73Zproject

Hey what do you think of this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/73-Datsun-240Z-with-RB25DET-Series-2-Skyline-Turbo-Eng_W0QQitemZ300351427326QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item45ee5712fe&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

The disco potato is installed now. It does have a quicker response than the stock turbo plus I'm running 11 psi of boost now. I also had custom IC pipes and exhaust made and installed by Tim at Turboelements. I added Cusco strut bars (front and back); had the crossover pipe and air plenum powder coated; had the heatshield, turbo and downpipe ceramic coated; and I painted the valve covers to match the car.

I believe the disco potato (GT28RS) will handle up to 350HP. I'm leaving most of the engine stock with the exception of the turbo. I bought the new turbo because I thought my old one was blowing oil. I chose the disco potato because its close to the orginal turbo size yet more effecient. It should work fine with the rest of my stock set up. One thing to note if anyone is planning on using the disco potato - It comes with a T2 flange and the RB25 manifold is sized for a T3. You can order the GT28RS with the T3 flange from one or two places that make their own turbine housings (kind of a hybrid disco potato).

This is my 73Z with an RB25DET. Future upgrades include custom IC pipes and a Garrett GT28RS.
