Guest polarity Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 what is teh average cost of putting a turbo motor into a NA car (motor from a ZXT into a plain ZX) Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Billy: I shopped around and found a wrecked turbo donor car that I bought for $800 (including my transportation costs). It was an '82 ZXt/T-5. I ended up being able to sell enough parts off of the car to cover all of my costs. Mine is going into my '70, so I'm having to cover the additional expenses of fuel pump, fpr, I/C, fuel rail, etc.... Does that give you an idea?

Guest polarity Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yes it does. What all is needed from a donor car to do this swap. I can pickup the turbo motor pretty cheap. I assume I will need the wiring harness, trans, ic, turbo(obviously). anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 If this is a 240Z, you need a pump that can run injector PSI which I believe is 30psi in these cars. May want new fuel lines to boot, might even be neccessary, especially if your going to make power, compared to 130ish HP of a 240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much just the wiring harness with the ECU, the AFM with the ducting and the distributor. Get the fuel pump too, but you can run stock boost fine with the ZX pump. And you will need to run a custom exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
