Very successful weekend at the junkyard; I was able to pick up what looks to be a recently rebuilt 94 b230, 15g turbo, ford T5 transmission, wiring harness with ECU and EZK, alternator, and a 960 Throttle body. All that is left is the bell housing and LH 2.4 flywheel, and my swap is complete.
Total spent the swap comes up to about $400; which to the un-aware is cheaper than a twin cam KA without a tranny. boom.
Here are some pictures.
And yeah we went from having zero turbos to having 5; (R to L) 15g, 2 garret t3s, CT26, and a 13g.
-'till next time
Dope. Motor looks clean. Nice pick.

ReplyDeleteMy weekend car is a CTS-V. I track it. It's fun and performs better than a car this big should; I've added all kinds of performance crap, but I keep feeling it lacks something.
I've been looking at mid 80's-90's 911's, later model s2000 & miatas while reviewing big turbo kits, 350z's(too heavy), xkr's, cobra's, vettes, you name it... looking at all kinds of cars, but generally something more current or sophisticated or prestigious... whatever.
Saw an article on Jalopnik about a wicked 2jz 510 wagon; someone replied with a pic of your car (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4861237744_bae6b4c118_z.jpg). That was it for me.
I had a 260z project in high school in the late 80's, early 90's. One rusty can w/ a hotshit drivetrain and another with a perfect shell. I didn't have the imagination, technical knowledge or funds to do anything with it. I do now and thanks to your build blog I'm going Datsun. Selling the V and buying a trailer and something to tow it. The new car will be 80% track, 20% hooligan. THANKS!
I am flirting with simply buying this car, (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-Datsun-240Z-2-8L-Turbo-2077lbs-406RWHP-NO-RESERVE-/120619421269?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1c157a4e55#ht_1299wt_1162), but I really want to do the build as inspired (in part) by you.
Thank you sir!
