Guest swapdohc Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Im am new to this board, Datsuns and forced induction. I have taken my Honda as far as I can go on motor (13.5) and feel that boosting a FWD car will still leave me at the line compared to the RWD and AWD. I have always loved the 1st generation 240z and am now the proud owned of of a 1971 carcus. It has some cancer here and there but is in overall good condition. Now on to the question. I also bought a 83 turbo 280 that has been bored 30/1000, has forged pistons (Dish 9:1) and rods, balanced rotating assembly, turbonetics t3/t4, some mild head work (1200 miles on rebuild and new turbo), a t5 transmission and a 200 rear end (With lsd and disc brakes). How much of this stuff will transfer over to the 240 and are there any changes I should make to the carcus before it is painted. Also does anyone know of anyone who makes an aftermarket turbo manifold as I don't think the factory manifold will support my 450-550hp goals. Thank you for taking time to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bastaad525 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Just about all of it will transfer over. Not sure about the disc brakes, and I think you need to do some small mods to get the T5 into a 240, it wont just bolt in like the nissan tranny will... I may be wrong about that though, I know quite a few guys run them. It really should all be very straightforward and nearly 'drop right in'.

evildky Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 you might want to check the stickies down in the turbo forum, and I believe we have a few in the 430 whp range with the stock manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
