Z fananatic to break the ice

Hey I am new here. Just joined within the past 2 days. I am still trying to piece together parts for a turbo swap. I have 4 280zx's. I am converting my '82 n/a to an '81 turbo Bluestreak clone. If you want more info on that. Feel free to post here. And thanks for the welcome.

Bluestreak clone? Very cool. What modifications would you have in mind? Are you going Transformers style all the way?

Yeah pretty much all the way. Minus the robot mode. But it will have a Tranformers feel to it. As for my project...I am converting an n/a block to a turbo. Running with a Z31 ECU, MAF, and dizzy setup. Also a MSD ignition system. I am looking at 200-300 hp at the wheels. With 10-15 psi, and I will be satisfied.

Hey...welcome aboard!

Wouldn't it be easier to modify an existing turbo setup as opposed to converting? (not a turbo guy...no clue).

Yeah it would be easier. Except turbo Z's, and parts, are hard to find around here. For a good price. Or they are too far away. So I decided to piece together the parts I need. And make it another learning experience for me. I know it will be more costly. But getting parts here and there. It wont seem like it. Oh, and I am not really a turbo guy. I am starting to delve into it more. This will be my first turbo Z I have. After I am finished.
