1984rampage Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Already began ordering parts to megasquirt my 260z. The plan was to convert the L26 to EFI while learning the ins and outs of megasquirt and then eventually swapping an L28et into the car. What I hadnt realized is that the E88 head on the L26 lacks the injector notches that are cast into the newer heads? Is there anyway around this issue? What would be the easiest or best way to solve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Find a head off a fuel injected Z I would go for P79/P90 but I'm not entirely sure where that would put compression. An N47 would probably be fine if you aren't looking to make a lot of power at first, but a P90/L26ET could be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Cut the notches into the head with a die grinder. Mark the locations of the ports using a FI intake/exhaust gasket. Stuff a soft cloth into each intake and exhaust port to block chips and debris. Cut out the notches. Vacuum out the chips. Remove the cloth.

neotech84 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 ^ WINNER!!!! If the old motor is a test mule (an old or tired block) what's the worst that can happen???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozconnection Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I've used foam rubber instead of a rag, a much tighter seal is achieved. A rag will suffice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
