F.I conversion of L26

[Joshua]

Hello all, 

I have been looking into F.I converting my L26, I want to keep this engine cause of previous work done to it and want the ease if a F.I system.

How difficult is it to convert a e88 head to support a L28 supported efi system i.e. Plenum or a stock L28e intake manifold.

Or would it be easier and cost efficient to install a ITB style system.

Thanks in advance.

I personally wouldn't bother with the 280zx stuff today, unless you get it all cheap and know it's working well? It's a bit ugly in the bay, but simple to repair and fix. But uses an old style AFM flap and very crude ECU etc..

I'd look at what Jenvey have to offer in terms of their ITBs.

Then I'd look at getting OneSix electronic cas kit.

Then you'll need to decide if you want coil on plug set up?

All the other sensors / wiring loom etc..

Hi All

          I have fitted a 280ZX inlet EFI manifold  , and then used a Haltech 1000  with TPS, manifold vacuum, air temp and water temp. Also added a idle bypass air valve with stepping motor. All onto a L28 with a N42 head, so port injection ( 6 by 188cc injectors)    Also used a Toyota ignitor with a inductor pickup in the distributer.  Its fitted to a 1978 260Z 2+2

Took a bit of time to set up the map in the Haltech as they didn,t have a basemap to suit .   Seems to run fine  , fitted OK and all bits fitted on standard inlet manifold. 

As with most aftermarket ECU,s   it takes a lot of time to fine tune . A bit of dyno time was required to setup.
