78zstyle Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hi, Im looking for someone to help me swap a l28et into my 78 N/A. Right now the l28et motor, but I need to send the block in to get prepped. I have a brand new t3/t4 turbo,60mm TB and a megasquirt. Im not really sure exactly what else I need to do to drop it in. So if you could send me a PM and maybe we could talk I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter72 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Do a search for turbo swap. All the parts that are needed will be in those posts and there are lots of them. So you have a lot of reading to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOZ UP Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Never done a L28E->T swap. I've got experience with megasquirt and NA to Turbo swaps with Z31s. The S30s are much easier from what I've read. As in, no swapping crossmembers or engine mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldlion Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm up in Mckinney, but probably not going to be very helpful. Barely enough time to work on my v8 swap right now. Wouldn't mind answering questions if I can help. I have heard the turbo swap is much more straight forward, especially if you have a donor turbo car.

the_dirtking Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Im in Fort Worth, and I just did a l28et into a '77 280z. I didn't use mega squirt but its probably pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 All, there are two Z car clubs in the DFW area. There is Z Club of Texas in the north Dallas area and Cowtown Z Club in the Arlington/Fort Worth area. I know personally there are guys who have done this swap in both clubs. Attend one of their meetings or get on their websites and see what you can find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
