GrayZee Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Ok I'm a long ways from having my L28T in my car but I have a couple of questions. I've never driven or been in a zxt but I was talking to a guy the other day that had a 280zxt and he said it was really fast however it had a really bad problem with lag. Do these engines really have a long delay, or was there something wrong with his car? The newer vehicles don't seem to have that problem, so what is the remedy? Also can anyone tell me what I should expect from my new powerplant? It's a stock 76Z and I'm gonna drop in a 83zxt engine (stock) What sort of 1/4mile-0-60 times could I expect? I'll probably add a intercooler and turn up the boost later on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 I just did that swap and at first mine was fast but it did have alot of lag well just today i found out my wastegate was open a quarter of an inch all the time so it spooled up sloooowly.I fixed that and now it is sweeeet.I don't even notice lag at all but i'm use to the thing not spooling up fast.Mine is a 76 and my motor is out of an 81 i put the 5sp on it and it is fast i'll let you know what the quarter time is next weekend that's when i'm going.If you have any questions on the swap i can tell you it only took me two days to do the swap.I have a ic and i've turned up the boost to 9psi cuz that's where the stock pop-off valve blows at you can safely run 9 psi with out an intercooler but use good gas.
