zmaster Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 .I am still new to the z's i don't know if there is an existing thread like this one. I have a question about the exhaust manifold on a 75 280z n/a. I was wondering if i could use a turbo manifold from a zx and put it on the 280z n/a to make it turbo'd. If so do I need dished pistons for the extra pressure going into the engine, or can i use the flat tops. what would it do. Basically all i would like to know is can I make my stock n/a engine turbo'd without swaping it out without a zx motor, and do I need to get dished pistons, or can i keep the flat tops? If anyone can help me just reply or pm me Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmaster Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 what do you mean by a faster motor? when I use the flat tops will it give me a increase in the compression ratio? and what about a turbo camshaft is it needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
