Need help with 280zx motor

I have a 79 280zx non turbo and i was wondering if i could buy the l28et and put it in.
Are the motor mounts the same?
and how much potential does a turbos 280zx motor have?

there are tons of threads and write-ups on this site. read them.

in fact, this one is right at the top of the forum you started this thread in. no search needed

Geeeez E!

You used the energy to post 3 times to the guy about searching... You could have at least answered his question while you were schooling him. Cranky old bastard.


Yes, the mounts are the same.

Yes, "SEARCH" is your friend.

yes the mounts are the same if u do the turbo swap u will need a good running turbo engine make sure to get the ecu and all the wire harness from the ecu to the engine " do not cut any wire for short cuts " ok install is pretty eazy if u have a cheery picker.

the turbo motor is better for hp and tq. u can mod the turbo motor with a few eazy mods to get much more HP than all the bolt ons u can buy for a NA motor. I personally have 2 280zxt's one 1982 daily drive and 83 my baby to be born soon. !@ engine rebuild in process.
