OZ001 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 hi guys, im after a full set in working order for my 280zx series with the EFI engine i cant find these the last time i saw these was on ebay but i didnt have the time to bid cheers OZ001 Quote
Mr240z Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Your after triple dellortos for a 280z with a EFI engine ? What, are you going to put them in the rear hatch compartment (strange but true)LOL Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted December 17, 2008 Moderators Posted December 17, 2008 Just priced a set of three Dellorto's from a wrecker just around the corner from my work..$600. I used to find them for $50-100 some years ago. Reckons they are getting scarce now...too many Alfa's are rusting away and people snapping them up! Quote
luvemfast Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Your after triple dellortos for a 280z with a EFI engine ? Whats wrong with that? I have a set to put on my EFI L28 over ther chrissy break. I would assume it will give some more power, but mainly for the noise Won't get to drive it anytime soon though as its planned to do some paint aswell. Quote
stevo_gj Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Doesn't running Carbys and EFI required a really complicated conversion? Would be totally sweet to have the sound of triples though... Quote
modular9 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I think it is the legality issue that stevo_gj is alluding to. Almost 100 % sure that EFI spec cars/engines have to retain their pollution and other doodads to be legal. But that is probably a QLD law and not a VIC/NSW/WHEREVER law. Quote
Scoota G Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Just tryin to get me head around this, You want to replace the EFI with Dellortos? And i'm thinkin my life wouldn't be the same without hearing those 40MM Dellortos on my Z every day but it seems people are thinkin you want to run both. Can someone please explain how you can run two fuel delivery systems. Quote
Glen Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I think what he wants is to take off his EFI and bolt on some carby's. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted December 19, 2008 Moderators Posted December 19, 2008 I'm sure as Glen said that is what he wants to do. Those 280ZX efi intake manifolds don't breathe at all at anything above 5000 rpm. Unless you have a inlet manifold from a turbo 280ZX that have bigger plenums I wouldn't bother. Quote
luvemfast Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 ^^ What he said ^^ Really drops off at 5000rpm. Great for the road, not good enough for the track. Quote
stevo_gj Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Ahh I see! I have seen somewhere a picture of an EFI engine that actually had most of the Carbys still attached, it was complicated and the only purpose of it was to give it the sound of carbys with the benefits of EFI. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted December 20, 2008 Moderators Posted December 20, 2008 I remember when I first joined the NDSOC and at a MSCA event there was a club member with a quick 260Z that had a L28 with triple Solex carbs and on the manifold next to the head were six injectors. He was using the Solex carbies as throttle bodies when he ran the injection. Worked very well by the results! Quote
