Yet another RB20 build topic .....

[jthiani]

So i got myself a 76 280z that needed restoration .... My plans are as follows

 

- Get the stock motor running so i can determine that it is indeed a good motor  (done)

- Do full service and parts replacement and compression test on stock motor     (done)

- Pull stock engine and replace with a twin turbo Rb20

 

So far so good. I got the stock motor running like a charm today and did a compression test with yielded between 135 and 142 across the board. To get to this point on the stock motor i have done the following

 

- Replaced the ENTIRE fuel setup ( injectors, lines, hoses, filter, pump)

- Replaced most EFI harness connectors and re taped the harness (its like new now )

- Replaced all spark plugs, wires and cap .

- Installed new pick up coil in the distributor

- flushed and filler the radiator

- changed oil and filter

- Installed new starter 

 

Thats about it ..... now that she runs well i am comfortable enough to pull the motor and either store it for a future project or sell it if someone else needs it. However if i sold it i would have to sell everything together (motor, trans, efi harness, ecu ... the whole lot)

 

Anyway heres a little video i made this afternoon
