JacktheRiffer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Im looking at getting an old 260/280z and was wondering what the cost/time required to get a good reliable turbo setup or if theres something besides turbo I could do to boost HP or torque to get my 0-60 time down to high 6 area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Search turbo conversion. Can be done for $600 or however much you decide to buy your parts car for. Can make 230whp on stock components easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Get a 280z as it will already have fuel injection and a compression ratio you can add a low boost turbo system. If you are good a rounding up good used parts then you can turbo charge a 280 for 300 to 600 dollars and do it over the weekend if you use a FMU for fuel enrichment and lock out the ignition timing curve. From my experience you should be able to run a 14.5 @ 95 mph in the 1/4 mile without an intercooler with stock 280zx boost (7-8 psi) and around 14.0 at 100mph with an Intercooler.

letitsnow Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I ran 13.4 at 101 on 6-7psi with an intercooler and megasquirt, I WILL go mid 12's this year with it. I would NOT count on doing it for sub-$1500, these engines are old and will have surprises, things will nickle and dime you to death. Plan on at LEAST 50% more than you're planning on.
