I have heard that L28ET in a 240Z is illegal in Aus any truth in it. Just heard it once !! anyone know requirments to get one through? ROFL

Hi, Gaven ,Ben The turbo motor was the one at City Dismanters motors are not the only thing they dismantle ehh! Came accross a turbo kit for a 4.5Lt petrol patrol. AVO is the company that sells them in Victoria so they do make turbo petrol engines just not at City Distmantlers? :ermm: I'll post a picture so you can tell me your thoughts on the 4.5 petrol turbo kit. Wondering if I could use the exhaust manifold if they sell it separate? Sounds like your going all the way on your setup Ben like to see that when your done!! Just a few more dumb Questions on turbo setups. Should I fit a 280 fuel tank. What Diff would you recommend? Going to go through my car and see exaltly whats there on the drive train ect. Its all new so I am hoping I am setup there!! Is there anyone in Adelaide that you would say is the best for Zed car Turbos. Have spoken to Barry at (Datsport) at Lonsdale. Hes my first choice at the moment. Spoken to him a copy of times and hes done more than a few. Prefer to go with garages that do Zeds! Whats the difference from a turbo intake manifold and a normal fuel injected one just currious to see which I have?? Thanks again for all your help and advice:D

Hi, Mellow Sounds like your looking to do the same as I am. The L26 in my car at the minute is just to get her running. I have an L28ET to go into her when I find the best Turbo setup. Gaven & Ben have been giving me good advice on where to look and what are the best blocks ,heads ect. Go to the search function and type in (horsepower) should take you to the post. I can help you out with the radiator I have a 240Z of an auto not sure about the water pump? I'll have a look! As for the other looking into a turbo kits off a patrol a company in victory supply, need to find out from Ben if its compatible? Ben,s the man in the know about turbo's check out his Gallery. I'll have a look at your pic,s when they get approved it takes two or three days. I just got mine up!!

Hi ,Guys The Carbys in the pic are Brit SU,s they have the float camber at the bottom the 240Z carbys are better in my opinion. The 240 Carby's have the float camber to the side and the mixture nut at the bottom. Got a spare set of SU's (240) that need an overhaul have not gotten round to it yet. Gav's on the ball with the web sites thanks for point- ing out the search feature at the bottom of the post had'nt noticed it myself The engine in the picture is a L26 Spare. I have an L28 Turbo motor I am looking to put back in. looking for a suitable Manifold while I learn more about Turbo setups. You wouldn't happen to know adout Diahatsu's the wife's car just seized up on us this morning. Done a head gasket on one 12 years ago that was fun. Think I will have to borrow a Midgets hands for the weekend. Not much Room in the engine Bay! If you are ever looking for parts for your 260 I have good interior and allsorts of other parts. Pass them off Cheap or Swap? I live in the Port Adelaide Area. Att a picture of 240Z Carbys.

Hi , mellow Do not know a great deal on mods to the head but can piont you in right direction when I have more time I will look through some old post and send you the web page. I can help you out if you are putting the 240Z carbys on have info on setting them up your welcome to. Sammy1970:classic:

Thanks , Gavan From what you are saying I won't be buying the L20ET I was looking at it for the parts getting a (Good) spare motor would have justified the price. Think I need to learn more before I part with any money don;t you Hi ,Ben search continues had a look for nissan patrol the guys there say the L28ET only came out in a D. N54 seems to be the one I want with a p90 head. would'nt mind having a look at your setup need to do a lot more homework. Got a garage full of Z parts might be able to help you out in return.

After thought check out this! Sorry file was too big type in zgarage they have all the info on engine Mods.

Hi, The dome top early 240Z carbys are the better. The 260Z carbys with the flat top were set up with emmissions in mind and once their gone you might as well throw them away. Type in Ztherapy I think they would have the info on them. Exstractors ,cat flow ,Head work, but even with that I am told your looking at less than 200hp. Hope it helps!! :classic:

Hi ,Ben Had a look at the L20ET today and I am wondering what do I need to look out for when buying A Turbo? Its done 35000 Kms its been stated. How would I know if the turbos any good. The guys going to take $300 off if I take her without a warranty. Any advice would be great as I am looking to buy. What sort of deal is $1195 it has an auto gearbox?? Three injectors are missing Blow off valve and starter motor. Got a copy of pictures of it not to good though. Got my Gallery approved so you can check it out. All the Best ! Sammy1970

Hi,Guys Looking at a L200ET to buy as spare turbo motor and use turbo setup on my L28ET. Are the heads interchangable? I am pretty sure The manifolds are? Anyboby done the same! Any problems in doing this?? Sammy1970

Thanks, Guys For all the reply;s made up my mind to keep the turbo in My Zed. Lucky enough to score a good job so I will be looking around to get the best set-up I can get my Hands on. Ben do you Know anyone in our neck of the woods whos selling a complete turbo Kit or motor setup? There's an L200ET going for $1495 but I think thats a bit steep. What do you think? I have heard that the1985 Skyline came out with a L28ET have not seen one yet thats why I asking??? Going to try the Nissan patrol wreakers to see if I have any luck. The Zed is in the garage at the moment, petrol tank is off with the L26 in her when I get her up and running I'll take a drive down south. She;s had a lot of cash poured into her Turbo dash, Recaro Leather seats, Mags 265's on the back. custom wheel arches and a good paint job. Head Turner!! Thanks again for all the information so far been a big help!! My numbers 08 82484551 if you know of anyone selling a Kit our just gives a call. Thanks Guys :D :D :cross-eye

Hi, sjcurtis Unloaded pictures of my Zed and turbo engine just wondering how long its takes for them to be approved and put into the Gallery? I have an L26 in her but I want to put the L28 back when I lower the compression . Do not have any Knowlegde on turbos and I want this toy to play with all myself. So its looks like its back to the SU setup. hoping I can use the stronger turbo block to do a few minor mods on to get 200hp+ Exstractors, head and exhaust. Correct my if I am wrong L24 151hp, L26 160hp and L28 175hp? :ermm: Any advice anyone??

Hi, Ben I have uploaded some pictures of my Zed. Taken a few of the engine block of the L28ET can you tell me anything about it. Is it an orginal Turbo block? Or has it been built? N42 9402A is what is stamped on the block I know we do not have too many here in Aus as they only sold non turbo here. Imports and custom made I quess is all we have. I am planning to get her up and running with a few basic mods. Looking for around 200hp. ANY IDEAS. HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT TRIPPLE SU,S EXSTRACTORS HEAD WORK :beard:

Stunning you have every right to be proud of that Zed.
