if you got any junk yard were you from i suggest to go with a volvo oil cooler decent size looks profesional or pick up a rx7 oil cooler gen 2
Alright, how about fittings? I have no idea how any hoses will attach to the engine.
-
Hey guys, I am once again in a pickle. We want to run an oil cooler, but dont know what fittings or where to even find these fittings that will adapt to the oil cooler input/output pictured here, just above the oil filter input:
My quesiton for you guys is, where can I find these fittings? Also, which oil cooler can I use? I was looking around on summit racing and came across this:
All I know is that its an oil cooler and its fairly cheap. If you guys could help me, that would be awesome, thanks!!!

Ok boys, heres another question and yes, I have used the search. We need a fuel pump relay to run Megaquirt, so is there a specific one we must use, or are there universal ones out there we can purchase? Or, can we use one out of another car, such as this one:

McMaster Carr baby!

Addition: After you put a blockoff plate on "G" you do not need to do anything with hose "F". It will be sealed from the back by the blockoff plate
you may also notice that "F" runs not only to the fast idle valve but it has an X pipe that feeds the bypass valve "E" which you will plug and the source of air to all these hoses is a small pipe right off of the factory J pipe from the turbo.
I plugged these items but ran a hose directly from the J-pipe to the fast idle. It was still clean looking and retained my cold start idle.
Ok, well we're going to be installing an intercooler kit. Also, where can I find metric brass plugs for the threaded holes? In the end, we will need a lot of them, one for IAT, one for FPR, the long one that snakes up for the brake booster, one for the MAP sensor, and prolly another for something else, who knows.
-
The fast idle valve is only used on a cold startup. It will need to be triggered so I doubt Megasquirt has that feature. Megasquirt may have other cold start functions. I'm sure you'll figure that out in your research.
A good running L28et can start up and idle a little low without that fast idle valve.
Yes, Megasquirt 2 (which is what we're leaning toward) has that ability. But, for the time being, we will not use one. We will just hook up the handful of sensors that are absolutely needed and add on in the future.
-
hole "E" is for the bypass valve. It opens when shifting under boost. Block that with a factory oil pan plug. Then install a BOV.
"F" runs a hose to the fast idle valve. That valve bolts on to the bolts above hole A
"G" is for the AAC valve. I have no idea what that does. I made a flat blockoff plate and bolted it down right on the manifold.
"H" is your emergency release valve. It opens up and vents pressurized air at about 9psi. This is in case your wastegate fails to open or you decide to increase boost with a boost controller. If you remove it, it can be plugged with the large inset plug found on a Z31 intake manifold. (wrecking yard)
"D" went to some hoses that hooked up to the 280ZX carbon canister. I removed the canister, hoses, and plugged this. Found a 1st gen Altima (or most any late model Nissan) oil pan plug fit in.
"A, B, C" are for any vacuum hoses. boost gauge, FPR, ect.
Is the fast idle valve recommended? Will the valve work with megasquirt?
-
Hey guys, very newbish question, I've searched all over for an answer and cant find anything. We're just converting over to an L28ET from our L24 in our 240Z and we dont know a thing about sensors and what goes where. I do know some basics but I am wondering where I can find some information on what sensors do what, what sensors go where and where to mount them, expecially the "MAP" sensor. If you guys could get us rolling that would be awesome, thanks!
-
Alright, for whoever can help me, here is the intake manifold. We plan on running megasquirt, so what on this intake can be blocked off and what needs to stay. I know I need a vacuum draw for the master cylinders, but what else? At this point, I am lost at what to do with these holes. Also, there is one on the bottom, what is this for?
-
Back on subject, what modifications must be made to fit a T5 BG and driveshaft out of an '83 280ZX turbo into a '73 240Z with the stock R180 differential?
-
Bringing a dead thread back, but we're also looking to swap a T5 into our '73 240. We've bought the tranny and driveshaft. The car has the stock 4 speed and R180 rear end. I know the crossmember will need to be modified, but other than that, will the transmission and driveshaft bolt right in without lengthening/shortening the driveshaft?
-
We have another 240 and a rebuild E31 with 280 valves that we'd like to get set up. We'll just rebuild it and throw all that stuff on it. It'll be cool
-
Electronics wise, we're going to be running Megasquirt 2 hopefully, still waitin on the T5 borg warner, new oil pan, I think we're going to do the MSA downpipe and we're still figuring out what we're going to block off the intake manifold since we wont be running the EGR stuff. What will the stock turbo put out PSI wise?

Hey guys, we have now received our '83 280ZX L28ET with 78k miles on the clock when pulled, here it is when we received it (and yes, that is me!):
Ok, so there is the engine. Those pictures were taken the night we got the engine. Here is a "teaser" of the car we're putting it in (i'll get better pics of the car itself later):
Engine in the car now:
We actually just put carbs and refreshed that engine, but its coming back off
Anyways, this is the engine with us about an hour into it, prepping it for sandblasting the next night:Then, we went ahead and got a cherry picker and hoisted it up and let it have it:
Sandblasting rocks!
Alright, so next we rolled it into the garage and threw it on a stand
Pulled off the valve cover and was very satisfied with how everything looked
Alright, so the next step was to pull off the head and clean it up
I took the head over to the car wash and power washed it. Once I was done with that, it was now time to paint the block
Before:
Primered:
Painted!:
Now that the painting is done, we cleaned the deck, cylinders, and pistons as well as we could while leaving the crank assembled in the block
Kameari 1mm head gasket, and if you look close in this photo, you can still see the honing marks in the cylinders! God I love these engines!
Repainting the valve cover
Valve cover painted with all aluminum parts and head back on the engine
Valve cover sanded
Oil pan removed, it was all dented to hell
So thats where we are right now. One of the exhaust studs basically fell off the head with the other half in the head, so that has to be drilled out. The exhaust manifold and turbo is all cleaned up and ready to put on (stock turbo). The intake is in the process of having the EGR stuff removed and a 60mm 240sx TB installed on it. We will be running megaquirt with this system and eventually, we would like to be pushing ~250hp with stock turbo, if possible. We will also be running an intercooler with the setup. Let me know what you guys think!!!

Anyone?...

Hey guys, we just bought an '83 L28ET with ~78k miles on it. It included just about everything but the transmission, distributor, and crank pulley. We have stripped off all manifolds and accessories and are looking to get 300-350 hp with megasquirt, injectors, Holset (HY35 I think?), MSD, and intercooler. We have many questions though! First off, to install an intercooler on a 240z, what modifications need to be done? For the turbo, I know Big Phil uses a Holset HY35. Is this just the compressor side or is it both hot and cold side? How much is this turbo? Does it just bolt on? Also, this manifold is the EGR version, obviously, and I was curious as to if it is possible to remove the system or if it should stay. Is there a diagram of where all the piping/lines go? Also, should the exhaust manifold be heat wrapped or is it fine? And how about the injector cooler fan (or whatever its named), should that stay?
Let me know what you guys think, thanks! -
Hey guys, ave a 240z and was putting new shoes in the drum brakes and the retainer for the spring shot off and I was wondering if Ford and Chevy retainers are the same. Thanks!
-
So I would have to custom fit a projector into a stock 240Z "bulb" headlight?
-
Bringing this thread back to life. If I want legitimate HIDs, I want a projector instead of an H4 housing, such as the one off of Datsunrestore.com? (last item on this page: http://www.datsunrestore.com/catalog.html)

Alright, well, hopefully they'll work out. Thanks for all the help!

I believe you have done the right thing ordering the 40s....while the 45 will work, the 40s will work better. BUT...get a cam and exhaust to optimize the setup.
Honestly, running 45 on a stock to mild engine is way overkill. My 3.1 L ran 40s and was quicker than most that ran 45s.
Ok, we have the 6-1 header and MSA premium exhaust system (2.5"). Hopefully they will work out well. And finally, once these carbs arrive, is this the procedure to go by?:

Thanks!!

Once again, THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY STOCK INTERNALLY. The engine is setup like this:
Stock '73 L24
Triple 45 DCOEs
MSA 6-1 header
Mallory unilite distributor
We have gone ahead and ordered a set of 40 DCOEs to see if they'll behave better for our specific application. What do you guys think?
-
40s may be better but that depend on what you have done to the engine..cam and etc. I would rather undersize than oversize....its keeps air velocity up and the engine running well. What chokes are you running? If you have 45s on a stock like engine.....it may be a tough tune! unless you are running high race revs 40s should be all you need.
One thing about webers....small changes are better than big....MIkunis are a lot more forgiving!
cygnusx1 has a lot of good advice...that book is tops!
The engine/head setup is all stock...for now. We plan on putting on our E31 head with Stage 2 MSA cam and an N42 block. So the 40s would behave better with the stock setup we have now, correct? Not sure if it matters, but we have the cannon manifold and MSA 6-1 header.
-
Is it possible that I am overcarbed for a 73 L24 with stock E88 head? Would 40s behave better?
Let me know what you guys think, thanks!
