  1. In looking for a non-EGR intake for my turbo swap, I found a guy selling a 1975 Z for dirt cheap. Was the non-egr available on all 75-76 280's or just certain production months? Thanks
  2. Looking to buy ARP rod bolts, head studs and main bearing studs for an L28ET. Ive searched various sites to find the best prices,but am wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can buy them all as a bundle, perhaps? thanks
  3. actually, disregard my post,lol. I checked my email with my parts order and I actually just bought the bearings and not the rods. Thankfully they were in good shape,lol.
  4. Just wanted to update this thread. I picked my block up from the machine shop and Xnke was right, as far as it being pretty stout. They didn't find any problems at all with it. Everything measured up to spec. He checked and cleaned the rods and said they checked out fine. Here is the question I have now...I had bought new rods back in July, so would there be any benefit to using those, instead of the original ones?
  5. Just wanted to update this.. I'm at the point where the block is just about ready to take to the machine shop. Just from a visual inspection, the original pistons appear to be in good shape, so I'm just going to stick with them, instead of forged. I also ordered the following parts: Full gasket set (ITM) Piston Rings (FM Rings) Rod/Main Bearings (Federal Mogul) Rod bolts (ARP) Thanks again for all the input! jason
  6. Thanks a ton for the reply. That really helped me out alot. Even though I have a p90a head, I picked up a freshly rebuild 0 miles driven P90 and now I'm onto the block. I think I'm going to buy the new parts you suggested and take it into the shop, rather just have them go through it in its current state and tell me what needs to be replaced. Thanks again!
  7. thanks for the reply and for going easy on me. Like I said, I'm still learning. I'll stick with the stock l28et block. Thanks again.

    1977 280Z

    My 77 280z
  9. After days of searching here,google and other forums, I'm stumped. To give you a quick background, I have a 77 280z, as well as an 83 ZXT that I'm using as a donor car for my turbo swap. I've been using the Ultimate L28et guide as well as the Turbo FAQ as references for my build and my goal is 300-350 HP. The car will be a semi daily driver and I'd like to take it to the strip and play on the street, every so often. Coming from a v8 background, I'm trying to learn all I can about the turbo world, so at this point, I have no clue as to which turbo and what boost I'll be running. I will be running the stock turbo cam, upgraded ecu,440cc injectors,etc. Anyhow, I have the head(p90) ready to go and now its time for the block. In reading the ultimate guide, it recommends using forged pistons if you are going over 300hp. I've looked into several manufacturers (JE,Ross,Venolia) and the price can be pretty steep. Since this is my project car and not my DD, I'm taking my time, as I want the build to be done right, so its reliable(somewhat at least) when I'm complete. I don't mind spending the money on the forged pistons, but based on my HP goals, is this an absolute must or overkill? I hate to be that guy that posts a question thats been answered a million times, but I've searched until my eyes are bloodshot lol.
