hows the turbo cooled on the turbo motors?

 

for a stock L28et its an oil cooled t3

 

Good ol' oil... never lets ya down... till it lets ya down.

 

Its letting me down.... and Skib let me down. I needs me some cooler oils!

 

you could always just take the turbo off, that would make your oil cooler

 

Iv got a perfectly sheered turbine shaft to prove it Ill take some pics today, Iv got the turbo in a box somewhere


Tell it to stop being such a *****! or do what I did and frankenstein yourself a 280zx T3 with a Z31 T3 then, blamo!
you now have an oil and water cooled turbo.

Ill trade you for your fairlady fender mirrors

 

lots of 2 series volvos have a pretty heavy duty oil coolers in them, check it out.
the intercooled ones have one HELL of a huge intercooler too and it comes out so easy....iss nice....

 

I do has an oil cooler now!!!
Stock 280ZX oil cooling system and an Rx-7 cooler. (not installed yet of course)

 

Yep... one is sitting in my garage waiting for the day to be installed in my 280zxt.

 

little rock AK. has mandrel bend on site. going to take the car over there for exhaust work, they charge per mandrel degree, per bend, one pipe fitted to car, taken off and made to fit your car.
gonna get them to fab up the intercooler piping for me.

Maybe I can mass produce them for you guys on zdriver, if there is an intrest.

I probably will get them to replcate jeffp's downpipe, possibly mass produce them, he ain't gotta paten...if there is an intrest. [witha slight difference]not the klunky knuckles, and sell them to you guys for a decent price....I believe that I can sell them,
for a whole lot less than I paid for mine. [ebay] I got ripped at 650. I talked to jeffp on phone...he laughed at me about buying it and he thought it was funny that I so much for what I wanted...
You know they could be built with out the klunky knuckle flanges his has...lol.

3" exhaust all the way. the link...http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/page11.html

cheers.kenny and Jim Bean.

 

you paid 650 for a DP?

 

and a lot of the other pieces that you see if you click the link...it is the best you can buy, right now.. If I can generate intrest, I believe that I can manufacture them for less. I got everything to the rear axle....gotta add a muffler and tipsl

this guy is so full of himself...lol

 

You know you can buy huge intercooler pipe kits on ebay for $100-$300 right? Many include couplers & proper t-clamps.

Yeah... I built my 2.5" mandrel downpipe for about $50... then had enough left over to make another & sold it on ebay for $35.



A 3" is overkill for a stock turbo.

Jeff P? Because he's a maniac and quite a skilled mechanic / engineer.

 

wait.... you paid 650, for a down pipe? correct?

 

^^^ lulz... we might get 3 pages out of this one....

 

Im just making sure Im reading right....


you paid... $650 american monies..... for a down pipe.

yes?

 

wow who the ****...

i've gotten quotes for less for a whole exhaust manifold for my subaru, 2 inlets one outlet into turbo one flex pipe (my added "customization")

last quote i got was $75 and that seemed a bit high but that was in Arlington Washington, to be expected, mabe i can get some meth head to hook me up something cheaper here in medford.....god i hate this place

 

How much are we talking about and what will come with it, whole system or just DP? I also do not need cats.

Did you have to mess with the floorboards for clearence issues? Will you make another, for real moniez of course?

Thanks,
Alex

 

You know MSA sells 2.5" DPs for $99 every day, right? Mine was $90 cuz I'm a badass.

 

I don't think those will fit the s130's, unless you cut some of the floor board. I wanted to buy one too, but I was told I would have to do some cutting/welding and it might get it the way of the petals.

 

^^^ It's just angled different. You'd need to cut the pipe, adjust the angle, and weld it back up.

 

If you get the MSA downpipe you may need to drill out the mounting stud holes larger. My pipe would not fit on the turbo until I drilled the holes larger.

Oh I also broke my original ZXT oil cooler. So I ended up buying a new one at summit, with fittings for stainless braided line, I also got M18x1.5 Male to Male adapters then 45* AN fittings to get rid of the big goffy banjo bolts and run the Stainless braided line. Expensive, but looks way better and was alot easier than trying to run those old massive pre-bent hoses. I stood in line for like an hour at Summit talking to these guys while the one guy told me about 80 times that I couldn't replace the old Banjo bolt. He apparently didn't understand what I was trying to do.

 

Skib - Are you running a heater in your car?

I'm not and have the "loop" plugged off on my F54.

Just wondering how you looped the turbo coolant into the system and where, I guess you could join it to the IAC or whatever if you are on a somewhat stock setup, but I got rid of everything I could have >_o

I've got an extra Z31 T3 that I don't know what to do with...

 

No heater in Austria?! Burrrr......

 

lawlz I'm not Austrian.

I'm from.... a suthuhn state in the You Ess Uhv Ay
