[Question for StealthZ, Advice Needed =)]

I Agree, I think I will be going to the T3/T04e Stage III .63a/r 54 trim. BTW Here's his email on the difference...

 

"The only thing I can tell you is this, I have 2.2 in my Lotus Esprit turbo (picture of a .63 a/r 54 trim). This is the final configuration I ended up liking it. Since I can afford as much turbo I want, I experimented many different configurations and one of the configuration is .69 a/r .50 trim. This configuration, lots of lag but pick up at the end. I ended up using .63 a/r

54 trim because it is balance in performance. Good take off and also gave me a little top end.

See, configuring turbo is very critical. It does not apply the principle of "the bigger the better" Its totally wrong! You have to make a decision what type of driving you want. Traffic light to traffic light or top end performance. YOU CANNOT GET TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.

I used 4 turbochargers before I settled to the last one we are talking. Of course, I cannot comment that this is good for you too, but this is my experienced. If I were you, I will take .63 .54 rather than .69 a/r .50.....way too big for traffic light to traffic light. If you are looking for top end, then its different story."

[Question for StealthZ, Advice Needed =)]

Hi Stealth, I am getting a hybrid turbo made t3/t4e for my 71 240Z L28ET and wanted to get your advice, you posted this in March....

 

"I have beem fortunate enough to dyno a number of turbo configurations on Z-cars. And now that I am no longer working for a particular performance shop, I can let everyone in on my experience. I can say, without a doubt, the most impressive Garrett STREET turbo for a Z I have found is a T3/T4E stage V 69A/R 50 trim. It has phenominal spool up (starts at 1700rpm, and 280+ ft/lb of torque at the wheels by 3000rpm on a dynojet), and is capable of 450+ at the wheels. If you want the double throw down set-up, add the Turbonetics ball bearing option. Overall it is a hard combination to beat. The flow and size seems to be perfectly matched to the 2.8L L28 eng."

 

Just curious if you have tried this configuration for Z's .63 a/r 54 trim? If yes how was it compaired to the .69 a/r 50 trim. The reason I ask is because I talk to a person who tried 3 different turbo on his Lotus and one of them was a .69 a/r 50 trim. The turbo he like the best was .63 a/r 54 trim but that was on a Lotus not a Z. I am trying to make a descission on the two configurations.

 

Thank You in Advance,

Ron

[old mercedes rumors.....]

I'm just mentioning this for knowledge and nothing else... yes that is correct Datsun/Nissan copied a lot of Mercedes Engineering which is not bad, just means we have quality and reliable engines. Lots of interchangable parts but why pay more.

Yes I know, BTW it's 11.1 Thought it be a interesting article for other who haven't seen it.

[RC's question's]

I would call RC and get the answer. They were pretty helpful when I called them. I saw someone selling RC 720CC Injectors for the Supra TT cheap, called RC and ask if they would work on a 82 280zxT motor and they told me they would have to make a modification that cost $10 each to drop right in and they would do a flow test. They also have free recalibration and have lifetime warrantee. I know the info is over kill.

[90 supra turbo Injectors in a 280ZXT?]

Hello Everyone,

 

I read somewhere we can use the Toyota Supra Injectors in the 280zx Turbo motor? Can someone verify if this is true and if it's a direct bolt-on with no mods? If yes to all, will the one from a 90 toyota supra turbo work (440CC). I did a search but no said if they were a direct bolt on or not.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Ron
