Guest perrysmick Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I know very little about turbo's or z engine specifics. I know someone who has the follow for sale; 77z with rebuilt L28 with N42 bottom end and P79 head, 7.5 to 1 compression. Rebuilt Z3 turbo, manual boost controller, 2-1/2" exhaust high flow cat/muffler with zx 5spd. Also comes with a Saab Blackstone front mount intercooler, msa 6 into 1 header, weber 60mm big bore throttle body. Should I have any concerns about this system or components? What maintenance headaches does a turbo bring? Hard to tune? Is the engine compatible with the turbo? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Guest perrysmick Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 What's fishy about the 6 into 1 header? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Does it have a turbo hooked to it? Thats what I thought the seller was implying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 What is a Z3 turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest perrysmick Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 My bad, it is a t3 turbo and yes it is part of the system. Again, I don't know what the head, block or any of these numbers stand for. I am just looking for some quick input as to whether or not they are compatible or worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 the N42 block is the standard N/A block with dished pistons, not as strong as the F54 but should be fine unless your looking for 400hp, the P79 head is a sleaved emissions head found on ZX N/A motors, has the same volume as the P90 without the benefit of hydraulic lifter of the larger non sleaved runners as for the header thing, if the car has a turbo then most likely it does not have a header, if it has a 6 into 1 header the only way to add a turbo would be at the bottom of the car at the end of the collector next to the trans, so most likely your looking at an N/A car with a header or a turbo car without a header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77280 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 the header comes with the car it is not currently installed the car is relisted and back up for sale with a 3day auction i need to buy this other car before someone else does so this car must sell soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
