wAnNaBVaN Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 hey, i have a 83 280zxt and planning to upgrade t3/t4 turbo, npr intercooler, 240sx tb, jsk fel rail with svo injectrs, 3" dp . i have a friend that (supposebly)can install an apexi avcr and safc. will those 2 be enough tunning equipment? do i really need anything else? that will run me about almost 800 installed... goal is about 300 something hp to the wheels and the fastest 1/4 i can get. if i saved up another like 500 to end up having 1000+ for an sds system or any other system, is it worth it? i really dont know what else you would will do. will an ems help that much? will i even use any of the functions. i know theres alot of different opinions out there, or mayb just one good one, but what you guys think. am i missing anything? any other upgrades i should do ? thanks -van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I haven't heard of anyone using stock electronics with the ApexI piggybacks, so I'm not sure they are compatible. You best bet is to invest in the stand-alone EFI computer up front, like SDS, and not have to worry whether the stock electronics will function how you need them to. It doesn't sound like you are up to doing much fabricating on your own, so to get to your goal of 300rwhp you may have to open your budget up a little. $800 for the ApexI stuff sounds expensive for what it may or may not do - I intend to get the 300rwhp with stock electronics (Z31), but I am on a very tight budget and don't mind fabrication. It sounds like you otherwise have the right idea on parts, virtually identical to what I've got or will get - injectors, throttle body, hybrid turbo, good intercooler, 3" exhaust. I made my own fuel rail for less than $50 - fitting one for barbs is very easy, it's the "O" ring stuff that is hard. Of course I spent way too much on my fuel pressure regulator (AEM), but I needed the low pressure capability. Don't forget a good high pressure/high volume fuel pump with an adjustable regulator.

DatsunBoy77 Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 A few people on Zcar.com have had them work positively in their cars. I was thinking about doing the same but not till i switch to 300ZX turbo ecu and MAF. These work easilly where the 280ZX is much more difficult to wire. Seach over there and see what comes up.
