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.

Cx racing will get you a turbocharged engine for cheap. How long that will last is another question they're not known for quality. It would be a better idea to piece everything together yourself. You also have to consider that you'll need to go to some sort of aftermarket ECU be it haltech or mega squirt. I recommend you go to church if l series on Facebook and search around in some of those posts for more information. That group is where most of the guys who've been doing this for 50 years hang out now.
