hey cats!
i am looking for a zx turbo engine , wiring harness, and cpu for a conversion of a 77 280z.
thanks for any help

 

If you're willing to do a little work on it, I have an '82 280ZX with a brand new turbo on it I'm trying to sell the engine out of for a chevy small block swap. Don't know what the trouble is yet cuz I can't get the oil pan off with the tools I have right now. I think it's a rod or bearing, though. Let me know.

 

that sounds interesting....have you given any thought as to how much you'd want for it?
ballpark? let me know.

 

I just dropped $700 into a new turbo, so I'd need at least that (plus a little for the engine that's coming with it ) and whatever it's gonna cost to ship, which we can discuss. I may be a ble to get some serious discounts on that through a friend.


Edit: that price is negotiable, since I did run the turbo for a week, so it's not new anymore. Just let me know what you think.

 

sorry it took me so long to reply......work and all that.....
so far the price sounds pretty good....i'll need about three weeks to get everything in order.......

 

Hey man, I found a guy that's going to give me a really good deal on a rebuilt motor, but he needs my old engine as a core. He needed to know by today, and I never got an email or a call or anything, so I went ahead and assumed you weren't interested and put a down payment on the new motor. Sorry, and good luck finding a suitable turbo motor.

 

that's cool...i hope your new engine kicks!
good luck
and thanks

 

hey. I have an '83 turbo motor I'm pulling out of my '82 ZX. My computer won't run it. I also have the computer for the motor, but no wiring harness (little differences). I have the turbo intake and I think parts of the exhaust. It is missing the turbo, however. I let my little brother have that to fix his '84 thunderbird (weird, it bolts right up.) Anyways, if you're interested, I might be persuaded to sell the whole setup for around $300 dollars. Give or take.
