Turbo motor build. HELPPPP

I have a notebook under my bed filled with sketches and drawings and plans for my ultimate Z.

A turbo motor (L28ET) are in the plans, and I was wondering what all I need to do to the motor to get a solid 300+hp out of it, cause I want a little powerhouse

Any help, suggestions, tips are welcome.

List any parts/bore/stuff you think I would need to include in my build, not to mention the rear end and transmission to handle it.

lol its funny cause thats the search function


honestly you can get 300hp by just getting a t3/t4 and new fuel management setup and an IC setup. 300hp is a cake walk with an L motor. going for more is when you need to start doing things.

i just assume if i correctly spell **** or other words i would get auto censored, but thats coming from a guy that likes bumper guards and probably thinks that the stock color on my 79 caprice looked good(two tone puke green/ avocato green)
ever go to the video store on the release date of a game to pick it up??? not me it gets shipped to my door ahead of time followed by paychecks to play it, u can bash me for nerd gamer, snw is the guy at napa, im the guy was sponsored by microsoft and bungie and now runs glitches on xbox.
no hard feelings to each his own

So 300hp on L28ET? Bungie, Halo, games? Napa? Abbreviations?

MICROSOFT! Well if you had Microsoft sponsoring your build, you'd be pretty unlimited in what you could pull from the L28ET, hell they could have a whole custom 24-30 valve DOHC head probably built, along with a special intake, boring out the motor, better turbo, a custom turbo manifold design etc.

To the OP, easiest way to 300hp: T3/T4 turbo with at least a Stage III wheel, Z31 ecu swap with either Live Edit, Nistune or JWT tune, Walbro fuel pump, I/C, boost controller, 3" exhaust, and a wideband O2 to keep tabs.

What about bigger injectors? With this info I'm already on the way to 300hp then. Z31 ECU Swap, ordered Nistune, gonna get a wideband soon. I'm about to get my self an intercooler as well.

Haha yeah, bigger injectors are a must. I was assuming the OP wanted 300 at the flywheel, which is doable on the stock injectors, except you'll be running the **** outta them. 370cc at a minimum is what I'd recommend to keep duty cycles down if you want 300whp. JWT specifies 440s which is what I'm going to be using in about a month, or whenever my ARP head studs arrive so I can get to work on this stupid car.
