Guest Anonymous Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Does anyone where know of any good pages of somebody that converted a 280zx NA into a turbo? I know someone from here has done it and has a really nice page on the process but cant remember who he was. Man ive considered a ton of cars to save up for but I still long for my old 280zx so im thikning of getting another. Of course i could get an turbo model form the begining but I'm not sure how likely it is that ill find one in the condition im hoping for.

jeromio Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 I'll be the first to lay down the standard response on this question: there really is no "converting" an N/A L28 to turbo. The people who have turbo L28 motors swapped in an L28 turbo engine from a ZX turbo. If you can't find a ZXt in good shape, you can always get either an NA 280ZX (or 240 ) and swap in the mill from a salvage yard. Get the whole thing - wiring, ECU, etc. Probably take a weekend to do it - unless you go crazy and detail your engine bay or something. Or, like alot of people, you end up rebuilding the engine with go-fast stuff, getting a bigger turbo, upgrading to SDS, putting in an intercooler, etc., etc...
