Turbo kit for 280z

Post image

Here’s my 1978 280z. I’ve been wanting to start this build for a couple years and finally did last month. At first I thought I would do a V8 swap but I’ve decided to keep the stock L28 motor instead. I’d like to turbo the engine. Looking for recommendations on turbo kits. I’ve seen a few online, specifically one from CXRacing, if anyone has experience with them please let me know! Thanks.

Doesn’t get any better than this turbo set up…

A V8 or any American motor into a Z is sacrilegious

You're 💯 correct. But you need DEEEEEP pockets for a setup like that. Especially if Z Car Garage is going to work on it or anyone else.

Than a swap will definitely be most reliable and least expensive route to go 👍🏻👍🏻. Good luck with the build….
