I ask the company who made it (wotm) and they said it will be fine..what could i do if i feel i need to?

 

If WOTM made it, then I would trust it. If they bought it from China and repackaged it, then I would add a couple of braces from the turbo flange to the manifold flange.

I've seen computers placed in watertight metal boxes in the cowl of a S30 with the laptop connection run through a small hole in the passenger compartment side of firewall and the main engine harness connector mounted on the engine side of the firewall. Looked real clean.

i am going to do that john..i was checking out the area by the clutch pump. Im thinkning of mounting the ecu there in a box and running the HKS systems off that intot he car. As for the r154..yes i do expect the trany to blow up...but they have held 700hp with no issues in supras and lexus's both weight 1000lbs more the the Z.

I had a FSM for the 1971 240Z and a FSM for the Toyota Supra that I got the motor and harness out of.

 

You will NEED those two things.

 

In the 240Z the headlight harness and engine harness are integral I had to take apart the harness to find the proper wires and integrate them into my harness. If your 280Z harness is like the 240Z harness, you will need to get another harness, at least to make the front lighting easier on yourself. My Alternator is a system unto itself, although I did hook up the Amp meter, and all the factory temp and oil pressure gauges, just to make it look kinda stock. Put a Boost gauge where the clock was and a few more gauges in the glovebox along with the WB wiring.

 

Also many State side Supra owners that buy JDM front cuts extend the harness to make the harness run thru the firewall in the same place as a LHD car. Sounds like a good idea if it will fit under the cowl cover, just make sure your wiper linkage doesn't interfere.

 

If your using the stock tach you will need to do something there. I stole the guts out of a MK3 gauge cluster, the COP setup of the 2JZ will definitely not work with the stock tach. If your going with aftermarket gauges to make all the other gauges work will be the easy part. The hard part will be if you want to keep the factory gauges and all that.

 

For the Speedo your in luck that should hook right up to the R154 no problem. Your speedo might be off a little bit, but at least it will work.
