unfortunatly you cant have MAPS saved on the PDA which you can switch around and change on the fly..
basically you can use the existing MAP setups you have and modify the table values.. and save and burn it.. thats about it... =(
-
nice numbers!!
I want that much!!!
-
Ohh yeh.. Welcome to the boards!!
-
well the power seems to be good..
the turbo should give ya full power to nearly 5,200RPM which is usually the peak RPM in 280ZX's...
have you checked the spark plugs to make sure your engine is running ok and not too rich?! any feeling of a mis-fire?

sound deadening blankets.. Maybe DynoMat.. that sound deadening material they use for car stereo's and stuff..

Recently my car has been smoking grey/blue BAD upon start up. It starts to smoke after about 2 minutes of warming up and the exhuast pipe is HOT then it burns.... so I assumed some oil was leaking...
I assume this is due to mis-aligned valve guides.. OR oil leaking from the turbo charger and sitting in the exhuast pipe... which I am still trying to source down.
Anyway here are the numbers for my 1978 280Z N47 and N47 head, with that damn turbocharger.. LoL..
my FSM for my 1978 says it should be between 164psi - 178psi so obviously my rings are a bit worn.. but bad enough to require an immediate overhaul?
Good or Bad?
Cylinder 1 - 130psi
Cylinder 2 - 130psi
Cylinder 3 - 125psi
Cylinder 4 - 130psi
Cylinder 5 - 125psi
Cylinder 6 - 125psi
-
stock N47 N/A block and N47 head....
10 psi
-
whew.. lucky me.. my 1978 280Z already had resistors built in!
-
ummm...
there is a spacer, correct with the automatic flexplate, but when you remove it you have access to where the pilot bushing should be installed...
you did install the pilot bushing in the back of the block right?
-
Just like Tony D said.. you DONT NEED A LAPTOP!! LoL...
Mobythevan (Bryan Mr Kick AS S) uploaded his settings onto my MegaSquirt ECU.. and I drove home with them..
unfortunatly, I don't have a laptop to monitor the settings, or change the fuel or spark maps at any time..
NOW i can.. thanks to Renns (Roger) on the MegaSquirt EFI forums, who wrote a program for the Palm OS, and I used my Sony Clie PDA.
There is a real time display, I can log it, and I can change the fuel and spark maps!! How cool is this!
-
or buy MegaSquirt for $130 =)
-
it was easy.. look be less than 10 minutes to drop the oil pump.. and about 20 minutes with the help of Bryan to get the shaft aligned right... make sure the engine is at TDC though =)
-
Bryan (Mobythevan) has a JSK o-ring fuel rail, and 450cc DSM injectors in his car.
He put little o-rings on the pintles to prevent a vacuum leak, and used a custom tie down, to mount that fuel rail and injectors really snug and tightly.
Check his gallery for pics of his engine bay =)
-
good suggestion...
but there is NO rust there... only that yucky green/yellow stuff from the seats.. from whatever hay or grass they stuffed in there... =)
-
Here are some pics of the water-cooled turbo sources....
I tee'd off the thermostat housing using a stock hole and put in a hose!
As for the source I tee'd off the coolant fittings for the heater core inside the car, but it comes right before the water pump
-
well rebuilds can cost as much as $250.. as a new turbo which is actually decent and not a cheapo eBay special will cost around $500...
depends on what kind of power you are looking for.. and street driveability or track?!
-
Ok.. after finally getting everything tuned out perfectly with my car..
NOW it smokes once it warms up.... when i start it, the car runs fine and no smoke, then after driving for a bit and the exhuast is warmed up, it smokes.. white/blue smoke.. BAD... then goes away...
my assumption is there is oil coming out of the turbo on shut down, and sits inside the exhuast pipe. Then when I start the car up again and the exhuast warms up it burns.. hence the smoke..
I checked the intercooler piping and no oil residue or anything so i'm not sure if its a bad turbo oil seal or what?!?
Help me!!

here's my video.. http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=280Z-Turbo-short
on my 3rd clip... when I drive towards the camera u can hear the flutter on my turbo
-
yep... i bought my assembled MegaSquirt for under $250 and it took one to day to install thanks to Mobythevan, the greatest guy ever!! haha..
But anyway.. it took me nearly 1 week to attempt to get my N/A turbo setup running right.. took less than a day to get MSnS up and running and perfection right out of the box!!
-
very nice exhuast manifold!
-
I used the STOCK N/A harness on my car.. and with the help of my FSM and Blue's tech tips page... anyone can use the stock harness..
-
ok since I have done the swap..
i would advice.. DONT run on N/A electronics..
several people have.. but with a turbo.. im not sure of reliability and power..
for under $250 you can go megasquirt.. and tune it all ya want..
my car ran like crap on N/A electronics.. never again
-
LoL Bryan.. love the new signature!!
haha.. i owe ya so much

my car did that when I first did my turbo swap..
check and CLEAN all of the electrical connections with some contact cleaner and try her out...
after 30 years the wires and contacts get all coated in yucky green crap and kills the connections...
