MazterDizazter Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hey guys, I'm going to be swapping an L28ET into my 240Z. I have a HP goal of 500+whp, very gradually of course. The stock turbo that came with the engine needs to be rebuilt. I also have a T3/T4 .60 trim sitting around, but it too needs to be rebuilt. Some of the stock injectors are broken, so they need to be replaced; I'd probably just buy a new set. So my question is: should I rebuild or buy a serviceable stock turbo and injectors, run that and save for a better turbo, or rebuild/buy a serviceable T3/T4 and buy larger (550cc?) injectors, and possibly need to install an MLS head gasket just for safety's sake? I will be running Megasquirt either way. I will have many supporting mods such as an FMIC, BOV, electronic boost controller, baffled oil pan, aluminum radiator w/ electric fan, fuel cell and high-volume fuel pump w/ pressure regulator, 3" intake and exhaust. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveosupremeo Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 gonna need a bigger turbo for 500+ whp...i'd build for that from the start, otherwise you'll be building a 300hp motor, then selling stuff to build a 400hp motor, then again for 500...just build the big boy from the start, just don't drive it in the rain...hope you have a good job too.

Evan Purple240zt Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Don't forget ARP fasteners and forged pistons. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazterDizazter Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yes, that's what I wanted to avoid, selling parts to build over and over again. But I want to build it gradually since I will learn how it all works, and let's face it I've never even driven a 300whp car, let alone a 500whp car.
