Guest apexi280zxt Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 My 79 280zxt is currently getting a face lift and a new rebuilt engine. I am doing to rebuild of an l20et engine that i got for free which the crank and rods are getting beed blasted for strength. I think it would be fairly interesting to build it up and see what its like. Since it is a japanese engine im having a hard time finding rings for it. If anybody can help please do so. I would like to see what this engine can do with my t3 turbo and a ported head and intake. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 They should be the same as any L20 rings, no? Which should be readily available at any Nissan dealership or decent car parts store. Regards - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest apexi280zxt Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 well thanks for help but i should have mentioned that I am looking for performance rings. Ones that i can use to crank up the boost on my engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I bit my lip but couldn't hold it. Why would you want a 2.0 when a 2.8 is just as easy to do? That's alot of $ in parts and labor. If you are adding a turbo it's for power. Pick up a 2.8 core and go at it. I can't see you being happy with the out come other than the rarity, knowing you could have had alot more. As for rings. Just don't get the cheapies. Budget rings use gray cast iron for the top ring. You want ductile iron on the top one. Factory turbo ring are ductile.
