Guest Anonymous Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 I have been planning a V8 Z project for a long time. Today I took a ride in a nasty 280Z turbo and I was very impressed with the performance. I would like to know more about turbos on the Z car. I just want a good daily driver thats still respectable on the steet.300 hp would be plenty for me. What is the common setup for this, block, heads, carbs, turbo,inner cooler, and the rest of the package? As you can tell not real hip on the Tokio Turbo scene. Oh-yea how does the system work.... I know that it forces air into the motor to make power but give me some details. Thanks ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 Check out my page at: http://members.home.net/drax77/newpage.html and click on "turbo buildup" on the left hand side. That will give you a bit of info. The system basically works by using a turbine, driven by the exhaust gasses to compress the intake air. You basically have a shaft with 2 impellors on it, one side has exhaust gas being forced past it, which spins the shaft, and the other side sucks air into the engine under pressure. Do some reading, and keep asking questions. ------------------ "Gimme Fuel, Gimme Fire, Gimme that which I desire" -Metallica Drax240z 1972 240z - L28TURBO transplant on the way! http://members.xoom.com/r_lewis/datsun.html http://members.home.net/drax77/newpage.html [This message has been edited by Drax240z (edited December 17, 2000).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
