cheap triks for 280zx

[HKSZ]

Know any triks to get a bit more out of the 280 fi?

someone metioned about modifying or disconnesting the temp sensor to get it to fuel up better anyone know how to do this. :devious:

Don't disconnect it, put a 10k pot on the temp sensor so you can fine tune the enrichment-other wise on a hot day you are likely to have thick black smoke from your exhaust and probably foulled plugs-with the pot, you can adjust the smoke and fouling out.

Keep the car in a good state of tune. (Conventional NGK plugs, wires, c&R, valves and filters) Upgrade your coil with that from a Maxima-I'll try to find the year-hotter coil,cheep from the u-pull-it. Run a bottle of RPX through the car occasionally as per its instruction to clean the injectors.

Once the car is tuned up and the coil is hotter, play with some of the aftermarket stuff-you may be very supprise dat what a good tuneup can do!

The best coil is the Bosch type. The big blue ones you'll see them on the older V8 Mercedes. They have lots of fluid which keeps them cool and they last forever. I'm gonna get 1 once i've finished my motor.

What if I were to put a MSD ignition modual on the turbo engine, it calls for the Blaster 2 coil, (I don't want to sound stupid!) is the coil too much for the NGK Irridium plugs and Tyson 8.0mm wires. Better yet, what if I went MSD all the way with the spark wires. Should not be a problem then, right? Need an opinion.

Thanks :rambo:

I know nothing about the MSD ignition modules you guys in the US always refer to. Maybe someone else could help you better with that question?

Thanks guys, hls30.com that sounds like what I'm after do you know which sensor to modify- the water temp

- the air temp

or - thermotime switch?

Bought a 280zx just for the motor for the 240z I'm going to restore, in the mean time I've done the odd autox in the 280 and its really suprised me how well it goes and handles on dirt, I'm competing against full on Commodore rally cars and doing similar or better times.
