IMO swapping a I4 in the Z is gay. Pick between the L28ET or the LS1, for road racing/autox = L28 for street/drag = LS1

^ the VK heads are very good flowing heads. No need to port until 500hp+. The biggest restriction is the 22 in manifold. With a short runner and a medium sized cam you can easy see 400hp.

I talked with John (www.ReactionResearch.com), and if there is enough interest he will be making the 280 YZ quarters for the ZX. If you guys are interested, please post here. Thanks

if its out of a titan, then its probably blown. They are notorious for blowing up their diffs. Otherwise good deal

http://ecatalog.praxair.com/storelocator/usas.html i bought alot of stuff from them local, and they charge me like 25-30 bucks to fill up their biggest tank.

the V6 is the worst possible platform to turbo, because of their design and the amount of heat they produce.

look in my gallery for some pics of the VK56DE. link = http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=12980

I own a 1983 280ZX, very soon to have a VK56DE, im located in Chicago, IL, i want to improve my interior and brakes...

I was going to use a L28 but. Yeah im welding up the chassis on the S130 now. Im getting the VK out of a titan from a junkyard here in IL soon. Obvisouly using custom mounts....Im going to be using the VK transmission, modified ZX driveshaft and the R200 (3.54) Its going to be a automatic. But if that doesnt work, i will probably use a TH400 or a T56... I have access to a CNC laser cutter/ other CNC machinery, so making things custom is a breaze.

I am putting a VK56 in a S130.

use zero rust. I do and love it.

i think we need a sticky of all the scammers names....

Well, i decided to swap in a VK56, after reading about some L28's and the low power output. 350-400 isnt really worth it for me, so im dropping this bad boy in. Now my question. Whoever swapped in A VH/VK, what kind of suspension are you using ? this will be in a ZX. The motor mounts, i will fab myself, but will everything bolt up, suspension wise, or would i need titans/armadas front suspension ? thanks

Im a member of Altimas.net, back in the day, it was nice and quite, similar to hybridz, now its abunch of ricers, asking how to install a CAI and what are the best header"s" for these cars and about the SR swap. There are some OG's that are knowledgeble, but....Now, the SRT owners are total assholes. ( No offence Bastaad ) i have a friend that always talks **** about my Z, mind you this kid is 16, and he think he can outrun my Z. Telling me, its a old pos. These kids are making me hate imports more and more. Its sad. I really hate when people disrespect things that they dont understand. All the civic,accord, srt owners dont even work on their car. Buying a intake and exhuast doesnt make you a super tuner. Everything on my car is custom made, the exhuast i bent my self, the intake manifold, im welding up. Damn. Sorry for the rant.

set your camber very negative and get a lsd.

^ werd, my POS 280ZX smokes the front tires, so idk.

dont go to ebay if you want a quality and reliable setup. Search forums for turbos/wastegates/bovs...Dont forget you need misc fittings, oil feed/return lines, etc.
