AKWIKZ Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Is it safe to assume you have no muffler on it right now? Because it sounds exactly like what all the ones I built sounded like when they were run with open exhaust. I really enjoyed the "burble" at idle. I think I did about 10 of the L28 turbo swaps starting back in '94. It was the absolute easiest way to make power in an S30. I was barely 21 when I did my first and had pretty much no money. The junkyards in San Diego were full of ZX turbos though. $230 out the door for the complete motor with computer and harness. I would find a non running Z, swap the turbo motor in and then sell the car. It was a pretty good gig for a couple of years. I enjoyed doing the work and it put some extra money in my pocket. The funniest part is that I spent 2 days straight color coding the wiring schematic and when I found how easy it was to run the stock computer and harness I felt like I was Ben Franklin discovering electricity. Anyhow, hearing your car brought that all back. Thanks. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
