82-810 L28et Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Alright guys, some of you have been interested in seeing more of my 810. I started this thread to get opinions and ideas on where to go from here. I'd like to build this into a DD/AutoX car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82-810 L28et Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 I hear these are rare. Ive only seen pictures of stock 810's that have been driven into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarS30Z Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Car looks cool man. I like the front of the car looks very mean looking XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 That thing is awesome. I really want one. All blacked out like that it looks like a cross between and e30 M3 and a Grand national. How much power are you making with that, I bet that's a fun ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-810 L28et Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm only running 4~5lbs on the factory turbo and I'd say I'm in the 280-300 range. I don't want to push it too hard, tranny has one foot in the grave. The rear spoiler is off of a 80's prelude also, looks better on a car worth importing.

SleeperZ Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I like it, very stealthy, however that intercooler has heatsoak written on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82-810 L28et Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yea, a new intercooler setup is on my to-do list. I don't have the same space available for the intercooler as a stock s130, any ideas on possible placement/routing? I'm starting to think behind my air dam with some air flow improvements might be an option. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchetypeDatsun Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 That Maxi is sexy would love to see some wide Meshi's on it, everytime I see one on CL even stock it's gone just as fast as seeing it. Do you know what size exhaust is under there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) I'm only running 4~5lbs on the factory turbo and I'd say I'm in the 280-300 range. I don't want to push it too hard, tranny has one foot in the grave. The rear spoiler is off of a 80's prelude also, looks better on a car worth importing. Not trying to knock you or anything, just curious, what makes you think you're making that much power? Only times I've seen someone reach close to 300hp at that low boost is with extensive head work. Generally on closer to OEM or mild heads it'll take a good 13-15psi to get to 300hp. For example, most stock L28ET's at the 280ZX factory 7psi will put around 170-185 to the wheels... I DO dig the car though. Car is definitely the 80's done RIGHT. Boo-ya! Any idea what that thing actually weighs in at?

Tony D Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Agree with Gollum, you're about 100hp high unless you got Ron Isky's magic cam, ports flowing 230cfm, and a GT35R Turbo. You will be lucky spinning 200@8psi on the setup you stated. What the car needs is a Japan-Spec Sunny GTi-R intercooler scoop for the top mounted I/C... Totally period correct!

The only reason I quoted that range is because the PO told me that there was head work and newer internals. I didn't think to ask too much on the details but that was the range that I was told.

Tony D Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Absolutely impossible with the stock turbo at that level. He lied to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Either way, sweet car with a ton of potential for more power. Get a bigger intercooler and turbo and turn up the boost! New trannies aren't too hard to come by... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the same space available for the intercooler as a stock s130, any ideas on possible placement/routing? I'm starting to think behind my air dam with some air flow improvements might be an option. Thoughts? I would think about an air-to-water intercooler. I'd put the water intercooler where you have yours right now but insulate it to prevent adding extra heat from the engine bay to the system. You can mount the radiator in front of your stock rad and the hose is easy to route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
