drunkenmaster,

Nice score. Is that a factory exhaust manifold, just wandering what the casting numbers are on it.

Do you know if all the L series engines use the same turbo exhaust manifold.

Hope you can get it up and running.

Cheers

hehe nice score I have a new friend with a couple of these manifolds around his place . Was tempted to buy one till I saw how fast his NA Z was .

I have a spare P90 at home like you so will see what happens in the future.

There might be a Z get together here in Melb soon with a few of us young guys I'll keep you updated were looking at a Saturday or Sunday in a fortnight.:classic:

Well, a turbo is always going to be faster for many reasons including that it helps compensate for the outdated head design, but there is something inherently cool about a highly tuned NA L28, preferably with independant throttle bodies

I will check out the casting numbers today and post them up.

The inlet manifold pictured seems to be some sort of mock up to run the system on a carbureted car I think?

The exhaust casting is:

F5

*KN4

81 Y

Anyone got a source to find out what these mean.

I have a photo of another manifold which has 82 in place of 81 so perhaps this is the year as the turbo 280zx was an 81-83 car i think.
