Hi all. The car in terms of $$ ... hard to say even for me. I just ordered stuff as needed. Figure a whole entire SR swap w/ VSPL front mount, AFC, AVCR, Walbro 255, Intake, 300ZX MAFS, a little wiring work , paint job, assembly time !! Bumpin... The car is a 1971 240Z which was carberauted !! No ECU even in this car.. ever. No wiring harness ... ever. The first ones to use injection were 280Z's in the early 80's. You could get a 280Z in a Turbo.

btw stock motor was i-6 2.4 L of course with dual mikunis. 140 HP 132 Tq if i remember correctly. Here is the kicker... the original 240Z had a 160 MPH speedo !!.. Later years went down to 85 to 120. Give a 240Z enough road and proper tune it would get going very fast eventually.

I posted the pictures of the car over on TwinTurbo.Net and it has garnered quite a bit of praise. Feel free to check it out @ SR Powered 240Z on TTNet

Congrats again.

 

Beautiful car, I'd love to see a race between that car once its all tuned out, and Darius's 240z for those of you who don't know Darius's car, it was made well known by a video circulating the internet here's a few pics:

 

first turbo model was in 1981 280zx

origional 240z was L24 which had dual SU carbs, not mikunis

 

Ya.. but a stock SR with the parts that are on it makes 260-270 foot pounds of torque .... Not bad... for a 2.0L

yeah the SR also cuts the weight down a lot off of the L28, and i'm willing to bet that a all stock L28 wont be making 539RWHP on a stock bottom end

 

saw it at sonic, that thing is sick, good job man.
