Guest bigjake34452 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 hello, i am new to this forums, i have searched through and you guys are very knowledgeable. the car is a 1982 280zx 5 speed. i have been doing some research and apparently it is not worth trying to build the motor NA versus a turbo build. this year engine is supposed to have 8.8:1 compression. i was wondering if anyone here has boosted their NA motors, how they handled it, and if anything would have to be changed, besides injectors, distributer, AFM, and fuel pump. my main concern is how much boost this motor can handle with the stock flat tops. are the crank and rods the same on the turbo engine? any help at all would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Jake.

JSM Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It's all good. If you stay around here for awhile, you will realize (at least I did) how dumb some of our questions are. Good luck on your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
