stagefumer11 Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 sorry man, cannot help ya on the injectors and all, in new to all this myself. yeah the Diff is the same as mine didnt know they where r200's tho the no power is a strange one, probablyneeds a tune as a l20et makes its power at 5800rpm. but pussibly becasue its older itsdiffrent, turbo could also be a little on the worn side. mine is the past has had turbo problems, before i got it tho they have risen again, well i think they have, keeps howling off under boost sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I've been playing with it a bit more changed the AFM to another I had lying around from an L20 turbo and it doesn't seem to hesitate as much, got it up to 5800rpm but it was struggling. Stuck a boost gauge on it too, stock it runs 6psi and when you yank the wastegate line it goes up to about 16 quite quick on 16 pounds heh. It needs new sparkplug leads and a cap and rotor, I think they are all original and it has 298,000ks on it. I'll take some pics of it tomorrow, its a bit dark now.

stagefumer11 Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 intresting how your getting 6 psi, are you using a diffrent manafold?. with a stock l20et one it has a bleed valve set to 6 psi on it and it bleads early so they only get 4 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 First idea was to modify the pop off valve, instructions here on how to do that: http://home.flash.net/~joeao/greg/adjpopoff.html I cut up an old thermostat and jammed it in there, made a bit of difference but I didn't have the boost gauge on at the time so I have no idea how much boost it was running. Its now got the inlet manifold, injectors and throttle body from the L28 on it with a Skyline GTSt rising rate fuel pressure regulator. Its freeboosting (I'm not too worried about the L20, I've got 2 spare L28s) and in first its going up to around 17 - 19 pounds which the engine doesn't like very much, I'll have to get a bleed valve on there soon. Chirps into 3rd quite nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagefumer11 Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 FAR OUT MAN!! 19PSI on the stock turbo!!!!1 they can only take 16 MAX which is the point of major Turbo damage!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Finally got some pics of the beast, thought you might like to see them. My boost gauge isn't the most accurate on the planet ($15 from Repco) so my boost readings could be up to 3 pounds + or - I'd say. In the third pic I've highlighted the ignition module thingy, for some reason this car has on that is made in the US on it, and it has two plugs, all my Z ones only have one, whats your Skyline got? The 2nd pic is of the funny idle controller thing, its different to every other car I've seen, US spec or NZ spec. The last pic is of the car its all going into, my trusty Z. Its got different wheels on it now, some 15"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagefumer11 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 humm, my dizzy looks totaly diffrent, possibly because mine is a 85, and man that Z LOOKS SWEET and yeah with the blead vavle taken out they run 6psi , so if your reading that your swee:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hey jp280, where'd you get that front fasia? I saw a 280zx on a Yahoo Japan auction with a similar look, complete with side skirts and rear mold. It looks different that the ones here in the states; I don't think even the last years of the 280zx's looked like that... Maybe my eyes are decieving me.
