Hello all, new starter here,

I'm after a nice black zx to do an engine transplant in.

I have the engine but decided to scrap the car (Granada), and put engine and box into something decent!

After a lot of searching I'm still a bit confused as to what the differences between turbo and non turbo are. I ask cos there's a nice non turbo for sale near me at the mo.

What would I need to change to get the running gear up to turbo spec?

 

I read there are some bodywork differences too, are these cosmetic or structural?

 

Any idea how much power (torque) the turbo axle will take. My engine has a supercharger fitted and kicks out around 500hp.

Any advice gratefully recieved.

Manta V8 - has a 6ltr chevy small block. all sorted and running.

John Dixon is doing a 5ltr transplant.

 

have a chat with them, they will point you in the right direct bud

The best people to speak to our John Dixon, Friday and Mantav8. They are all on here and have done V8 conversions are in the process of doing so, to there zed's.

 

The Non-turbo rear

 

Exterior differences were bumper design only. The NA has a different rear subframe, becuase it does'nt have the HICAS (rear wheel steering). Suspension spring and anti-roll bar rates are lower, but I would imagine you'll be upgrading them anyway,

 

No worries with the TT drivetrain until your nearly double that power ;), there are many TT zed's running around with 500+ here and in the states.

You called? :D -if you need owt' I can help with bud,give us a shout!

P.S-give me your engine! :o

hehehe, the layout look sooooo simple in the 600zx....

i love it!

mantav8, actually I am thinking of getting rid of the engine and going to Chevy LS1.

It's a ZZ4 block with eagle stroker internals and 3 pistons with holes in!!

Trick flow heads, big wing sump,edelbrock cam, roller tipped rockers etc.

Only got about 2000 miles on it. Looking for about £1500 for it.

PS is that you from the v8 forum?
