That would be norm (that 12 second S.U. guy). It is a shame he is gone from the forum, but he had a lot of good tech posted here around 2004-2005 IIRC. Stacked $20 headgaskets is the least of his genious contribution, but that engine DID detonate (too much compression). Just search for norm.You can always use multiple felpro gaskets stacked.
I don't remember all of the details on the process, but I remember something about using copper spray between them. A quick search will bring it up I'm sure.
Then again, the member doing this was also using emery cloth to bring down the thickness of the piston crown. He did have a motor with a serious kick-ass reputation though. I wish I could remember his screen name!
Then again, it isn't a widespread solution, so I'm sure there is some sort of implication with the method.
-
I thought felpro only made a 1.00mm L28 gasket. I would double check since it could drastically increase the likelyhood to detenate.
-
That is too cool! I love the Z's, the turbo vette, and all those '55s.
-
That is the one, I went buy there and I thought "this thing would be perfect for RHD conversion". I'm glad that it went to a good cause. Do you have the wheels that were on it. I might be interested in those.

I know of a very early vin (69 build date) RHD fairlady, but it is a rusted heap. If you are interested in that I can hook you up.

GREAT TIMES!!!!, but, in Argentine, there aren´t a model 280ZX TURBO(L28ET)...
The L28 NA is the only way for start...
Thanks for the list, obviously proving that two turbos are better than one, always, everytime, in other words "the best".
And since there is no factory l28et in your home market you should have to have a custom one off expensive twin turbo manifold, because the factory nissan ones are never on ebay for $50-$75 u.s.d.
Now I see that you are right, and all the posters above that told you to search because the information is out there (if not on this very site) were so blatantly wrong.
Keep up the good work. We are all looking forward to your 5 year, $5000, 250hp turbo build. I can't wait!

I'll try, my hard drive just fried and this is a new comp. Bare with me.
-
They need to build them in 15x10 -40 or -45. I'd buy a set then.
-
I have an aluminum spacer with a 240sx tb mounted, throttle linkage modded, intake match ported, custom steel afm pipe (so you don't have to mess with miss matched rubber and vacuum leaks). It has three newer injectors. The whole thing for sale for $200.
-
I've heard they work in a 25. I have no idea about the 20, I'm not an rb guy.
-
Another variable that will help your fuel tuning is the enrichment knob. You can see its value on the third guage above the duty value.
-
I have some r34 gtr cams. Hotter than what you're looking for, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
-
If you're broke and in college, get a simple air intake + K&N and a 2.5" exhaust. Worry about swaps later.

You CAN run sqaure port headers on round exhaust ports. Look it up on this forum, it has been done many times. I have 3-4 of these heads laying around if you want one. $200 plus shipping, don't worry about paypal fees.

They are still on eagle's website. I haven't called, but that leads me to believe they are available.
-
Funny thing about my timing is I was gonna give you a call Friday on the way home from work, but I was dog tired. One hit of that quervo and I'd have been worthless. It's good to hear its coming together though, and fantastic that the ignition is sorted. I'll try to get out there in the next couple of weeks (not this weekend though... anniversary) for one of those break in rides.
-
Did you get the engine in the car yet?

Racers on both coasts prefer Sunbelt in Flowery Branch, GA. They are a race shop. But any trustworthy machine shop can do a stock rebuild. Check out http://bradysenginemachineservice.com/home.html They do really nice work and the last time I was there they had a couple of L28ET's they where working on. They built a 2jz for a guy I know that put down 1400hp to the wheels. Just call ahead because the get backed up sometimes. Brady's is located in Auburn GA.

Pull that tree out and see if there is a J-pipe right there!
-
I have an open 3.9 r200 with 170k on it. Never raced or abused. Two owner car, my friend and my self, until I smashed a fender and parted it out. I've been sitting on this for a few years, but I can use the money right now. $125 plus shipping. PM if interested
-
And I have an EDIS set up. PM if interested

That really made my morning. Hilarious!

As far as cost of stroking the 3.5 or 3.7 there is always the truck 4.0 VQ. Sure the guys at crower would tell you to run there kit, but I think the truck crank is worth looking into.
Looking for a torque plate to use - anyone?
