Now here is a question for all you turbo junkys...... From my understand the compression on a stock turbo with a P90 head and dished pistons is 7.8:1 correct ( sorry if im a little off thats from memory ) When you mix flat top pistons with a p79 head produces an estimated compression ratio of 8.8:1..... now here is the question... What if you were to take flat top pistons and a P79 and installed them on a turbo for the compression ratio of 8.8 : 1....this would increase your torque over what you used to have because of the raised CR ( right? ) but still be a low enough compression that with an intercooler could produced the high end power of a turbo motor? now i dont know if this has been done and its just a theory on my part. Let me know what you think.... So basically im saying could you use a P79 cycl head and flat-top pistons for a turbo and produce MORE power ( torque and maybe HP ) than a stock turbo? Matt

Taking a non turbo l28 engine, say from an 83 280zx...and turning into turbo...whats needed? I know its been answered by im making sure i didnt miss anything. Matt

Thanks for your help guys i appreciate it. If anyone has done the swap and could tell me what kind of problem i could have, Ex: driveline, fuel system, delivery, so on and so forth I would really appreciate it. Thanks alot for all your help Matt

Hi everyone, im new to this site and i REALLY dont know much about the 240 engine ( or even what its called, like z31 or L28 but i intend to read the tech info like crazy ) Right now im really looking at restoring an early 240Z, now my original intention was going to be dropping a 280zxT motor into the restored body of the car. Now, my question is this...is it possible to turbo charge the engine of the 240? insted of putting a new engine in? If it is possible has anyone done it? what are the costs and what procedures must you go through to do it? thanks alot everyone Matt
