 This is my 280Zx Turbo 2+2. I have been working on this car now for about 4yrs now. It strarted out as a non turbo 280zx. That was full of rust and didn't have much chop. Since then i have moded it a fair bit. Please have a look through the next few pages and see what i have been upto.

This is my engine. It is the L28 F54 Block with a P90 turbo head. The block has a 5 thou over bore and the head has been ported and polished and has larger stainless valves.

As you can see i have removed the stock fuel rail and put on a VL fuel rail insted. There is no "ECO Save the world" crap on the intake manifold.

There is a XF throttle body that has been moded for the stock TPS.

It has a custom 3 inch dump with a 1 inch external waste gate and a 3 inch mandral bent exhaust.

There is also a custom Sump with a 1 inch oil return line. (Sry for the quality)

Running the ruel is a 8:1 rising rate fuel regulator (i know its too big but its saves me from deatonating) With a SAARD Fuel regulator running at 50PSI fuel pressure.

There is no Air con and i have moded the Tappet cover breather and sump breather so that the turbo will suck from them.

On the other side i have put on a aftermarket oil cooler with a thermo fan. I have put in a 3 core radator with 2 Thermo fans.
