hmm not sure, the only wires that are not going 2 anything are the B/R Y W and G maybe those 4 hook up 2 the 4 from my 280z computer power wires? but those are 2 Blue Red and Green i know someone has done this swapi wish i could find out how they go, its the last link in my chain of parts and time 2 get my car on the road

i got my turbo motor in my 77280z and all i need 2 do now is hook up power 2 the computer. there are only 4 wires from the 280z harness for power 2 BLUE RED GREEN and 7 from the 280zxT WHITE GREEN YELLOW BLUE/RED RED BLACK BLACK/WHITE does anyone know whow 2 hook these up? there is also another plug comming off the harness for prob the ignition the turbo harness has a 6 wire conection but the 280 has 4. i searched all over but did not find a thing

ok i bought a CF DF for my turbo swap but im running the N/A flywheel should i buy a new disk maybe even a stock one?? all this anti cf talk has got me scared. Is the PP still good? oh my what shall i do?

well it looks like welding would be better, all i need now is a welder and im good 2 go, thanks for all the reply's

hmmmmmmm it is still very interesting 2 me. i havent got a welder "yet" but i know i will. maybe ill rivet my rusty car and weld my good car when i finish that. but i guess nobody has done the riveting yet? anyone else have anything 2 ad??

i was wondering if seam riveting would work the same as welding? I did a seach but didnt see anything on it. Has anyone done this? i saw it somewhere and it made my ears perk up.

i just got CFdual for $320 can from Mopac my friend work there i guess it was a deal...?

thats just plain funny

im replacing my turbo and im trying 2 get the downpipe off the exaust pipe. But it wont come off. the bolts on the downpipe that hold the exaust on were snapped off by the previos owner so i have 2 put my extra downpipe on but the exaust wont come off? has this happend 2 anyone?

that looks freakin badass i was going 2 paint my cars primer black, and now i think they will stay like that for a while cause it looks so dam good. NICE!!

kewl, i cant wait 2 feel the boost.

thats what im intending on doing with the axles(putting them in my 78). if the u-joints dont match up i have the whole rear subframe of a N/A 2 put into the turbo chassis if the axles alone dont fit....im hoping i dont have 2 do that because thats allot more work, but i will if i have 2.

i have a turbo 81 280zx but i wanna use the CVshafts for me 78. I have Ujoints from a 82-83 will they just blot on after i take the CV's out?

ok so ill hook water up 2 those lines then...? the turbine has a little play in it does that meen its on its way out? should i get it rebuild or will it last long enuf just 2 put it on for a little while? it has just a little play in it not allot but it should prob have none right? :Matt

there for the waste gate? i have the same plastic tube's they bend down so that wouldnt make sence if it was for water? i wonder how it works for the waste gate? i guess ill just block them off since my old one doesnt have them..... :Matt

so its a 50/50 if i do it i guess, ill take a good look at where i can bring the coolant from, i guess they have 2 flow the right way or it will just sit water in the center housing... hmmmm thanks for the replies guys :Matt

wow coolant lines? the turbo looks exactly the same as the one i took off it just has those"coolant line's on them. it also has the oil line of course. can i run this turbo without hooking these up? or should i run some coolant too them? :Matt

i just bought a 81 turbo 280zx auto. the turbo is blown so i took it off 2 replace it. i have another turbo off a 83 i think and it has 2 90 deg plastic tubes comming off the center housing the turbo that i took off doesnt have these. what are they and where do i hook them up too? can i block them off? is it some kind off vent? thanks :Matt

Ok other than changing the oil and cleaning the oil feed line and of course new plugs is there anything else anyone can think of, because oil was going into the intake. Just wanna make sure befor i start it up i dont wanna breack anything... thanks Matt

ive bought a 81 zx with a blown turbo, I have a turbo 2 put on it but i was wondering if i have 2 do anything 2 it befor starting it up? Oil has gotten into the intake so do i NEED 2 clean up anything or can i just put a new turbo on and drive it? Thanks allot :Matt

wow i didnt even think of that stuff thanks tomohawk,datsunlover, its a couple things i can try befor i go 2 the local Z shop and ask

wheni pulled the plugs after running it for a while the were all the same across all cylinders, could all the injectors be bad equaly? thats hard 2 beleve. im thinking its more AFM if im going 2 take off the injectors im going 2 get new ones thanks for your post CozyZcole

Ok long storie short I did a full tune-up car seems 2 run fine but it blows black smoke when idling and allot more when i rev it up. Is it the AFM i think thats all it could be, ive read some posts about adjusting it(AFM) but be for i try that i wanna see if there might be something i missed? thanks: Matt

oh kool thanks for clearing that up. As soon as i get my car up and running and make sure everythings solid then on goes the turbo and MSD and all the other things i need NOT 2 blow up the motor. If i do make a mistake i have a 82 N/A motor that has been off the road for 10 years so the bottom end should still be good. But thats worst case. I wanna take baby steps and make it nice and solid so i dont blow-up when im chewin up some lame honda or drifting in the middle of nowhere 8)

wow thanks for all the info guys, now i have a better idea of what 2 do. I cant wait 2 dig into my car. good thing i got an extra block if anything goes wrong i think im going with the sto k setup with the rrfpr like Bastaad siad it sounds like the best way 2 go.
