Supercharged is a belt driven charger... turbocharger is an exhaust driven charger. Twin turbo = two turbos. http://www.google.com is a useful too in research

Indeed! I need fatter tires!!!

Here's the 4 page discussion from ZDriver: http://zdriver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20171 Question all cleared up.

What do you mean it's acting like it's in gear? The starter won't engage at all?

Yeah... he was 81 Black L28E on Zdriver.

14.4 @ 98 MPH... using a 3.7:1 diff... about 260whp, 300lb/ft torque.

need... to... learn... how... to... use... a... camera....

Buying new is a good idea... but next time, instead of calling 5mil junk yards... use http://www.car-parts.com

Did you leave your headlights on?

Did you take pics of the setup when you dropped it in the engine bay? If so, post it. There's usually a way to "tweak" things when necessary. Was the turbo hitting the inner fender?

AutoZone sells several diff fuel line thread sealants... I can't remember the name of the one I used, but it's a white paste like RTV. It was about $2/tube.

1979 280z turbo??? Interesting.... In 79 it was a 280ZX... but the first 280zx TURBO was intro'd in 81... Was he doing a turbo engine swap???? You can get L28 & L28ET pistons from a lot of places. Your local Nissan dealer... http://www.thezstore.com http://www.blackdragonauto.com and most any machine shop.

Skittle! Come on... a shop!?

nope

To go along w/ what Z-ya just said, I'm gunna share a lil secret w/ ya nategdizzle... You can get Ford 370cc injectors for oh... say... $60-$80 for a set of 8 (usually sold in sets of 4) from ebay. Why, there's some on ebay right now! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-3-Ford-Turbo-35lb-Brown-Top-Injectors-Mustang-SVO-TC_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33554QQhashZitem130023215861QQihZ003QQitemZ130023215861QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW And look.... slightly larger than those! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/36lb-Turbo-Ford-brown-top-injectors-Turbo-Coupe-SVO_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33554QQhashZitem330025899876QQihZ014QQitemZ330025899876QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

So ya just gunna hook up a bottle n spray eh? That's how people melt pistons.... Be sure to post pics of the damage.

The reason they rust so quick is because Datsun didn't use good sealant / metal treatment until the mid 80's. Same for Toyota.

It has been said several times in this thread: YOU NEED BIGGER INJECTORS YOU NEED AN AFTERMARKET OR UPGRADED ECU

What kind of "practice" are you going to do in the junk yard??? Do you have power tools available there?

If you're a ricer....

Using the SEARCH helps ( http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php ). There's only about 5 billion threads about building a high hp L28ET We'd all love to type up a huge list of possible mods... but since it's all been typed 5 billion times before, there's really no need.

The reason... my L28ET has 2300 miles in 3 years... only driven on nice dry days, and when it's running right. DOH! That manual rack should fit just like the power rack. I doubt there would be any mounting/hook up differences.

WTF??? Sounds like YOUR turbo has a problem too... like evildky said: stock boost is 5-7psi. Attached is what the 280zx TURBO factory service manual says about the turbocharger. If you do the math of converting mmHG to PSI... you get 6-7psi.
