Posted August 31, 200519 yr comment_136468 Hi, im looking into buying a turbo for my 1976 280z . It is still fuel injected. I was wondering what i would need for this job as for parts other than the manifold and the turbo itself. Never had a car with a turbo so im new to them. Any input is welcome! Also if anyone is selling or knows of someone who is selling one im interested! =) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17107-turbo-in-a-76/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 31, 200519 yr comment_136471 The quickest and easiest way is to buy a complete running 80-83 280ZX turbo and move the engine and electronics-running rustbuckets are your best bet! That way you don't have to wonder if it will work, or hunt for other pieces.Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17107-turbo-in-a-76/#findComment-136471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 31, 200519 yr Author comment_136528 would a 88 300zx manifold and turbo and all that good stuff fit on a 280? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17107-turbo-in-a-76/#findComment-136528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 1, 200519 yr comment_136650 Prox is right, though it can be done you would be better suited to just get the turbo motor complete and install that route. To answer a previous question, the earlier 84-early 87 turbo itself. will work on the ZXT manifold but the Z31 manifold will not work on the S130, being the S130 is a inline six, and the Z31 is a V-6.
