  1. Yea, I thought it was a great deal to. I did search, but found nothing with the cam. Thanks guys, ill try to get a picture of the stuff for you.
  2. Hey guys. I just picked up a 83 lt28et complete for $50. It has 102k on it. I pulled the valve cover and head off. The pistons same 34 and p90 on them. The cam Has the letter M or W stamped on the end of it.It says E30 on it. I have new gaskets and water pump coming for this motor as we speak. What can you tell me about this cam and pistons? Is it original? Do I need to replace the oil pump and the timing chain as well? If i replace the chain do I need to replace the sprockets as well? Just let me know what you guys think. Thanks Dustin
  3. lol, come on guys. You made him delete the post.....
  4. Im unsure of the t3/t4 specs. I kinda wanna rock the t04e. What kinda gains can i expect at the same 10 psi as the t3? What all has to be modded? Do I have to run a spacer? I plan on a new oil feed line. Anything else?
  5. Hey guys, Im getting ready to pull my messed up 83 turbo motor in my 83 zxt to put in a low 72,000 miles 83 zxt motor in Im going with a 1 mm mls headgasket and new water pump and oil pump apon reinstall. I currently run the stock t3 turbo. I would like to upgrade my turbo before i put the motor in the car. Would you recommend a t3/t4 or the t04e. I can find both fairly cheap around where i live. What are the advantages of both? I know the t3/t4 needs rebuilt and the t04e is TO4E Turbocharger almost new .50 Compressor, .63 Turbine very high flow/ high boost turbo. Comes with integral wastegate. Which would you think would be best for street driven sometimes drag raced car? I plan to run a custom 2.5 or 3 inch downpipe into 3 inch exhaust, with big intercooler and 10 psi of boost and later on msns. Let me know what you guys and gals think.
  6. You can suck stuff up into the carb or throttle body into the intake and combustion chamber. You could potentially ruin your motor. You normally only see it on drag cars and they sometimes run a screen to block stuff. In short.....Dont do it.
  7. Go l28et, im picking up a new one since mine jumped some serious time. I plan for 300rwhp. Its really not that hard. All the power is in the head and tuning. Do some research.
  8. im going to run a world class t-5 manual from a late camaro behind it. I havent had any issues yet.
  9. awesome i found another motor on craigslist for 50$ with 89,000 miles on it. im going to use it as my rebuild block. ill have the head check, and arp studs then it should probably be good.
  10. Ok, now that i read that i guess i need to be more clear like said. I want to rebuild it without boring it any. I dont really have the money now to build a stroker so thats out to. I think a rering kit should do the job with all new bearings. Where can i get a good kit at? I need rings, gaskets. bearings, timing stuff. I plan to run a 3in turbo back with a custom down pipe of some sort. Should i upgrade the turbo while i have the motor out? Should i have the head milled some? New valve seals? Throw out some more ideas on stuff that needs done.
  11. Hey guys my 83 zxt's motor seems to have jumped time, so i plan on pulling the motor and rebuilding it when i fix it. So what im getting at is what are the things that should be addressed when i pull the motor apart? It has around 230,000 miles on it. Im shooting for around 300 rwhp with this motor which shouldnt be a big issue. So what do you guys think i should do?
  12. Yea, ive been looking in my hanes manual to see what didnt look like a must. I bought a bunch of vaccum caps tonight to plug crap off on it. How do i remove the charicol canister? Do i plug all the lines or vent one?
  13. Ok guys, i pulled the valve cover off to check the valves and noticed that on the drivers side of the timing chain it is incredibly loose. Is this normal? I see a rebuild by me in the future. Also is it me or do you need some kind of special tool to run the valves on this thing?
  14. Hey guys im trying to lose some weight up on the front of my car.(83 280zxt) I already took off the cruise control unit, and im about to go remove the a/c. What else can i remove so i can lighten up my track car? is there a smog pump? charcoal canister?
  15. Still no fix. I checked the vcm like suggested and it was still intact. Any other ideaqs? could it be a fuel pressure reg?
  16. Thanks a ton flat black, i still love your car. Any more ideas guys?
  17. Where is this vcm that you speak of? Can it cause a loss in power,ticking, hard starting. All of my issues?
  18. Ok guys so i got some issues with my car and i need some help. Mods are intake mods, no cat. Car has 240k on it and has been rebuilt -When i start my car in the morning or after it has sat all day at work. It has to crank an excessive amount before starting.(5-7 seconds) Once it starts it idles funny for a few second then its ok. Any ideas? -When i start my car and take off if i floor it within the first few minutes of starting, it spits and sputters and wont go anywhere and has no power at all.Any clues? -When I get on the throttle hard it pulls ok up to about 4300 rpm then it wont gain anymore speed until i shift. Is it running out of fuel? Whats wrong here? -Sometimes, more often than not, the motor wil tick. It will sometimes be louder than others and it will sometimes go away when the motor is reved up. It sounds like its coming from the front of the motor when i listen with a stethiscope. But i cant pinpoint it cause its coming from everypoint. Any ideas? I never noticed these issues when i first got the car a few months ago. It seems as thought they progressively have gotten worse. Thanks alot, Dustin
  19. yea, i think i might just throw that cam in and intake for now, like in the car craft story. Im unsure still.
  20. That would be the build im shooting for. But ive got the flat top pistons and its .030 over. and im gonna do something with the heads. But it should be more than enoguh in a rhd fairlady z
  21. ok guys, I did some tearing down on my motor. It is a .030 over 305 with flat top pistons. Im gonna try to build it up using car crafts 325 hp 305 build sheet. Im gonna put the world class t5 behind it and call it a day. If you got any advice about my heads, as in what i should do to them. Mill or whatnot. Give me ideas.
  22. My engine has now been identified as a 305 with a set of 350 heads on it. The heads are 64cc and not ideal for the motor from what i read. Im pretty sure my engine is the Lg4 as well. The Lg4 already had a low compression rating and now with these heads its gotta be like 8 to 1. I plan to rebuild it and add a cam, headers, aluminum intake and a good carb. I need help with the rebuild part. Summit sells kits but they say will have 8.39 to 1 comp with 64cc heads. If i buy a rebuild kit without pistons how do i know which ones to get to reaise the comp up. I know i can run a thinner head gasket, but what else? Can i mill the heads? How much if i can. Thanks, Dustin
  23. You moved in 1989......I was born in 1989. Thats funny. My sister lives between cambridge and new concord
  24. sweet, im reading an article on build a 325hp 305. Seems pretty easy no boring or stroking need. That should be more than enough hp in a 240z:)
