Nice to see a L series turbo most folks would swap a RB26 or RB25 turbo nice to see guys mess with L Series Turbo Or L series all motor builds especially those Loud ITBs
So sick Mike!. The turbo location is so weird to see on that side of the car haha but best part was your safety goggles, omg was not ready for that hahaha. Scared my cat laughing. Keen for it to be all back together!
Time to find a clutch sponsor mate 😂. That turbo kit has come up soo good can’t wait to have a look in person on Sunday. How did ya go finding someone to paint it?
I've been tuning l-series for a long time you definitely need to turn it up... 14 lb of boost or Less 20 to 22 degrees of ignition timing 18 to 20 degrees of ignition timing 17psi and up once you start getting over 21 22 lb of boost maybe go down there 15 16 degrees. The most I've ever gotten out of a non-turbo l28 was 323hp 354tq with a t04e T3 turbo. the combustion Chambers aren't that bad on the P-Series heads... if you're running an N series head yeah they're not that great.
@Kal-El Of Krypton Yeah you just adjust timing for the head your running. The end series cylinder heads will definitely make a much snappier L-series. But if you're after power p series will always make more Unless you drop s*** tons of money.
@arcanedefiance Yes you can. I've always had a couple of back up engines from the junkyard. I recommend head studs cometic head gasket T3 T4 Turbo Something you can control fuel and Ignition timing with and go to town. Click on my name and go to my TH-cam channel.... there's a couple hill climb videos of my car 71 240z. When I do any event I turn it all the way down. no boost controller... Boost is usually 12 to 14PSI all the way down. boost controller on is about 17-19.... high boost is 2 bar. Stock turbo block hx35. I built the head myself p90 cammed watermeth and a long long long list of other parts.
Don't bother trying to put a 225mm clutch in it, it simply won't hold the torque, even if its a button clutch (personal L28et experience). What you need is a patrol flywheel from a mq or mk patrol (L28) and a 240mm clutch from an rb20 or 25 push style.
Thanks so much! It’s a full 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a single muffler about half way down the exhaust. Not sure on the brand but it’s about half a meter long 😁 (the muffler)
Bash a set of iridium plugs in there so you aren't going to be taking turbos on and off. They will work even with the lower output spark side you have. Leave the gap at 0.8mm and you should have no probs. If i heard right you are gonna need BKR7EIX.
SO pumped on this car. It sounds INCREDIBLE in real life. I'll do a full drive video & review once the car's all back together.
please do as ive been waiting along time for this.
What are the specs on the exhaust setup?

Mike "it needs a clutch" Lake
Nice video mate, keen to see it pieced together!
Hahaha fml aye. Been procrastinating replacing clutches and now I need to replace them all 🤣
Awesome to see this car running so nicely. Can't wait for the next one!
Cheers hank! New clutch, retune & paint 🤘🏻
So sick Mike!. The turbo location is so weird to see on that side of the car haha but best part was your safety goggles, omg was not ready for that hahaha.
Scared my cat laughing. Keen for it to be all back together!
Awesome build! Nice and simple, conservative and beautiful 😍
love this build! keep up the good work mike
Thanks bro! Can’t wait to bang a clutch in her and go again
Sounds like it spools so quick. Nice one bro 💪🏽
Cheers bro. I’m over the moon with the noise this thing makes aye
Love it. I just bought a nice 82 280zx +2 for $500 and after this I want to keep the l28 and turbo it
This is crazy. Off of the top of my head I thought , what would be interesting? A 280z with an inline 6 turbo !!! Damn if I'm not the only one!!
Haha how good hey! It finally gets tuned next few weeks!!
You look like a scientist in that car love it brotha keep it up !!!!
Hahaha thank you bro!!
Bro really want to create an analog 600hp devil z
Slowly happening 🤑
Can't wait to check this car out on Sunday!
Sick video, love this series with the l28et
Cheers Colin! How good is the 280 aye.
@@itsmikelake brilliant, big project and good to see it's finally showing some fruit!!
You can take the engine fan off and put dual electric fans on the radiator. It will give you around 10 to 20 hp more with less drag on the engine.
Stock works perfectly fine, sometimes even better than electric.
The stock one actually work quite well on these cars
in person it will be brtual the sound mike great project
I love it ! 😍 I hope you guys going to rebuild the whole car
Of course! Thanks 😁
Devil Z !!!
Keen to see what number it puts down with a better clutch. Sounds so bloody good man!
Thanks bro. As am I! Just so happy that the tune itself went so smoothly. What a car
Time to find a clutch sponsor mate 😂. That turbo kit has come up soo good can’t wait to have a look in person on Sunday. How did ya go finding someone to paint it?
Haha yeah I need a bloody few now 😅. Still don’t have someone to paint it yet 🤨. Rattle can time? Hahaha
@@itsmikelake we will have to talk on Sunday but I have an idea about getting it painted. So just hold off on that rattle can till then 🤣👌

Here in Trinidad and Tobago, on a blow through setup, N42/F54, beat alot of RB's on the road. The N42 is underrated.
Can you really run that much boost on a stock engine?

Fidanza in the US make an ally 240mm flywheel for the L series. With a special ring for the crank, you can also use RB flywheels and clutches.
One step closer yew awesome bro.
Thank you bro! Not long to go now 😁
Mate what muffler do you have on there? Sounds great!😊
Thanks so much! It’s a full 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a single muffler about half way down the exhaust. Not sure on the brand but it’s about half a meter long 😁 (the muffler)
Woohoo 231hp... Niceeeeee 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
the wuhan war whistle sounds rad
Oofff my 175kw was a close guess. Keen to see what it makes without clutch slipping
Bang on basically! That’s at about 12psi. Pretty cool for such an old motor. I’d love to see 200kw out of her
can you imagine mike with a rb26?brutal🔥🔥
Why do you tempt me like this David 🤣
Jajaja I'm just saying that it has a wen chassis to put a rb 26 and it would be little seen mike
Have you got the link for the meet this weekend?
fb.me/e/1QFpKtpf9 😁
Best car ever!!!👌🏻🔰
Couldn’t agree more!!
First like lets go datto!
stock motor? how's it holding up?
Still runs beautifully! I’ll drop a new vid soon on this thing. These l28 are very strong 👊🏻

This is a fantastic suggestion and one I didn’t think of! Thanks for that Ben. 🙏🏻
sounds amazing
Cheers Will. Bloody stoked!
Look the size of this turbo hahahaha.. Awesome man ^^
Damn. DAMN. D A M N!
What ECM is compatible with 280zx (1981) automatic? Do you recommend rebuilding the ECM ?
If you can find someone to rebuild the ecm. Or get a stand-alone like a haltech
Yew sick car!
Cheers Jess. Wish I had a Jesse of my own to help out with the build 🤣
@@itsmikelake me too 😂😂
My dude how many psi did it boost. I'm loving it man I'm in the same boat but I'm using the turbo L28et turbo motor.
This is at 12psi boost 😁
raddd
what wheels???????
16x9.5 -52 reverse mesh wheels
Bit late to the party, but lovely video. Looking forward to the next one
Cheers Toto! Here’s hoping we can push 200kw on the next session 😈
My L28et pushed 520hp gr35r at 18psi boost
I can’t wait to retune mine! Was that on e85?
@@itsmikelake yeah e85... Now it's pushing 760hp at 22lbs boost 150shot (dry).

I have the same car . 280zx 1979
Beautiful car!!
second cuzzy
went myself from l28 turbo to LS.. No regrets
Ohhhh I said 175kw niceee
I bought the stock wheels off your car
No way! How are they going?
I feel so disappointed with all the money I put into my l28et and only getting 250ish hp out of it😔😔😔
What setup are you running?

In the anime they made 400 hp with a carburator and a turbo. Bro this car is weak compared to the Devil Z
