo you get.

Do you have an exhaust, cause this is the first thing you will need, get JJR front/dump pipe 200$ and full 3 inch exhaust (250$ maybe for a s/h one is fine) before you do anything and a boost controller of some sort, turbotech one is fine for 30$.Get a full service and tune at 10-11psi for 200-300$ should net you 180-190kw

then

s/h programable ecu 1000$

hiflow turbo 1000$ (hypergear)

turnflow intercooler 400$

tune 600$

Money gone..you should make about 210-220kw if your engine is in good condition..if your clutch is stock it probably wont last long either..

add..

inectors 500$ s/h

z32 afm 250$

coilpacks 600$

better intercooler 700$

better turbo 1500$

should make 250-280kw, you will definately need a good clutch now so add over 1000$ if you dont have one already

Prices are approx and dont include any labour or extras such as sparkplugs, oils and filters, which you will need to replace all of..

well why didnt you say so, half the work is done already.

For 3k you want some form of boltup highflow, many places do these, hypergear, GCG, ATP to name a few, looking at about 1500 for this

You will also need a ECU about 1000 should get you something

And a Z32 afm about 250 for a new one.

EDIT just remembered you will need Injectors of some description, i got some secondhand cost about 550 with cleaning and all or you can get yours hiflowed. And a new fuel pump 300, so say good bye to roughly another 1000.

Now your 3k is gone, make sure you give it a full service all oils and filters then take it for a full dynotune costs about 500 to 1000 depending who you go to and you should be able to make 220 to 280kw. Depending on turbo choice. Do your homework

Do you want more power down low or up top?

NB..do not think you can just add a turbo and drive it doesnt work that way..

as you can see I just spent 5000 of your 3000 budget :D

so if 3k is all you can spend just get an ECU and a small hiflow, think hypergear does them around 1000 and they bolt straight in. A good fuel pump is still a must 300. Tune will be same price 500 plus. Your money is gone you should make 220ishkw. This is about all standard injectors and afm will handle.

Its still better than stock beleive me, Mine only has 235kw,(depending on the weather :/ ) its a bit slack in the top end compared to some others but its a rocket down low. theres a bunch of little tricks to make it all work too but for that you will just have to do some homework its all in these pages mate but you just gunna have to look

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
