DieselBuddy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Diesel Maxima ( 1982,1983 ) Flywheel wanted, Diesel 810 ( 1981 ) Flywheel Wanted Want to Convert My 280ZX Turbo to Turbo Diesel with L28D - Diesel Maxima - Need Flywheel, Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder, etc. etc. 1 Link to comment
72240z Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Why can't you use the zxt flywheel mc/sc? I know yours is auto. Can I ask why the swap? You can't turbo the ld28 much without inventing a new way to deliver fuel and the stock ld28t's made less hp and just about the same tq(all be it at a lower rpm) then the l28et. 1 Link to comment

Turbo-ing the LD28 is not as easy as slipping a zx turbo exhaust manifold on. It's a daunting task. If you are selling the 280zx turbo motor what turbo/manifold are you using???? Link to comment

You can bolt it right on and run it the prob is you can't dial in more then like 5lbs on that injector pump. Thats why the stock ld28t's made no real power, stock pump limitations. Even other 6 cylinders with similar pumps flow only marginally more. You'd have to really completely fab up a new system to see more power. There is/was a nissan diesel forum I can't seem to find now (shut down?), where it was mulled over quite a bit. People also were into it for a while on hbz, I was one of them lol. It's so mesmerizing to do, turbo diesels just throw gobs of power when you turn the boost up, they love it. But when your so limited like with the ld to me it's just not viable. It's a great engine, but for like industrial usage, generator or fork lift. It has no biz in a car, cool as it may be imho. Link to comment

I'm after a Sports Car I can FIT into ( almost all sports cars are made for short people ), and reasonable economy, not acceleration. not planning on turning pump up, just planning on adding a turbo eventually and trying to get 40 - 45 mpg on the highway. also planning on adding an additional overdrive after I convert it to 5 speed manual. Thanks for the tip on Nissan Diesel Forums - just met the Owner / Moderator ( Al Savage ) of that site last night - purchased spare injector pump from him . . . . got a Diesel Maxima Wagon, Just purchased the 280ZX Turbo, want to do the TurboDiesel thing. I LIKE diesels better fuel economy and I like ZX's . . . . now if I had a inexpensive Cummins 5.9 . . . THAT would be really cool . . . . Has anybody seen the writeup in one of the diesel mag's about a Duramax Chevy - Malibu from the early 70's ? Cool . . . .really cool, twin turboed, really really fast . . . . 1 Link to comment

Diesel Maxima uses different flywheel -- due to engine harmonics ( stresses ). Could use turbo flywheel for a bit, but eventually the stresses will cause the crank to crack . . . . . I like 5 speeds rather than automatics. . . . Link to comment
