afbrian13 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yes I ment that. I have an 83 turbo motor that runs well but the turbo needs rebuilt. I have my 76 that does not run so well. Just to get a decent running driver, and yes I have the correct parts laying around, could I put an NA exhaust on the turbo motor with turbo ECU and have it run fine? Basically the ECU would think it had no boost so it shouldn't matter. I'm just looking at a low cost way of getting my car running decent for now. And yeah - I have a garage full of random z parts to pull from (correct manifolds to match ports) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJLamberson Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I would imagine that would be one very sluggish engine do to low compression, and would probably get to much fuel... not 100% sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think it should be ok minus the really low compression. If you think about it, the AFM on those have a tighter spring to compensate for the boost, and larger injectors because of the boost. Without the turbo pushing the flap, the ECU would be running less fuel than normal. It would be REALLY underpowered because of the really low compression though.

cockerstar Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I may also have a turbo I may need to sell. Damn speeding tickets PM me for more info if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec280zx Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yep, thats how I ran my turbo conversion before I actually bolted on the turbo. Flat top f54/p90 head with 82 electronics, ran beautifully. But yea, with the lower compression it will be a little sluggish. If you're in a bind, it'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
