Randall Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well wanted to post up some pics of my 77' 280z (mostly stock daily driver) and post the ongoing turbo project into my 76' 280z. Here are some pics of the 77' that I just purchased. Had to completely go through the brakes and clean out the fuel system and tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 well i pretty much have everything to install the motor just received my clutch, turbo, and block last week and finished painting the valve cover, pan, head, intake manifold, and block. Just need to either modify the stock T3 wastegate actuator for the T04E or buy a bracket and new actuator...still trying to decide Eye Candy!!!! You can see on the disc that one side is organic and the other feramic material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Here are some updated pics of the 76. I finally got the motor in and am still working on all of the wiring and piping. 76' Album - http://s596.beta.photobucket.com/user/longhorn262/library/76%20280z 77' Album - http://s596.beta.photobucket.com/user/longhorn262/library/77%20280z I decided just to post the albums since every time i post a link to the picture it disappears after a while.

carbondatsun Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 im curious how much he charged your for the turbo rebuild. Also where did you purchase the megasquirt im looking for one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 i think its about 300 for a standard rebuild but i added a t4 50 trim compressor plus shipping mine was close to 400. I bought all of my megasquirt from DIYautotune.com Matt at DIYautotune is very knowledgeable and helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
