'75-76 are different than the '77-78's, so you'd be good with the '78.
-
What impedance are the stock L28ET injectors, they weren't listed on the sticky. I am thinking of running 295cc Supra injectors, the yellow kind. They are high impedance. I think the difference will be minimal, and I'll be able to run a fuel rail that can accept larger Denso injectors later
-
Does anyone here run a Clutch Masters clutch who can give some feedback? I'm leaning towards the stage 3 or 4 for my L28ET w/ Z32 trans. I'll be running light mods to start but next year I will be adding quite a few mods, and I am shooting for over 400hp eventually.
Also wouldn't mind feedback on Centerforce, Exedy, ACT, or any others.
-
Well I ended up buying the Fidanza, got it for $300 shipped from a board member. I now need a clutch....leaning towards the Clutch Masters stage 3 or 4 but I'm interested in the Centerforce dual friction...does that come in 240mm?
-
They make the E6X, I'm talking about an E6.
-
I've heard that the E6 is quite outdated and no longer supported by Haltech. Is it worth it to buy one of these, and if so, what do you think a unit is worth? I'm going to look around and see if anyone local is familiar with tuning the unit to see if I could even get it tuned.
-
wtf is a RRFPR? Is that an adjustable FPR? Can someone confirm that I just have to adjust the AFM teeth?
-
I was browsing eBay and landed on this:
What do you guys think? I like that the end tanks are on the same side but I'm not sure how I feel about the angle...
-
So basically I'll be stuck with the stock injectors if I'm unable to modify the ECU currently. RX-7 FC injectors are top feed, sorry I didn't specify. What about Supra non-turbo or Z31 injectors? I'm just looking to get away from the barb-style injectors and fuel rail so that I can go for bigger injectors later without having to change the fuel rail, if possible.
-
The valve cover came out nicely; I was gonna replace it but I think I'll keep it at least for now:
The front is going to need a LOT more work:
-
Hmm, alright I'll do some more research.
I started degreasing the engine today. Look at the difference!

Yes, I agree. My MR2 Turbo had a non-recirculating BOV and it was a mistake; I would autocross it and every time I'd lift off throttle and get right back on it again, the car would become very unsettled. Any idea if the GReddy RS is a recirculating type? I just happen to have one lying around

Hey guys, I'm a bit new to the whole upgrading fuel injection area. I have an L28ET, which means I have 265cc injectors. I would like to upgrade to a Pallnet fuel rail but I don't want to keep the barb-style since I will be upping the power eventually and will want larger injectors in the future. My question is more about fuel injectors and flow in general. For example, if I were to drop in RX-7 550cc injectors, a Walbro 255lb/hr fuel pump, and an adjustable FPR without making any adjustments to the ECU, would the difference in size or impedance cause it to run differently or would the injectors essentially just run at a lower duty cycle? Any help would be appreciated; thanks!
-
no, but many bolts are shared between the intake and exhaust manifolds, and they share the same gasket.
-
Today I removed the intake manifold, fuel rail, and a/c compressor and bracket. I'd like to get the engine all cleaned up before the week is over, since my Z is coming home this friday. Here's some progress pics, and a pic of the fuel tank I bought:

And I thought my $500 MR2 was a good deal. NICE FIND!

Today was a day filled with good news! 240hoke is selling bellhousing adapters for the Z32 transmission to the L-series, and also has a lot of Z32 transmissions for sale so I can just buy a trans. from him and not worry about sourcing one myself and mailing the bellhousing back and forth! Also, I secured myself a '76 EFI fuel tank (from AZ so there's no RUST...holy crap!) and N42 non-EGR intake manifold. Bought a Fidanza lightweight flywheel today, too! I'm really pumped because thus far the biggest worry of mine was the fuel tank, because I've been searching and I didn't think I could find the right year tank so I figured I'd have to pay big bucks to get mine modified, but that has been lifted from my shoulders. Now my biggest worries are making sure my turbo is alright, taking care of the wiring (luckily I have a brother who's an electronics engineer), and getting the new fuel lines in.

Is the shell in the background an FC RX-7?
Ding ding ding ding ding! You get a cookie! Like, from the website you're browsing....get it? Yeah, my gifts suck I know... But wow spot on!
I need to see what my options are for that turbo. If it's fixable I'll just do that and if not I'll probably look into the Z31 upgrade, in which case I'll probably try to use the Z31 ECU and....AFM is it?
-
So I took the turbo off last night, and the (according to the guy I bought it from) "rebuilt 0 miles turbo" looked like this:
Something's wrong with this picture...and the compressor wheel barely moved at all; I had to practically muscle it to move it, but that might be because it needs to be oiled.
Also, my engine was leaking pretty bad for a (also according to the seller) "rebuilt with 6,000 miles engine":
So I guess I'll have to replace some gaskets at least.
Lastly, why didn't Nissan cover over this hole with the new fuel injected blocks? Now I gotta spend like $30 to get a block-off plate since I don't need power steering.
-
Selling it to you? lol PM me
Does anyone know what the deal is with the power steering pump bracket doubling as a block-off for a hole in the engine? Can I just dremel off the rest of the bracket that I don't need? Or better yet, is there any place I can get a plate already made?
-
And here's my engine, already started tearing off the unnecessary stuff:
And a couple other parts I bought: Fairlady mirrors, Datsun fender emblems (thinking of getting the Fairlady emblems instead), OEM battery hold-down, and MSA flares.... One of them was sacrificed to a botched project on an MR2, so anyone wanna sell me one fender flare? These won't be going on for a while because I need to focus on the engine swap and I also don't have wheels/tires wide enough to fit the flares, nor need for any until the engine swap is done.
How much did you pay for that Z? Looks in very good shape.I paid $5,500. Unfortunately had to sell my super-rare '94 MR2 Turbo to afford it... (*wipes tears from eyes). I got it in Burlington, VT. It was restored in 2000ish if I recall; originally silver and I may choose to go back to that color eventually but for now, British Racing Green suits it quite well. It currently has an L26 with triple Weber 40mm carbs, but the carbs needed to be rebuilt and rather than spending silly amounts of money doing that, I decided to go turbo. I am sure gonna miss the sound of those Webers, though. They sound truly out of this world!!!

Oh boy, something to waste more time on the internet with!
Hey guys, my name's Corey. I've wanted a Z car for about 3 years now, but I think the obsession started many years ago when I first saw a 300ZX Shiro model as a small child... but that's not the point. The point is, I have searched long and hard and finally found myself a nice 1973 240Z, rust free and pristine enough for me. Since I never could decide which I'd rather have, a 240Z or 280ZX turbo, I decided to make the best of both worlds, with the now somewhat obligatory L28ET swap. Thus begins my swap thread and project blogging and whatever. I'll post progress as often as I have batteries for my camera. Since I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to Z cars, I'm also going to use this thread to ask a lot of questions, so I hope that all you L28ET owners can help me out!
Here's a list of parts I need for the swap:
L28ET (no, really?)...got one for $900 shipped w/ ecu, harness, accessories
Z32 5 speed transmission
bellhousing adapter
custom driveshaft (carbon fiber if budget permits...not likely though)
Fidanza aluminum flywheel, ARP flywheel bolts
Clutch Masters Stage 4 clutch
eBay short throw shifter
Arizona Z Car aluminum radiator
Arizona Z Car cast aluminum oil pan
NPR or eBay intercooler and piping
blow-off valve (still undecided on which type)
'75-76 EFI fuel tank or modded 240Z tank, larger lines, Walbro fuel pump
GReddy Profec B boost controller
non-EGR intake manifold
custom downpipe and 3" stainless steel exhaust
engine gaskets/seals: valve cover, oil pan, front/rear main seal, possibly HG
Let me know if I'm missing anything painfully obvious...
Anyhow, here's pics of the car:
You get a cookie if you can guess what that shell is in the background!

Oh, I forgot to mention, I have an L26 flywheel, so I don't know if that's even compatible with the L28ET that I'll be swapping in....therefore lightening my stock flywheel may not be an option unless I get an L28ET flywheel and lighten it which is probably cheapest of all oh no run-on sentence make it stop! I think I'm gonna go for the Fidanza.

Wow, those look amazing
