Steven280zx Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I need some help with my 1982 280zx. First, this car has been sitting outside abandoned for about 10 years and i dont have very much mechanical experiance. Its an L28E NA inside there and im hoping to get a turbo into it once its fixed. I'm wondering whether to fix the stock L28E or to buy and put in a L28ET. I searched all the forums and couldn't find any advice on this but if i missed it sorry about that.

zeiss150 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 this should answer all of your questions about a turbo swap. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=104196&highlight=n%2Fa+turbo the quick answer to your question is that yes you can turn your N/A L28e into a turbo motor. you'll find that there are about 50 different ways to do it. Your N/A block is the same as a turbo block, the pistons are different and the head is differnt (with a differnent cam) there is also different injectors, distributor, exaust manifold, and a bunch of other little parts that I don't want to get into. if you are going to build a turbo engine do lots of research before you start, because you only want to do it once. good luck and let us know if you have any questions.
