You Can Use A Blow Through Turbo Instead Of The Conventional Draw Through Style.

Thanks
I have a 74 260z and a 83 280z turbo engine. I am going to do a performance restoration on the 260z and rebuild the 280z motor into a monster turbo engine. I really did'nt know anything about a carb turbo but it was an ideal somebody suggested. I am going to rebuild the L-28 engine and find a donor 280z or another Z to put the engine but I may go with the 280z body. If anybody have any suggestions shoot them my way

So does that mean you are dropping the L28ET (turbo engine) into the 260z? That's what most people do & it works out very well... no need to turbocharge a carb'd engine if you have the complete FI turbo engine.
