im not finding any thing about poeple turboing there l24

my 1 Q is can you use a 280zxt turbo header on a l24

and my 2nd Q is what all do you need to turbo a l24

im a noob at z cars found a good deal on a 240z and wont to know how hard it is to turbo

Not finding anything because nobody does it.

You would need to lower the compression...stock L24 motor really isn't in any shape to turbo. Cheapest and easiest way to do this would be to find a wrecked 280zx turbo and swap the drivetrain into it.

It just isn't worth it to add a turbo to an L24 (IMHO).

Always learn to use the search function, to check out the hundreds of posts that have been made on just about any subject you can think of on a Z car. It's likely been addressed at one time or another. If you don't find enough info here, try looking at HybridZ. They have tons of info on this subject, and alot more. Happy hunting!

i do a lot with sr20 motors and iv seen poeple turboing 9.1 10.1 11.1 comp motors so i thank it can be done i like the l24 becouse i makes more hp when its n/a then any othere l6 there fore beter for turboing

You got to remember, the L6 engine is over 30 years olds in design. You will definitely want to address the head gasket and studs. Just about any mod can be done to an engine, but that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do...speaking about the SR20 engines! There is always a price to pay for performance.....the more you squeeze out of it, this shorter it's life will be. Extreme example; whats the run life of a AA/F dragster......maybe a minute if your lucky! I quess it's just a matter of what and how you want to do it....and of course how much time and $$$ you want to through at it.

well that sucks i guess il be doing a 1jzgte swap

to turbo an L24, the parts list would be insane. Off the top of my head I can think of:

intake manifold, throttle body, fuel rail, fuel injectors (to convert to FI), custom ecu/fuel controller/ignition controller, low-compression pistons, 280ZX Turbo camshaft, 280ZX P90 or P90a cylinder head, turbo, custom exhaust manifold, custom downpipe, custom uppipe, intercooler, custom intercooler plumbing, blow-off valve, internal or external wastegate, upgraded distrubitor or convert to electric ignition (which adds even more parts), upgraded fuel pump, 280Z/280ZX fuel tank, fuel line and return lines, fuel pressure regulator, o2 and MAF sensors (if you don't want your engine to blow up), custom air intake, custom exhaust, and a larger radiator than stock. Whew- is that it? I know I'm missing some stuff. But the L24's E88 block isn't made to handle boost, but the block is still stout. You would also probably want to change the internals before adding boost into the equation.

BTW: Adding a turbo on an L-series engine with a compression ratio of 11:1 would be diaster if you ever ran the engine more than 20 miles. It shouldn't be advised to run a turbo of any boost higher than 8 psi on a STREET engine with over 10.8:1 compression ratio, reguardless of the engine make or type.

you wouldn't have to convert to FI, but it is recommended for better performance.

nerver mind i found a 5spd 280z none turbo that im looking at
