As a owner of a 77 z and a 97 BMW 328IS i am really really really really looking forward to the supercheap well built completly turnkey kit you will surely be selling this week to swap the bmw motor in to my beloved z...
Absolutely. Please deposit $19.95 in my paypal account
more posts and pics please =0)If you insist
First fit into my 260...-

Best bet is use an injector that is the same percentage smaller in flow vs the l28 injector, then the chances of getting the l28 efi to to run smoothly in most or all conditions will be better or install an l28 under the l28 efi.
Or lower the fuel pressure.
- You can also insert a variable resistor inline with the coolant sensor to lean it out if needed.
Just to clarify, if a resistor is installed in series, the mixture will be richer. Installed in parallel, leaner. However, a parallel resistor will flatten the curve out across the temp range.
Uh, the 260Z block is not provisioned for EFI, i.e., the cressant-shaped notches in the block for the injectors to spray into cylinders are not there; it won't run `cause the injectors spray on the block above the ports and the fuel 'drips' down into the hole. You would have to file the holes to make the (cressant) notches for the injector spray if you're adamant about keeping your L26 in the car. I heard from an Aussie that did this...
It's not the block, rather the head. See post #1...
[assuming i have a head which can handle injection eg p79]

Although an M motor, a lot of the conversion would be the same or similar... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/79806-rt260-bmw-m-powered/

Finished up the mounts....
The trans. mount now offsets the drivetrain to the passenger side another 7/16", aligning directly with the diff. pinion flange.

Thanks Skib. Wife and I are still working out our plans for Sunday. Not sure if we'll be around or not. There's some Blue Bore in the Coke machine

If you install it in the same location as the ZX, the car will steer opposite. That is to say, the car will turn left, when you turn the wheel to the right. Seems like a poor choice, but I've been wrong before

"Emergency Switch". It's part of the interlock system.
-
I have minimal experience with MS, but I've done a few aftermarket EMS swaps and have never been able to get the tach. working directly on a 280zx. There are tach. adapters available that 'condition' the signal. MSD makes one and seems to work fine.
Did your temp gauge work before MS was installed? Unless you've altered the circuit, it's completely independent of the EFI. Also, the wire shouldn't be "hanging from the sender". There is a 'post' on the sender that the yellow wire plugs into.

I'm not getting excited until someone builds the structure from CF.

This forum has always been more about quality than quantity. Not an explanation, necessarily, but...

If I only drove my Z in fair weather... I'd never get to drive it.
Thanks for sharing, Olie

Heck yeah

Thanks John
If it would stop raining for more than 30 seconds, we could do a BBQ and dust off our bench racing skills

Took a full day to prune the engine compartment harness... no more shunt, EGR, voltage reg., interlock, emergency switch, A/C controls, or ignition module.
Also built the crossmember spacers (1/2"). I probably should have bought these from JTR ($25.00 shipped), but I had the material on hand and the milling machine made quick work of it.

1) The laws of physics haven't changed much in the last three years... this thread is just as relevant today as it was then.
2) Conductive, convective, and radiant heating are not the same thing.
-
There has been enough interest to build another small batch. 10 more ready for shipping.
Please note: I have raised the price, but now include shipping.

Let the gutting begin...
No turning back now

azcarbum was kind enough to import a set of Euro tails for me...
Thanks Brian!

Removed...
Front/rear bumpers and shocks.
Factory A/C (underhood components only).
Spare tire & jack.
Installed...
240 front bumper.
MSA Type 1 air dam.
15x6.5 alloy wheels with 205/50/15 Potenza RE-11's.
Dry weight w/full interior, L28E, and 5 speed... 2450lbs
Looks like my target of 2500lbs should be do-able.
Modeled up the Ron Davis radiator. I think I've settled on the mounts. I want to be able to bolt it up to the stock locations. So far this is the cleanest option I've come up with...
I'm still hammering out the fan shroud....

I have no plans of building another, for a while.

Any suggestions?
Yes... fix your temp. gauge before doing anything else. Guessing is overrated.
