82 turbo z

awesome yea i was going to get a wideband before i even put the ecu in. im going to have all these parts in a box just waiting till i get the money for a tune of somesort too if i cant figure it out just incase. And yea thats a good point on the meth injection compared to e85. i need to find out where some stations are that sell e85 to see if it will be realistic for me to do that here but if i could change from e85 back to 93 and vis versa then i would deff be able to do that. and i did not know that about the distributor ill deff have to look into that some more. Thanks for the info it deff helped

its the thing by the blow off valve on the intake manifold. its what stops the car from going over 8 pounds. everyone plugs it with a 1 inch pipe plug. ill post pics when i find my camera

So i'm wanting to get a mega squirt system for my build but im a little confused on what i need to be looking for. I have a 1982 280zxt 5 speed and its all stock besides a muffler, rims, and lip kit all around when i bought the car. all that i've done so far is install a boost gauge, boost controller which i need to get an electric one since the manual ones boost creep like crazy, and i plugged the emergency release valve. i also put slotted and drilled rotors all around with new pads not that that really matters for the ecu but heres a list of most of the things im planning on doing: im getting the front mount, turbo, downpipe, intake, and injectors in december. waiting to go on till i get money for megasquirt and tune. -Front Mount Intercooler -t3/t4 hybrid turbo -ported intake manifold runners with bigger throttle body ported to match -70 to 80lb injectors -walbro 255 fuel pump -custom billet fuel rail -inline fuel regulator with pressure gauge -Meth Injection -3" down pipe -3" full exhaust (catless) with muffler -Wideband system -port and polished head with 1mm oversized valves, stiffer springs, retainers, and mild to wild cam. -hi flow CAI etc... that should be enough to get some help. i was looking at this kit http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasquirtii-programmable-efi-system-pcb30-kit-black-case-p-119.html but i just dont know if that has everything i need or if i need to add on to that. im new to motor skills and im going to be taking a class. i have more skills in body, paint, and suspension so im learning so any help would be awesome! thanks!

i have a friend who has a side exhaust set up on his 83 280zx N/A. It actually sounds pretty cool and isnt very loud coming from the headers to right in front of the back driver wheel.

yea i was looking around for a fuse box cover and ended up just pulling fuses to see which was which to start out my search and found the N/A fuse box cover was a perfect match so i replaced all the fuses with the right ones and that fixed some of my problems. deff fixed my blinkers! still no dash lights or reverse lights :/

yea well i found out this car was not a turbo car. It was an N/A car that has a swapped turbo motor in it. P90a head legit turbo motor so not just a turbo kit. so that could explain even more unplugged and cut ****. but im wondering if the reverse back up switch is out and thats why the reverse lights dont turn on b/c i fixed most of my issues so far but still have no reverse lights and no gauge or dash lights. i picked up a dash with complete uncut harness and the middle gauges for 20 bucks just incase the guy who owned it before me chopped some wires back there for the alarm and thats why the dash lights dont turn on so ill have to figure out how to take the dash off and try that too. and i need to figure out how to wire the dome light back up to the doors b/c that doesnt turn on when the doors open which is annoying to me at night lol.

well i just got the deal of a life time....a used uncut full wire harness out of an 83 for FREE!!! so im pretty sure im going to hop on that and just replace all the wires with that so i know theres no cut wires so that should fix a lot of my problems.

wow thats awesome. im actually about to start rebuilding a 350 for a swap in my 82. Did that motor just fit right in with the new motor mounts? or did you have to cut away some of the engine bay?

Ok so today i went to go get some gas for the car and its happend before where it just makes the hissing sound like releasing pressure but this time when i started undoing the cap it starting hissing and then got louder and then shot gas all over me. wtf? is there a hose thats supposed to release pressure for the tank that might be clogged?

These were behind the radio. Is this for the stock radio or am i missing something? This yellow/black wire was cut so i crimped them back together. dont know what its for or what it did. solid yellow wire that someone cut and put a smaller yellow wire to connect to the other bigger yellow wire. Not sure if thats a problem but maybe the connection is bad where he put them together. A T plug that has no home and 2 cliped wires that i have no idea go to. maybe the light for the floor board? Comes out from under the center console and goes to the other side. I tried looking for a plug for this under the dash but so far no luck 3 blue/white wires together? not sure if its supposed to be 3 here since its on the harness inside on the passenger side leading to the back of the car fuse box with no cover. Really not sure which fuse is for what and im pretty sure theres not supposed to be any 30 or 7.5 amp fuses by what the haynes manual is saying.

Missing vacuum hose from EGR Valve and dont know where it goes missing vacuum hose from AAC valve and have no idea where it needs to go Unplugged by brake fluid container, didnt find another plug for it. missing a vacuum hose from the charcoal canister. have no idea where it needs to go Not sure if i plugged the right wire in or not but theres one male circle plug and 2 female circle plugs here by the engine compartment light T adapter for vacuum hoses vacuum hose from a/c vacuum tank Vacuum Hose from the ASCD servo valve and t adapter with hose missing but the vacuum hose from the a/c vacuum tank isnt plugged in either so idk what goes in that t adapter b/c a different vacuum hose from the a/c vacuum tank is already plugged into the T 2 wires by battery. Not sure where they lead to. Circle female plugs. Green and Green/Yellow

ok so i've been taking the car apart trying to figure out why the dash lights speedo, tach, and gauge lights dont come on as well as my blinkers stopped working and no reverse lights even after replacing them. There was an aftermarket deck installed and the guy was an idiot and left a lot of exposed wires but idk if that was the issue for everything. I've been coming across a lot of unpluged and cliped wires that i have no idea what they are for or where they go so i took pictures of most of the wires in there locations so hopefully some people will chime in and know where these things go so i can get these wired back up piece by piece. i also dont have a fuse box cover and the haynes manual tells me the fuses i need but i have no idea which fuse is for what and the guy put bigger fusses in which i'm sure isnt good so help on that would be awesome too. Thanks so much this is my first Z and i just picked it up this month so im totally new. End of the grey or white wire that goes into the firewall. have no idea what its for several female and male circle plugs by the coil. What goes where??? Grey or white wire going into the firewall, the other end is on the driver side of the car cut. what is this for? Circle male wire from a/c compressor close to the yellow female circle connector. Do those go together? yellow female circle plug close to the a/c compressor male circle plug. do those go together? This is under the dash driver side and have no idea what its for This was coming from computer area. any idea? lots of duct tape. This guy left a lot of exposed stuff and shitty connections. The radio also doesnt keep memory for some reason The guys attempt to wire in aftermarket radio. a lot of exposed wires and duct tape wtf Wires i found behind the radio. Stock speaker wires or radio wires? Not sure what else
