thanks for the info 510six!! that little tip will probably keep me from hitting a wall when i'm testing out the nitrous after install.

thanks for the info. i run 20 psi with a t3/t04 turbo. my friend is getting rid of his direct port set up and i was hoping i could utilize it on my 280

Hello everyone! this might sound crazy and i am not exactly an expert with this engine but what type of internal mods will be needed to hold at least a 50 or 75 shot of nitrous? The last thing i want is a blown engine because i didn't know the limits of this engine. thanks!!!

great thanks for the info!!

i want to upgrade my 280zx to a larger throttle body. will the sr20 tb work the same as the ka24? i know i need to have an adapter made but do those engines use the same tb? thanks for the help!!

oh snap Tony's in the triangle. too bad you cant kick it. it'd be hella intersting to talk to you. thanks for all the information!! the more stock looking=PASSES SMOG REF. long as errythin works good. thanks a lot! you've been a HUGE help

alright lets say the smog ref passes the visual with the fuel system, will the t3/t4 hybrid be a problem even though the original l28et had a t3 mounted on it? and i was going to weld pretty much everything on the exhaust; do you think i should make space to have the cat a bolt on? i don't mind having it as part of the system since it will be a high flow cat anyways?

hey tony does it matter what parts i add in terms of upgrades? i mean i'm going to run a T3/T4 w/ turbo pistons, after-market fuel system, and MSnS. I'm also planning on running a custom exhaust. I'm assuming i'm supposed to also fab an exhaust that will use a converter? also, what kind of set up are you running may i ask? thanks for the info!!

hey ben do you or your friend know any place in sac that dosent care about the visual and what? one of my friend's dad's owns a shop where they do smog and everything but he is going off to college. just any suggestions could help. thanks!

great!! thanks for the info guys.. all this has been a big help

hii i'm kind of new to the whole z scene but do the manifolds coming off the p90 and n47 line up the same? i understand the p90 can handle more power but how large of a gap is it? i'm shooting for around 300-350 at the wheels. will the p90 be that vital to the car's performance?

i'm not too sure how smog works to be honest on the record keeping side. i want to try getting away with the turbo but it will mess up the engine if i pull the after market fuel system. i might just revert everything to stock come that time or try to register it out of state

oh i didnt add the fact that i am going to use turbo forged pistons which is the only real big difference between the engines. the heads are similar in compression and so is the block. i'm just going to do as full turbo upgrade and jus take it all out every 2 years. i mean run a t3/t4 intercooled with a turbo intake manifold, bigger injectors, fuel pump, custom fuel rail, independent comp. management, custom exhaust, etc. should run good. i'm shootin for 300-350 at the wheels. i'm in south sac kinda north of elk grove. i need to double check the stuff i'm adding but hopefully it will work out

thanks for the advice but i found the answer

i'm a noob to this hybrid z and had a question about a general turbo set up. i have been reading information about my 280zx l28e and always found the simple answer of swapping the engine out but i was wondering why is it so difficult to turbo charge this NA engine. also with turbo charging this particular engine.. if i do manage to set up an turbo NA, would it b possible to run bigger injectors and an after-market fuel pump to run any boost (at the least)? oh yeah and modding the air fuel ratio with a megasquirt system. I want to make a street legal set up which is also a bit of an extreme idea so i am hoping this will be a decent way to get past the visual inspection CA requires for smog. any idea guys? sorry if this idea seems far-fetched...

i am adding a turbo to my l28e engine and need some help or information regarding the stock intake system. there is a part connected right before the throttle body which leads other hoses to other parts of the engine. from my general knowledge of cars, my first instinct is to figure out a way to connect the intercooler directly to the throttle body. however, this part is in my way for a clean connection. should i just connect the intercooler to that part (connecting the hoses) or is there a way for me to eliminate or relocate it?
