Can I use the TPS on the s13 throttle body? Or is the TPS pic I posted by itself the only usable one?
-
I have this s13 throttle body with the attached TPS. However, when installing megasquirt I see a lot of builds that have the sensor in the photo on the right.
Can I use the one that is already attached to the throttle body?

Hows the MSII installing going? I am about to do the same thing in mine. I have all the parts for a turbo build just need to buy the MSII unit and build and install.

As the title states, Looking for 280zx turbo dizzy w/ shaft and a turbo oil pump. PM me or shoot me a txt 732-551-6269.

There is a reason the L28ET distributor has a larger diameter cap, which is to allow a wider range of spark advance. I don't think you can reliably get that with a locked N/A distributor.
In regard to the SVO injectors, they flow 370cc/min, which does support about 300hp. I dynoed an altitude-adjusted 313hp to the wheels with those injectors, but for reliability I think you should use a higher flow unit for 300-350hp.
Yeah I was thinking of going with the 440cc supra injectors since you seattlejester stated the SVO would be near max and pushing the limits. So it would have to be turbo dizzy then?

Thanks for the help! Also would I be able to run the stock na distributor, or will i have to run the zx? I see a lot of talk about locking the NA distributor, I believe this is to tune with the megasquirt? Therefore I should be able to use the stock dizzy and just lock it and run the turbo?

1/2 way not there meaning ... it's hard to turn one way and not the other? First make sure it's full. Then try it again.
I have an old chevy truck 2001 that doesn't leak at all. One way it turns perfect. The other way it's like what power steering. Still haven't figured that out. I drive it once a week to mow my rental property grass so no worries. One day I'll get around to it.
Yeah thats exactly how it is right now, one way feels like power steering and turning the opposite feels like no power steering. Yes, I did top it off originally as my first step.

Yes. If it is the boot after the afm and before the throttle body your introducing unmetered air.
Get a friend, wife, parent, bum, rock to give it gas while you hunt.
Also go read up on what your working on. You can download the whole FSM for free.
Thanks for the help, found out there was a tear on that boot, i just taped it up to see if that was the issue, and it was. Car runs perfect again. Just a temporary fix for now will replace it. Once again thanks for the help!
Instead of making another thread.....My power steering feels like its 1/2 way not there, but I did notice this was leaking the other day on the drivers side.

Okay, problem is the car wont stay running long enough for me to be in the engine bay looking for a vacuum leak. If I do not occasionally give the car gas it will die, which points to it being lean, and probably a vacuum leak as you stated as well.
Would a hole in the elbow that goes to the throttle body cause such a problem as well?

So I decided to fix my fuel injector problem (leaking injector) so once I got everything hooked back up the car fired up but wont stay running at idle. i drove it home from the shop and driving it responds great, normal as usual. Just if I let it idle the rpms will start to drop and the engine will eventually die.
Im guessing it is a vacuum leak? I checked the hoses there are no rips or tears in them.
In the attached photo , what is the circular thing that has the hose on the top of it, kinda looks like a wastegate and is goldish in color?
When I turn the key to the on position I can hear air around there, not sure if it is escaping from the hoses, but they are not cracked and there were no clamps on it before I took it off.

Hello everyone, I know I will probobly get flammed for this but I was wondering what supporting mods I would need for the zx while running a hy35. I am looking for moderate 300-350hp.
Engine
My 81zx is NA , so it has the flat tops and higher compression. Would running just the 2mm thicker head gasket suffice.
Fuel
Merkur XR4TI / Ford SVO -
---Would these suffice or bigger injectors needed?
---New Fuel pump Walbro 255
Management
---Was going to go with Mega Squirt , If I do what is needed from the ZXT engine, anything?
Wastegate
---Running external, mounted on exhaust manifold.
Intercooler
---Was thinking maybe a dodge srt4 neon intercooler , stock unit is good to 350-400 hp.
What do you all think? Any suggestions or additions?

So what you see in that thread is how you have to do the fronts. The rear however need something completely different since Datsun decided to go with an all-in-one strut tube. What techno toy tuning is doing is using a clamping thing to basically act as the perch for the coilover sleeve.
The Kyb struts can be used if you go this route, but you'd have to get springs matched to them, which would kinda defeat the purpose of going with coilovers.
Personally I don't like either of those ideas, which is why I opted for a full s13 suspension.
All in all, I spent maybe $600 on used s13 coilovers, welding and powdercoating the front strut tubes, and custom rear tophats. I'd say that's pretty cheap.
Would these work in the zx https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TbCA4k1zQSI/maxresdefault.jpg ?

Dam, I really like the duck tail spoiler , i do not know if I can justify spending just about the cost of the spoiler in shipping alone, same goes for if I want a front air dam

Anyone every purchase this from ebay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1979-1983-Bre-Style-Rear-Spoiler-6-that-fits-Nissan-Datsun-280zx-/112467424361?fits=Make%3ADatsun&hash=item1a2f94b469:g:CoYAAOSwz71ZWmWM&vxp=mtr#shpCntId
What do you think of it?
I would buy the one from zstore but I am in Alaska and to ship the spoiler is 150, basically the cost of the item.

Ill prob hold out then until I find a good deal on the 240sx coils and just use them then,

So I just recently purchased a s130, and I was wanting to put coilovers on the car. However, I noticed some people have used coilover sleeves and cut the struts on the car to make a modified coilover.
Such as this https://www.zdriver.com/forums/280zx-brakes-wheels-suspension-chassis-81/how-make-%2450-front-coilovers-37341/.
However I notied that my car has KYB struts. Would I be able to use the KYB and do this mod?
Also, has anyone else done this and have any experience on it? Ebay kit , or too cheaply made?

Does it matter at which Ohms I am measuring at? At 20k Ohms, if I measure the center to the one prong it starts low at about 2.0 and goes up to around 14 and when I measure the other it will go from 10.05 and decrease to 0.10 at WOT.
