has anyone installed one of these and do I need to modify the dump pipe?? http://shopping.kinugawaturbo.com/kinugawaturbochargerbolton3antisurgenissanrb20detrb25det8cm10cm.aspx that's the link for that turbo. any help would be appreciated

I'd say yes (going from the pics). But read the thread Scott has posted as its very useful.

Until it's actually released and more pics on the site its hard to tell. I would say 95% chance it should work as a "bolt-on".

that don't really answer my question dude

Yes it does, dude.

If you roll back a few pages (between 260 and 270 IIRC?) you will find detailed discussion about those turbos. If you read the last 30 or 40 pages of that thread (OMG READ THAT MUCH?!?!?!?!) you will find all the known knowledge and theory this forum possess regarding that particular type of Kando turbo.

Otherwise I can spoon feed you: "heeeeeerrreee comes the aaeeeroopplaaannneee :) opennn wiiiiideee", YES it will bolt on without modification. If you have a split dump you would want to change to a bell mouth just in case the divider doesn't fit as good as stock. Bell mouth are always better regardless.

Please read and use the search function next time.

Flame on...

Now that I re-read it, it wont bolt-on 100% as you are selecting the 3" cover, stock intake wont stretch that much. You'll need to find the 2.4" option or do a custom 3" intake. Though if you're changing the turbo to a kando, no doubt your planning on upping the boost, running a z32 (which is 80mm diameter) so the stock intake will need to be changed anyway right?

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
