    This is basically where I stand now. Its comming along slowly but hope to get it running soon. Im sick of driving an Isuzu Rodeo :'(

    Feel free to leave any comments/questions and I'll attempt to answer them as best as possible :D

     

     

     

  2. haha yea I was in a hurry on writing this post so I was drawing blanks haha.

    I have the wideband with the gauge, 240sx throttle body with tps, and the GM AIT sensor haha. I have almost every part for the entire turbo setup......just dont know where to start putting it together hahahahaha, as well as the wiring harness is making me go cross eyed just looking at it haha

  3. Hey I need a lot of help with wiring because I have no idea what Im doing haha. I dont know what I need to keep and what I can let go.

     

    I'm in the middle of turboing my 77 280z and I need some advice. Im not sure if there is any threads on this already but I did look and didnt see any.

     

    So for the electrical in my car, I have a Megasquirt with the 8' wiring harness from DIYAUTO, SS Blaster and 6AL, and Turbo Dizzy. 

     

    I know its tough to have someone describe to me or even post pics but any help is appreciated. I just have no idea where to start.

  4. Thanks for the link and all the info. Im probably just gonna run an internal wastegate for the time being.

     

    I'm now on the hunt for a turbo. My end game would hopefully be around the 350hp-400hp mark. if anyone could giving me some ideas for which turbo can accomplish that Id be very appreciative. No i don't expect to have 400 out the gate, I'm just looking to work my way there someday haha

  5. haha thanks for the advice, I forgot about the wide band.

     

    I'm leaving the clutch for now cause it's not to bad and if stuff starts to break it's gonna be the clutch to go.

     

    yes my injectors are massive haha I got them from my buddy who put a turbo on his 633csi bmw haha but he no longer has the car so i just bought his cause they were cheap haha :P.

     

    I also need to know which megasquirt that i need because all the different versions and build your own are getting me all confused hahaha.

  6. So I posted this under the S30 section buuut I'm not sure if I posted in the wrong spot so I thought I'd try here.

     

    Hey hows it going?

    I have been gathering parts for a turbo build for my 77 280z. I am just wondering what I'm missing.

    My parts list so far:

    ARP head studs

    240sx throttle body with TPS

    turbo exhaust manifold

    Intercooler and Piping

    downpipe

    BOV

    Fuel pressure regulator

    turbo oil pan

    oil lines

    MSD 6al and ss blaster

    aluminum radiator

    599cc injectors

    Upgraded fuel pump

     

    I know I'm missing a few things such as a turbo, some electric fans, and a Megasquirt (not sure which one I need, so any help here would be really appreciated) but other then that I'm not sure on what else I need. Minds drawing a blank.

    Any help is appreciated

  8. Im not sure what its called or if anyone makes it. I know its on a gnose, a 3 piece spoiler, and wide fender flares but other then that Im stumped on where to find it. Also If anyone could tell me about the hood because that thing is sweet. Ive seen this kit on other cars but Im not sure if its all just custom.

  9. Hey how's it going? Im having an issue with my 77 280z running like crap until it heats up. I sit there (seems like 5 min) for it to get to the point of not shutting off on me, otherwise it will just shut off or idle at 500ish and then shut off. I am also getting a strange popping noise while Im having to hold down the gas, which I believe is comming from the intake. I know it's not the most descriptive post buuuuut that's really all I got. Any help is appreciated

    Ps. my cars been sitting for a day and it's completely dead.... noooo idea whats up. I turn the key and it just sits there. no fuel pump naise, no clicking like its a dead battery, my lights dont even turn on. Everything is hooked up nice and tight and my fuses are fine... Soooo... ya Im lost on that one. I did have the rubber stopper, that hits the button to turn my break lights off, disintegrate on me a week ago; however I taped a quarter there to hit it. ^.^b so again any help is appreciated

  10. I love this site so much haha, im glad to know im not the only one that has had stipid **** happen haha. i realized my lights were staying on today and im like WTF!!!!!! but before i noticed they were staying on I saw some rubber on the ground, im like great my cars falling apart hahah. but after reading this now everything makes sense hahaha :D so happy
