my45mutt Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hello guys it my first post, I have owned my 81 280zx 2+2 for 6 years and the original motor in it is a l28e with 105,000 original miles. I have a l28et all apart I want to rebuild but at the junkyard found a 260z with a L26 with 2 carbs on it, I was thinking of getting the 260z motor and throwing triple webers on it. I am still new to making stuff custom and want a nice motor kinda cheap and want it to fit up to my stock trans. So any help would be great! Thanks Dust:icon28: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayolives Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 skib, Now and then I read something or see something that is really thought provoking. Your sketch says it all and is a great response without having to state the obvious . Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neotech84 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 its a perfect re-enactment of the moment when I opened this thread +1 The first thing you do when you have a question is SEARCH, it works great! Just try it for a few days then post a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravi757 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 If you want a DD just leave the l28e in, if you have to have a carbed l26 then start searching, if you want to go l28et then start searching. I guess what im trying to say is start searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I love this. Also, the 260Z has a 2.6 liter 6 cylinder? Do you know what other car had a 2.6 liter 6 cylinder? That's right, the Skyline GT-R. It's basically the same engine, they just called it the L26 so that people could snatch them up cheap at junk yards. The RB26DETT engine management, turbo chargers, fuel injection, etc, just slaps right on there! Good luck and don't forget to search for help!

kiwi303 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thats almost as mean as the time there was a thread discussing diffs, an active thread on the page, not kicked off too page 2. When an idiot with no search button started a new thread asking about strong about diffs. I suggested a Geo Metro diff, if he had LOOKED on the subforum page he would have seen a thread with Diff in the title and if he had read it he would have read the geo metro diff was considered a grenade under torque I wonder how many Geo Metro diffs the sucker has run through now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rolling Parts Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The L28 is already a "nice motor". 105k miles is nothing on these engines. Why throw away cubic inches if you want to propel a heavier ZX 2+2? Since a decent set of tripples will easily cost you around $1,000, why waste that money instead of using it to get the L28ET put together?
