Guest Anonymous Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Hey 82racer, could u post some pics of yur ZX on here, so I can have a geez. Also I believe u can purchase performance camshafts, If your looking for a drag type of car I know that MJP www.internetsecureserver.com/mjpauto/index.html sell some for the l28 series motor, I think they could give u a little more umpf! But they are an English company. Hey man wot are the oversized injectors from??? Cuz I would love to blow the doors off a few cars around my area!!!! Also wot do u think your 0-100km (0-60mph) times are as well as an approx quater mile that yur running? (The 0-100 are more important to me than quater) I'm just wondering cuz I have a N/a 280zx too, and I'm wondering if I should change some internals as a current cheap alternative Cheeeeeerrs Az Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Things i did to my 280zx that was chhep but made a difference. 1. Loose factory air cleaner. Had a cone filter atached to the fuel injection hose that ran trough the radiator support. 2. 2.5 inch exhuast on the factory manifold. 3. Slightly larger trotle body. Cant rememeber where this came from. Oh ex race Item i got cheep. 4. Plug erg hose with a ball bearing. I love my car and it was a heavy 2+2. Something I was going to do before i t/bone some stupid cow in it was wack on a turbo from the 2 lt l20 turbo 6. Seeing that you are in Aussie you might be able to find one of these at a jap import yard.They came of the early eighty lurals and skylines. I was'nt going to play with the boost. Just run standard compresion ratio an intercooler and around the factory 6-8 psi. i was trying to do this with no money as usual and hadnt thought about the fueling to much. You cam tweek the fuel pressure or mabye run an aditional injector that is controled buy a pressure switch. Cheers Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 quote (The 0-100 are more important to me than quater) Hey AZ, little confused by the statement. To me they are one and the same . If you are shooting for the quickest 0-100, then you are drag racing and for an NA, 100mph happens to be a nice target for a 1/4-mile MPH. If you are looking for a good bang for the buck, go for a lower final drive ratio. Not sure what ratio the R-O-W 280ZXs had, but if it is 3.54, then hunt down some 3.90s.

Guest Anonymous Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Actually, I think he means 0-100kph (He's in Australia) so it's really 0-60mph.

GrayZee Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Personally I think that you Yanks should have gave up that old crude form of measurement 20 years ago when the rest of the world did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Oops, sorry. The gear ratio recommendation is even more applicable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 really so your gettin round 5.0seconds for 0-100kph. That sounds a whole lotta fun! Does that mean that u can eat WRX's?? I just would like to blow every panel off one of those, they really peeve me! I just redone the head gasket and all that stuff, that needs to be fixed when the gasket blew, and I took it out about 5 mins ago with my dad in the passengers seat, and he asked me to let it rip I kindda did, and I prolly only got around 7 secs I guess... but it felt like a hell of a rush and I want more!!! Tell me all the mods I would need to get 5.0secs U have oversized injectors..... andddddd....?? I would need a pod filter..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zpeed Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 i know a guy that beat 97 wrx, he had a 240z with L28 N42 head, flat top pistons, head mildly port and polished, a mild cam, 2 1/4 exhaust, compression is at like 10.1:1 ,aftermarket filters for the 240z SUs, a 3.9 R200 rear end and a 5spd. he beat it off the line and to around 120kmph he said... . that thing goes hard.. prolly does low 14s high 13s... but i think he said that the WRX beat him around the corner thou, but now he has some better stiffer suspension so he might be able to beat it around the corner to now.. haha just something to think about.. i know you are talkin bout a ZX, but it has the same engine anyway, cept for the SU's maybe get some bigger injectors, a K&N cone (or just a homemade one) , 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 exhaust just start with the small things then get bigger.. and i think a stock 280zx does 0-100 in 10 secs.. u got a long way to go to get to 5secs... hehe.. hope to see that car when u get there damn kinda went off the subject there of the turbo and lbs and stuff.. sorry...
