Guest PBooty Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I saw this turbo kit on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=34198&item=2441786275 Does anyone know anything about this kit? Is it complete or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I have one of the earlier versions of that kit I harvested while in Japan. It usually is for the L20A version Fairlady Z---it was intended to give L28 N/A performance, but with more torque. It works fairlay well, but as it is an 80's kit, reallys is limited by todays standards: fuel enrichment is via resistors on the cold-start circuit tripped by Hobbs Pressure switches. For a "period modification" the appeal is killer. If I didn't have one already for my L20A, I might consider it for my L28 Fairlady with a turbo upgrade. Now come to think of it, my kit has the blowoff valve incorporated into the "SK Turbo" part of the piping, so maybe this is an older version. I will say the cast iron adapter kicked butt on anythign Crown ever offered here in the states. The adapter for the turbo is quite nice. My kit has a Hitachi Turbo, also---not sure by his photos what kind it is in his kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PBooty Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 TONY D... What type of gains did u achieve with this upgrade? What other parts are necessary, besides this kit, for a complete install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 As I stated earlier, the result of the kit installation is that the 2-Litre 6 cylinder performed similarly to an N/A L28. For my money, I would simply get an L20ET and install it, or better yet, an L28ET which will outperform this kit out of the box. As with any kit from the period, fabrication will be required for installation. They were designed for shops to install, not the guy on the corner bolting-stuff onto his ride.
