WreckedJ30's Z31T ecu conversion
 

So today Wrecked cruised on down to my place & we converted his 280zxt to the Z31T ecu & MAF. The whole thing took wha... 3.5 hours, eh Gavin? In the mother f*cking freezing cold! That Z pulls pretty hard for stock boost. Not too shab!

PS... there is a man-hunt for Nismo619 as he has disappeared w/ Wrecked's money for a Z31T ecu... :075:

Sounds like fun, I just ordered my Z31 MAF, ECU, and 240sx TB last week. What kinda gains we looking at? Maybe a how-to? Problem areas?

yeah maybe even less, then that, it was freezing cold tho. Damn long ass drive home too, the man hunt begins. And i told you she's a beast for stock.:) Thanks again for the help...oh and the pictures look way better then in person huh!

how $$$ does he have of yours????

I never liked him, his spelling was horinbable. GET YOUR MONEY BACK!

Nice swap though, I wouldn't mind seeing some differences if it would be track times or a dyno.

You'll also need the VG30 crank angle sensor chopper wheel... just mentioning that since you didn't. I'm not sure on new hp after the swap... the Z31T was rated @ 200hp, but is a 3.0L engine as well. Maybe 10-15hp on a stock setup??? I did my swap when my AFM was crapping out, so I really felt a difference. I'll be dyno'ing in the spring, so we'll see then.


Not a prob homie... ya got a nice project car!


Wasn't it $35 Wrecked?

Lookin good Wrecked. How far away do you live from Nismo? Must be nice to have other Zdrivers that live within driving disatance.

45$ its not too bad, but still i thought i could trust a homie and get screwed for it. I live wayy too far from him, but not after i move back to cali. Sorry for taking so long but i have some drama to share. You no that bitch that screwed me over, nismo, and maybe a few from chat. Well there was a bon fire tonight and he was mad staring, so i said you got a prob. he said yeah, so i walked up and hit the bitch. He leaned over and i kneed him, he fell over and i took a step back awaiting something he did nothing, it was sick. On the bad side i got arrested, its gonna suck on probation...anyways on a good note, all my friends were there and are siding w/me...oh and i ripped out his earing and chucked it back at him...man it was sick. End of drama, and i'm leaving before christmas so i'm not gonna get shit...hahahahahha

Haha! You're crazy!

The man gets arrested, and still has time to chat on ZDriver... now that's dedication! :D

yeah everyone was like run, i was like pff, i'll stay and stare at the biznitch i just whooped on, he looked like he was gonna cry,:crybaby: beat on by a 17 year old. He's like 19. And i knee'd him, in the mouth..And yes very dedicated, and the cop that arrested me, was the same one that sold me the car, he was like that punk deserved it. I was all smiles today. Beat on a biznitch and did a ecu swap, and drove 200 miles..nice, for a days work.:098: :slywink: :043: :040: :082: i don't think theres a big enough smile to fit me.

Wait a second... You hit Nismo619??? Im a little confused. Either way that is sick! congradulations, I look at it this way if your gonna go through all the trouble of getting in a fight you mine as well win.:075:

naww, some foo, thats been talking shit since july, and that an X of mine is with, it felt good, enough drama, just thought you'll might want to no were i'm at if i go missing. Oh and back to the swap, any q's for me or nismo, the zx genius.

Well congradulations any ways.
Ohh and your only 17? Hmm I thought you were much older, I take it your still in high school?

way to go wrecked teach that fool a lesson...

yeah, this is my last week, then i'm leaving before they put me on probation. Yes he looked like he was crying it was the shit..Now any questions on this swap. Its fairly easy and even easier if you get nismo to do it....i'll be 18 in july. I speent like way to much on it, cause i had to buy the ecu twice. plus i bought the whole distributor, unstead of just a little aluminum wheel. The total swap costed 195, minus 45 if i ever get it back.:075:

you're a minor, you'll get away with that....

:) :( ??

hope you got it out of your system. Don't do that after you turn 18.

OH! and my twin brother did the Z31 swap for yOU!?! I'm sooo jealous...

hey wrecked you still gonna be around to receive those parts im sending you, there prolly leaving tomm.

for the chopping wheel, I read a few articles that said that using the 1982 disty would be fine... is this not true?

We could do an ecu swap for you @ the MSA show! :unibrow:

no its true, not the 81 cause it has the cas, or some crap. Shady, how long does shipping take? i'm staying for at least a week, gotta finish school, i'll leave as soon as the weather looks good after that. Nismo want ta kick it before i go, i gotta try out your beast. And 619 stopped by then disappeared before i came back, any one like to hunt.:armata_PDT_35:

You use the 82 or 83 ZX turbo dizzy with the Z31 chopper wheel.

Congrats on the swap. It's always nice to get rid of that POS AFM.

yeah it's way more responsive, lost the bulky wieght, and looks a 100x better. Plus it fixed my problem with the car dieing all the time. Now i don't have to worry as mush, uncept for the radiator hose nismo blew up..

Hehe... hopefully it wasn't my driving that caused the leak! Did you pinpoint it yet? I think you had narrowed it to the lower rad hose?

yeah our store up here sucks, he has to order it and what not, plus he's closed on weekends. oh and what a pain, putting on the power steering pulley, and now the belt doesn't fit, which really sucks. another 15$ waisted.

so what exactly is a Z31 chopper wheel? and do we need it on an 82 Turbo car doing the MAF/ECU swap
