scottyMIz Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 i ran the zxt ecu for along time too after changing my injs twice (first time was 370cc second was 500cc injs) i ended up breaking the afm door cuz i had it wound so tight that it killed the rubber stoppers on the door. the best i got with the zxt stock electronics was a 12.8@110 mph at the track. i ended up going to a haltech ek6 and love it, its running my rb25det now. Im gonna see the limits of the stock n/a ecu and then move on to a MS 2 since they are relatively cheap and very adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Come to think of it...I just did the same with my 89 240SX...no intercooler ..just a hot pipe. i just got done turboharging my 2.2l sonoma and the stock computer handles it no problem and it has a map sensor. I did put on a fuel management unit to up the fuel pressure but it doesnt help much. If you get the zxt fuel injectors it will help too but it will run good on stock injs. I ran with the stock na electronics for along time and it started and ran great. If you not going to do this for a lil bit i will be doing mine very soon and u can see for your self.

Challenger Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hey scotty could we get some info on the setup you had with stock zxt components that got you a 12.8? Was that the stock turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 umm best with the stock turbo was 12.9@106mph 18psi had a volvo ic one of the plastic ones, had a stock clutch in it 370cc injs and street tires. The 12.8 was with the t3/t4 turbo and 500cc injs i coulda got better but after breaking the afm i decided to get the haltech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkzebra Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have a 1983 N/A ZX that I wanted to add a turbo to. It was suggested I should not do so because the N/A is a higher compression engine than the turbo one, and I could damage my engine. I am now looking to do a ZXT swap.

dat1gai Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 ZXT swap is probably the best choice and I have been able to find some whole donor cars for very cheap ($500) on craigslist but it's located far from where I am so it doesnt do me any good. Also, instead of doing the swap there's also the option of just buying a good shape ZXT but then i'd have to sell my NA 280zx first. I'm still trying to weigh out some options.
