CAMarten Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 '82 L28et stock turbo leaks like a... it leaks a lot. inside and out. Luckily the moron I bought it from had just learned to weld the day before he installed it so not only is the exhaust outlet welded on, but the compressor and turbine are also welded together, and very poorly at that. rather than try to grind out everything and then rebuild it I'm thinking about an aftermarket turbo to replace it. There are a few on ebay that claim a "universal fit on any car" and stuff like that, and mention 280zx in the description, such as the "JDM SPORT T3/T4 TURBOCHARGER" and the GT30. I'm looking for some good input form someone who knows what they are talking about (but not so much to confuse me ) on what are some good options. -I'm not looking for the best out there, just one slightly better than stock, reliable, and relatively cheap.

Ben Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Note sure if it ticks all your boxes, but... http://www.racetep.com/tnetic.html Or, try to get hold of one from a 300ZXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMarten Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 what is the difference between the H1E, H1C, H1D, etc... is it just a size difference? is any one better than the other? I can't find measurements, it bolts on the stock manifold right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
