Evans 280z front pully gear 36-1 tooth.dwg I made it out of 1018 steel used a CNC water jet to cut it. I know I was in need of some specs and I finally broke down and made my own and I want to share it with other people who need this. Everyone feel free to use it or modify it. Enjoy!!!

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. I bought a 77 280z with the stock l28. The guy I bought it from installed a megasquirt2 in the car. I got the car started and idling. Was wondering if anyone has a good map for the stock l28 NA for the 280z

Hello, my baby is having trouble idling and accelerating. I just recently installed MS2 in her so I could surpass the issues I was having with the electrics. However, the problems I was having before are almost the same as the problems now. A very rough idle and no acceleration in the rpm. I have replaced the coil, distributor, plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, ECU (to MS2), and the fuel regulator. I hooked the distributor up to my laptop and the board and spun it around with a drill and got rpm on the screen, so I think that works. The coil is working too because cranking it over unhooked give plenty of spark. I did a check on the fuel pressure after the fuel filter and got 37psi with the ignition on (the pump wont shut off when the car is on on, not start.. Maybe some feedback with this too please? I know it needs to be linked to the MSII board) while cranking it over I received 34-35psi so I ruled fuel pressure out... I know the plugs get spark because after the initial cranking the car will run for 30 seconds perfectly (from the CSV) then start to idle rough then die. That is, IF the car starts. Sometimes it just cranks over and doesn't start.. instead what happens is a big sneeze and puff of white smoke pours from the intake, along with some oil from the PCV system. Another thing that isn't up to shape is the tach, which doesn't work anymore... which I think should be hooked up to the negative side of the coil but has decided that it doesn't like the new coil or the new EFI system... I have many issues... Maybe an enthusiast who knows their way around these systems can lend a helpful hand! Thanks!

Hello, Me and my dad just recently installed a MSII V3.0 into a 280z and have been having trouble getting the car to run properly. It will idle rough, bog when revving, stall for no reason..etc.. We've done everything in TunerStudio to try and make the car run at least decent. But, rich or lean with extreme advance or retarded in spark makes no difference. So we've come to the conclusion that the original electrics on the car are the problem. The fuel pressure is at a solid 30psi and through numerous tests of the injectors, we know they all work no problem. Testing the connectors going to the injectors shows that they're all fine too. It all comes down to the ignition system. I've been going through the 280 EFI bible and looking through the trouble shooting part and so far I've come up empty handed. Doing some volt meter tests on the car show that the coil is now not getting any relative voltage at all... even though it is brand new... looking back through the electrics on the passenger side of the car where the sea of wires live, I know that connector C3 would hold the connection between the coil and wherever in the ignition it goes. The connector was fine and I tried to follow the connection back further but got lost so I need someone to tell me what I should look for to determine what's causing this issue. And if anyone knows what else might be causing the car to act so strange please leave a response. It was acting like this when the coil worked too. Thanks!
