You got your Z31 T3 turbo.. and downpipe to fit in your 240Z???
Other than the wastegate modifications... did you do any other mods to the car??
Please please PLEASE take some pics!! Somone told me the Z31 downpipe will NOT fit because it will hit the transmission!!
ohh I need to see this to believe it!!
I just don't want to be screwed when I take off my intake manifold and bolt on my turbo exhuast manifold and turbo.. and find out that it actually DOESN'T fit
Are you running a spacer?

Does anyone have a spare 280ZX turbo?? or at least the wastegate housing and downpipe??
I need one BAD BAD BAD!!!
Please please let me know.. i can send you money within minutes if you need money ASAP

does anyone have a source for these T3 Nissan flanges??? I need to buy a few for my car.. i am going to "attempt" to fab up a downpipe.. we will see how it goes

Hey guys.. I have been debating between the Izuzu NPR intercooler and the Porsche 944 intercooler...
Now the 944 intercoolers go for much cheaper on eBay and have a very good flow rating and are Bar and Plate design...
However, I don't know about the piping issue and the fittment.. since the 944's intercoolers are very thick.
I found these pictures from BumbleZee/WannaBREZ and his 944 setup, but honestly I don't like the intercooler sticking out that much.
Anyone have any pics of their 944 intercooler or piping?
Thanks!

so um.. anyone? anyone?

Just verified this from a Z31 guy...
It is a T3 thank goodness
-
really??
It BOLTS right up to my stock 280ZX turbo exhuast manifold.. so.. it would have to be a T3.. since the later 300ZX turbo's require a new exhuast manifold for the T25....
damnit.. can anyone verify from the pictures if this is a T3 or T25??

Well..
I recently bought a Z31 water-cooled T3 turbo... and I noticed something different about the turbo from the 280ZX turbo.
It is the same turbo, just the Z31 is water-cooled, HOWEVER,
The 280ZX turbo has the wastegate flapper ON the turbo housing.
The Z31 turbo has the wastegate flapper and housing ON the downpipe.
That stumped me.... I don't know if I can fit the Z31 downpipe on my 280Z ... but I do need to figure something out. I can run an external wastegate, but I don't need one because I am not going to be running much HP or have the money to buy one.
Can I use the stock Z31 downpipe? Should I cut it and modify it? What can I do about the wastegate?
I dunno... I am stumped.. and clueless.. I need help!!
-
Quick question.. what exactly does a V-band fitting do???
-
-
Well i finally got my water-cooled Z31 turbo in the mail!! Yay!!
Anyway.. I needed to re-clock the turbo, because the intake outlet of the turbo was pointing straight up, so I re-clocked it, and I have to find a good place to bolt the waste-gate actuator on.. so I got an L-Bracket for that.
I realize I may have to get a new down-pipe since the 300ZX downpipe won't fit..... but here are the pics...
I DO have a question though.. how the heck do I bolt up my coolant lines to that bolt?? It's a hollow bolt with holes as shown in the picture... what kind of fitting do I use?
(I searched for hours and hours and never found any good reference pics of the oil inlet and outlet fittings.. and what was the water-cooled section???)
BLUE maybe you can use it as a reference
So here's some :

Hey guys.. I recently bought a T3 Garrett turbocharger from a later Z31 turbo...
and after looking at the turbo.. I need some help figuring out which parts are the inlets? and which are the outlets??
I THINK it is water-cooled... but I am not sure.. can you guys help me out?
Is the OIL INLET correct?
Is the OIL OUTLET correct?
Is that center piece the water cooled inlet? or is it not watercooled?
NOTE : This is not an exact picture of the Garrett T3 turbo from the Z31.. however.. is the closest picture I can find

I just bought some 440cc Supra Turbo injectors...
however, after reading some threads...
is it true the L6 manifold requires machining to fit the injectors??
I am going to get an o-ring fuel rail from P.Allnet...
but does it require machining the manifold to fit?
-
=)
So after reading this thread.. i understand that the HKS S-AFR will work with our ECU then
I will need an MSD ignition and tach adapter to get it to work?
I will also need a 60mm TB from a 240SX and use the TPS??
I'm just about to buy this... just making 100% it will work

i have the twice pipes setup.. with no cat..
and 2 glass-packs...
I LOVE IT SOO MUCH!!
I like the gurgle and popping of the exhuast.. makes me feel like I have a rally car.. hehe.. and the occasional POW when declerating hard..
My bumper is burned .. i swear it spits flames when my exhuast is really really hot
-
hmm thanks...
guess i'll have to wait till i can afford my turbo and intercooler
-
I figured if I got an 60mm TB... and ported and matched it.. i might see some gains...
if i put in more fuel.. i need more air... hmm..
guess i'll just wait till i can afford a stock t3 or somethin

Hey guys...
I am slowly building up my parts for a kick ass turbo conversion...
my latest bunch of parts i just purchased was a set of low impedance 440cc injectors from a Toyota Supra Turbo..
Now i still have a LONG way to go, and alot of parts to get untill my conversion is complete.. but untill then....
if I hook up those 440cc injectors and a new fuel rail.. will I be looking at any performance gains? I have a stock N47 engine.. with just intake and exhuast...
But i figured.. ehh.. why not give it a try... maybe I can use these now...
If i am not looking at any performance gains with pluggin the injectors straight in.. how can I achieve some performance gains?
-
how much did you pay for that turbo??
i am looking for a t3/t04e turbo.. but I have seen them from $250 on eBay to $1,200 from Garrett and Turbonetics
-
hmm... with everything you have.. it shouldn't lean out.. especially with those bigger injectors and the AFPR... hmmm...
maybe it's just the limit of the stock turbo ECU...
I am interested in this to... anyone have a good answer?

I have been extremely interested in a turbo conversion for my 1978 280Z.
I have been searching around for a few years now on this site...
and I understand it's better to just swap in a 280ZXT engine into my car..
but my engine is running VERY strong and has only 100,000 miles on it.
I would trust my engine ALOT more than a junkyard one, and i figured would be cheaper.
But I am gathering a list of stuff that I need:
( i just need help to see if I miss anything)
Turbo Exhuast Manifold
Turbocharger and Wastegate
Oil Lines
Vacuum thinngy (what is the vacuum thing I need? what is it called?)
Turbo Injectors
Intercooler
Intercooler Piping
Downpipe
Turbo AFM
60mm TB
Now I understand I will have to tap into my stock oil pan, or get a turbo oil pan.
I hope to use a Z31 ECU or just go for MegaSquirt or SDS.
Do I need another oil pump to pump the oil to the turbo?
Am I missing anything else?

Just some cool pictures... Wagnan Midnight 240Z banner and 280Z burnout real*
Well decided to mess around with my 280Z and do a burnout...
Also anyone ever see the game Wagnan Midnight in arcades? The main banner title thing has a 240Z to advertise the game!!
Sweet!

I have a quick question...
As air compresses it generates heat.. hence why turbo cars *should* have an intercooler.
Now as air expands.. it cools. technically.. as the exhuast gas exits the engine... wouldn't it be more efficient to go from let's say a 2.25" to a gradual 3" piping in a relatively small distance? The exhuast gases would "expand" as the piping got larger, resulting in cooling, which means a faster flow??
I could be wrong.. but a crazy assumption?!
