I can get the Tec 3 with all sensors, coilpack etc for 2552$ at top end performance. Then for the new Single groove pulley with trigger fabricated and mounted I have to pay 325$. So the total price for the Tec3 for my 280ZXT engine will be 2877$. Pretty close to 3000$ I'd say. Anyone knows of a place I can get it cheaper, please let me know!!! Also, top end offers me a clutch package and aluminium flywheel for 945$. I find that too expensive. Can anyone give me advice on something cheaper than this? And where do I get cheap ARP Head studs for the engine? And a 1mm steel headgasket?

First of all, thank you very much for your reply! The thing I forgot to mention was that here in Norway we have 98 octane unleaded available as pump-gas. I guess that should make it a bit easier to reach my goal? Also, it is actually Alex Costas I have been talking to about the Microtech. I have been to Microtech's homepage, and there I saw the same thing you commented, for standalone ignition controll, I'll need the LT12X, not the LT8X. I tried to say that to Costas, but he claimed I could use the LT8X. I don't know... As for the price, you said it should be cheaper than what he offered me? Well, that was including coilpack, all sensors needed, and a billet cover to go over the distributor instead of the distributor cap. So I guess the price seems more right knowing that? But I'll mention it to him again about me perhaps needing the LT12X if I want to run standalone ignition. Any ideas as for 0-60 and 1/4mile times with the set-up I plan for the car? For the wheels, I have bought 17x7 Konigs, and will probably go with 215/40 tires on them. I have bought Illumina strut inserts, and will get the coil-over suspension from modern motorsport.

Hi! I am going to put a 280ZXT engine and driveline into a 240Z. Will get a T3/T04E Hybrid with internal wastegate, 50 trim turbine, stage 5 exhaust wheel, 0.50A/R compressor and 0.63A/R Turbine, watercooled and with ceramic coated turbine. (This is a good choice right?) I will put 550cc injectors in it, a JSK fuel rail, a SX fuel pressure regulator and a good fuel pump.(Recomendations on the pump? A cheap and powerful one?) Also, I'll get a good clutch-package and a aluminium flywheel. Will use 280ZXT halfshafts and get C/V adapters from Modern motorsports. I have bought a three core spearco intercooler, and am going to use 2.5" tubing and a 60mm 240SX throttlebody. I have thought about to options as for the engine management: Either I can go for the microtech LT8X engine management, with a coil pack and sensors for about 1500$, or I can go for the Electromotive TEC3 engine management system with crank trigger set-up etc for about the double amount. I know the Tec3 is supposed to be better when it comes to the ignition timing, and it's easier to adjust etc. But is it really worth spending twice as much as the microtech costs? I am hoping to get 400hp at the wheels. More the T5 won't be able to handle anyway. And I want the car to run as smooth as possible on all rpms etc. So what do you recommend? And price do have much to say for me, as I am a 22 year old student. With this engine set up I am talking about, do you think I'll be able to make 400hp at the wheels without problems? Oh, by the way, the engine is a stock 1981 280ZXT engine with 51 000 miles on it. F54 block, P90 head. I'll install a 1mm steel headgasket, ARP headstuds, and port the head and intake and exhaust manifold. Will use 3" straight through exhaust. And a Greddy profec B2 boost controller. Will also get a ripper shifter for the T5. The R200 will be a 3.54:1. So do you think my goal is acheivable? What 1/4 mile times and 0-60 times am I looking at here? (The 240Z it goes into is a 1970, so it's the first and lightest version) The injectors I plan on using is Lucas injectors for the supra MK3. This has o-ring fittings. Will it be a problem to use hoses on these and attach them to my JSK fuel rail? Perhaps a lot of questions here, but I hope some of you take the time to answer them!!
