Which parts to mix to make this work?

[Guest NelsonTurbo240]

OK Guys I'm new to this forum. I tried searching and have not found what I'm looking for.

 

I have a 1977 280Z 2+2 with a L28 EFI engine, Auto Trans car for Parts.

 

I just got a 1973 240Z with the stock 240 engine and round top carbs. I wish to put this whole turbo setup into this car once I get all of it onto the L28.

 

Parts I have to work with:

I have a P-90 head.

Turbo.

wiring.

turbo computer.

Turbo intake and exhaust manifolds. I will know tomorrow what car these parts came off of but guess its a 280ZX Turbo.

 

I want to take the L28 out of the 77 280 and put all the turbo gear on it.

 

What will I need to do to this block to make it work other than add the P-90 to it? Thick head gasket? Lower compression forged pistons? I also read something about boost Ign timing retard issues when putting a turbo onto a N/A engine.

 

I'm good with turbo system but have not worked with a Z car yet. Had a 91 Talon Tsi AWD & a 1997 Shelby Turbo GLHS that I got some great power out of and think the Z will be an even better platform once I learn how to get it all together.

 

I look forward to sharing what I know about turbos and control systems with you guys when I run across a tread. I also will have some left over parts after this swap if you guys are in need.

 

Thanks in advance, Nelson

What do you plan on doing with your Round tops, Intakes and exhaust Manifold

 

as they will all have to come off?

I was thinking I will keep all the stock 240 stuff so I can go back to stock if I ever want to. I will keep you in mind if I change my mind.

 

Thanks...
