Turbopants240 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hello, I am new to this forum, but not to Z's. I used to be a Nissan tech at a Z shop outside of Atlanta back in 97 - 98 and have owned many Z's. I used to have a Turbo Tom setup with water injection, but I was dumb and sold it! I am now building my F54 block and wanting another TT setup. Does anyone know if there are any out there for sale??? The more complete the better (obviously). Anyway, thank you and have a great day!

ckelly78z Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I have heard and read (on these forums) about how water injection on Datsun aluminum heads will end up turning the smooth internal surfaces into swiss cheese from the H2o abrasiveness. It has something to with the alloy mixture when the heads were cast. Have you used the turbo tom system on a Datsun L28 with success ??

GeeZ Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I have a complete kit, but no wiring diagram. Has water injection & electronic ignition & TT modified Holley carb. Had Tom install in '96. Great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbopants240 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I had a setup with water injection about 12 years ago, but never installed it, so I can't really say about the reliability. I have heard of problems with tuning and overboosting, but not of the head-pitting issue. Have you seen this happen? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Tom install in '96. Great guy. How much are you looking for? What is the condition of the turbo? Was the carb modded by Tom too? Thanks!

GeeZ Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Everything is original Tom Wyatt, III. The only thing that will not come with the Electromotive kit is the timing wheel for the crank trigger as it will still on the car. The turbo will rebuilt by Turbonetics and they added a water cooled jacket. About 2.5K miles on that build. Back in '96 it was leading edge stuff and ran hard and quick. I am told by Electromotive that this kit is still selling on places like ebay for $500 but I haven't seen it. Anyway I'll let it go for $750.00 plus shipping. Shipping probably less then $50. Includes: intake w/carb, downpipe (3") w/rebuilt wastegate, turbo, Electromotive ignition w/o timing wheel, water injection, Moroso air cleaner. I don't think I missed anything.

NissanMaster Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Did the kit workout,I just found a complete 72 240z white,solid with Turbo Tom built L28,N42 turbo setup,brochure everything! Any ideas on what it may be worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeZ Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I did not end up selling it. A complete Z with TT kit is probably the same as any other Z. Probably more related to the condition of the car than the kit, unless it has a built block. My engine, F54, P90A, has forged pistons, "O" ringed heads.

Turbopants240 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 So did you get it? That is one straight looking 240! I'll post some pics of my new 240z as I go along, I ended up getting a Lime Green '72 240Z with the original engine and tranny on a stand and a '83 L28 F54/P-79/Electromotive already installed. All rebuilt engine and turbo, pictures, brochures, guages, etc... Should be a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
