evildky Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I posted thin in the datsun performance forrum then thought here might be better ? so here is a question, I have a 71 240z runs great, but I want major power, was wondering if I could take the turbo intake exhaust and computer and put it onto my 240 engine, my logic is that the higher compression ratio with the turbo and injection should make some nice numbers although on an old motor, I am sure life would not be terribly long but should be fun till then, will the turbo gear bolt up to the e31 head ? am I nuts ? has it been done ? how much power to expect ?

Tony240ZT Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 My orange car still has it's 2.4L bottom end. I tried turboing with the E88 head, but couldn't run very much boost. Have to replace the rings now because of some of the damage done in doing that. Also the E88 doesn't have EFI manifold mounting holes, but there is an E88 off of a maxima that does. Now the car runs with a P90 head, turbo head bolts, turbo oil pump, L28 head gasket. Also bolted on a t3/t4 turbo (water cooled), modified starion FMIC. I'm running 370cc/min injectors with an `83 280zx turbo efi system, runs a bit rich.. Just busted my stock auto tranny, and have another one ready to drop in. It makes enough power to push you back in your seat well.. Ultimately the turbo pistons are the better choice because of how the rings are possitioned. The little L24 revs damn fast now, the 65mm throttle body helped that out quite a bit I think. After I get the new tranny in I'll have to get a 1/4 mile time for you. I'd be happy with mid to high 13's with 15psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
