DatsunD Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I started my turbo build the other day and got as far as putting the l28et exhaust manifold and 300zxt turbocharger on the block. I noticed the j pipe does not quite line up with the compressor housing outlet like it should. The outlet seems to be pointing up, more than the stock turbo would. My question Would it be easier to plumb an intercooler and due away with the j pipe? Hunt a used 280zxt turbocharger down and use it instead? Or is their another way to make this work? Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 You need to reclock the compressor housing, and it should fit fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunD Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Awsome thank you, I will have to look over my maximum boost book to see if i overlooked this re-clocking method. From what i searched i might have to fab or modify the wastegate actuator but i hope not, also make sure the oil drain line is somewhat pointing down.

If you have to reclock the t3 you will have to fabricate a new mount for the wastegate actuator, if that is not an issue then it's a few bolts and a quick twist to fix the problem.

Challenger Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Are your oil lines smashed? It looks like they got pinched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Argh! You took an L28ET Turbo OFF correct? Use the wastegate actuator off it, and reclock the housing. Use it as a guid to where it should line up to be, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
