schmitty Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I recently acquired all of the parts for my turbo swap on my '78 280z 5-spd (minus the harness). I bought the turbo, intake/exhuast manifolds, t-body, alternator, j-pipe, down tube, oil pan, fuel rail w/injectors, valve cover, fuel pump, afm, full gasket set, swastika wheels, and eccs with the Jim Wolf P.O.P. upgrade package. All this already taken apart for $150. Minimal shaft play on the turbo and all of the studs are present. The sticker on the eccs states that the upgrade is for a 82-83 turbo MT. Question #1. Are there any differences in the wiring harnesses? Also, the gentleman i bought the parts off of has basically the rest of the complete car (minus the frame) - dash, fenders, suspension, B/W trannie, etc. It was an '82. I have already decided not to purchase and put in the B/W trannie as i have opted to stick with my low milage 5 spd. (i have a new dual friction clutch to help handle the extra power). He also has a P90a head as well that needs new valve seals. Q. #2. Should i bother with the extra cost of having that head machined and reworked or should i stick with the low milage stocker in my car now (I do know that my exhaust ports are round, but i understand that the square port exhaust manifold will work). I will be installing a Schneider cam and springs as well. Any personal advice or suggestions as to the best route or anything i have overlooked is appreciated.

GHtokyo Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Does that Jim Wolf setup use the Ford Lightning or Mustang MAF? If so, the wiring harness is probably different. (Don't know for sure, but it's something to investigate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
