onephatz Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I'm in the planning process for a turbo setup going into my '75 280z Just some info to start: f-54 block bored +1mm je pistons - 8.3:1 stock rods p90a head n42 intake (non egr) mits. 17g or garrett t3/t4 a/r.62 commpressor front mount i/c turbo/2+2 flywheel t-5 tranny 300zxt 3.7 lsd 280zx half shafts 17" wheels bridgestone potenza's ect..... my goal is 400 flywheel hp. what I need to know is, is it possable to use any of the stock z fuel or ignition parts and still be able to control knock by controling the things that cause knock(timing,fuel,ect) OR do I just need to invest in a stand alone fuel system with spark/knock control(sds EM4 6F) this car is not intended for a daily driver and when it is going to be driven will be driven hard. I just don't want to have to tear down the motor in 2 months because I bent a rod or broke a piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I bought a J&S knock sensor/retard. It has the capability of only retarding one cylinder. $750. 714.534.6975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKMGK Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 What he means is that it can sense what cylinder knocked and retard THAT cylinder instead of retarding them ALL. Just because one cylinder knocked doesn't mean the rest are going to Same setup used on my standalone - way cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
