Guest Bulldog55 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've spent the last couple years looking through posts and subjects on several sites (zcar, hybridz, atlanticz) waiting to get back into another Z. now I've started a new project car 77 280z 2+2. Body is very strait rust around rear quarters have replacemnet sheatmetal aready. floorboards intackt no noted rust frame rails are solid ect... I've done quite abit of resurch and hopefully my questions aren't too redundant. My current goals are 200+ RWHP. car curently has: 77 l28 dished pistons (origanal to the car) Removed the origanal R180 flat geared diffi and replaced with R200 3.54 diffi. monza 6-2-1 header 2 1/2" ex running dual flowmaster one mid body (for the drone effect!!) and one at the origanal location by the gas tank. I have the parts and plan to install: MN47 head (would like to have a mild port) 60mm TB (KA) with spacer plate will port at a later date convert to MSnS :mrgreen: I do have a 5 speed trans on hand and may do that swap also just starting with the auto (came with the car) I may consider adding an aftermarket turbo kit to the car maintaining =<10lbs of boost comp. ratio may cause broke pistons ect.. after that. My question is I've looked for the answers through the 'search':icon56: but havn't got this a good answer for this one!! Using the origanal oil pan from the 77 l28 block and adding the turbo would a fitting using a remote oil filter relocation kit and using pipefittings off of the remote plate to the turbo allow enough oil to passthrough the turbo? also before it returned to the system I would install a oil cooler. Could anyone for see a large issue with this? I will be running 10w-30 Mobil1 synth. (just personal preferance) thanks 77 280z 2+2; work in progress!

Guest Bulldog55 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Also on a side note I plan on changing the cam but wanted to decide on turbo or not prior to selecting duration ect..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cronic Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 You want the oil return line to be as large, and as free flowing as possible. Do not put the oil cooler after the turbo. I used 5/8" return line on my custom setups. 3/8's was too small, and caused leakage through the seals due to backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
