Datsun Parts Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have a 1981 bone stock 280ZX turbo. Its time to upgrade and replace the turbocharger. I was looking at the godspeed brand on ebay? Anyone have thoughts about those? Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just remember on turbos you get what you pay for, Id rather get a good used garret then a cheap ebay turbo Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Look on craigslist and see what you get. From time to time I see the occasional used Garrett or Z31 turbo for $20-50 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 1. ebay turbos are shit. 2. you can use a Z31 T3 and swap the exhaust housings and itl bolt in to all the stock ZX stuff. 3. rebuild. 3. T3/T4. slapping a bigger turbo in means new downpipe and wastegate Quote Link to comment
hughdogz Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Also, if you go to a bigger turbo, the 280 cc/minute stock turbo injectors aren't going to cut it. If you crank up the fuel pressure, it is non-linear flow so it will be very difficult to get right. The engine management system will most likely have to be upgraded. Quote Link to comment
