Rb25 neo6 in a '83 280zx? Need help with mounts!

[JewelMermaid]

Hey guys!  I just got an Rb25det given to me as a gift; it's a crate motor ready to go with trannie. 

 

I want to take it in to my GSMotorsports shop to swap it for my broken non-turbo L-series in my '83 2+2.  

They want me to gather the parts that I can find so it doesn't sit around their shop while they order things. 

 

I've bought this downpipe so far.

Will this exhaust fit on, even though it's designed for the L-series?

The friend that gifted me the engine told me it should.  If you have any other or better suggestions for exhaust (hopefully under $5-600) I would love to hear them.

 

 

The main problem I am having though, is the motor mounts.  I can find TONS for the s30 chassis but none for my ZX.  

Are they interchangeable?   My friend is not very familiar with Z-cars at all, he's a honda/240sx guy so he kind of left me to the wind, but none of the s30 mount listings mention the s130//zx, so I'm thinking they aren't.

 

If you can point me in the right direction for the mounts or if the case is that I'll have to get them fabricated or something, please let me know.  

 

 The shop will fab the drive shaft and wiring harness for me, but is there anything else I might need for this swap?

 

I appreciate any replies, I'm really lost on this one and don't want to see my poor 280 sit in the garage any longer than it has to.

With a rear sump pan it should bolt right in a s130. I believe you can use your original driveshaft as well. Can't remember about the trans. Learn to use search btw.

Alright, I do apologize for that.  It was a full day in the garage and I was very frustrated with my L28.  I got lazy and posted before going to sleep, sorry.

 

I've searched every thread I could find now, and I have seen a couple posts that agree with your idea that the stock ZX mounts will do the trick with a little drilling.  

 

After I get hold of my shop and get their advice I'll probably go with pat1's sump if he still sells them.

 

 

My searching here and google can't turn up anything reasonable on how to tell if that exhaust will mate up with that downpipe though.  I imagine my shop can mod them if they had to but if there is a way to tell if the one I am buying will fit that would obviously be better.

An aftermarket downpipe would probably not make that exhaust a bolt in affair, and if you have to fab something, might as well have an exhaust shop make the whole exhaust from the turbo back. It would probably be cheaper also. 

 

Last I heard pat does still make and sell the rear sump pans.

He still makes them, I got mine delivered a few months ago, real beauty. He gets backed up from time to time but even then he's fast.

Whitehead up here in canada makes some cast aluminum rear sump pans for those to fit into s30's too...

 

Alternately Enjuku (who offers pat's pan) also carries a mckinney one for s30.
