Silver Mine Motors Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 ok you need the turbo header from the 280zx, a turbo(either stock or bigger one), down pipe with exhaust, bigger injectorS(420), adjustable efi system (i'v heard of some poeple using those 300zx turbo ones on ebay, but i dont know much about that), bigger fuel rail, bigger fuel pump, fuel regulator, and maybe a few other parts that i might be forgetting. if you engine is built with forged internals then you should be able to boost around 15 psi. maybe more or less. also the only difference between youy bottom end of your engine and the 280zxt engine is that it has a nok sensor, and a different oil pan which you will also need to get. i think your engine might have one but if not you should drill and tap a hole and install a nok sensor. go to this link http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=84860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarang Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You say you don't want any part of a 280ZXT, but you use a P90 head from a 280ZXT???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You say you don't want any part of a 280ZXT, but you use a P90 head from a 280ZXT???? You beet me to it! LOL Read, Search, Read some more. After you've done this do it again and bookmark your favorite threads. No question is dumb, unless your not smart enough to search first. Then make sure you said so first. I've heard using google sometimes produces better searches then the site itself does, but I haven't tried this yet. Welcome Austin! Z+$$$$ = One fast car!
