Lurch’s ‘Early Girl’ 240Z!

[Cozza]

I'm most excited to see how he fettles all those 4 carbs onto an L6.

[Sirpent]

A quiet but progressive build..........

 

No wonder, it has a

 

"Rust Whisperer'"

a "L Series Whisperer'

and a 'Mikuni Whisperer'

 

all working on it.

Lurch, you mentioned in your early girl thread, that the car had a 280ZX injection manifold  and was controlled by a Wolf V4 ECU. Looks like it had a 45mm throttle body also(mentioned above) 

Do you remember what injectors were used? And what was the throttle body from?

 

I remember seeing a street reg rally car many years ago with a similar set up.

280ZX injection manifold and std injectors, a larger Ford throttle body(can't remember what model or size) and an Autronics ECU.

 

Got to drive it a few times on bitumen and I have to say it went really well, very driveable on the street with a shitload of go when needed.

 

It had a 2.9 litre bottom end and extensive port work to the head.

The Ford throttle  body to use back in the day was the XF IIRC.

The 280ZX manifold had an adaptor plate welded to the front of it to take a 60mm Ford XF throttle body.

Injectors were - IIRC - Bosch V8 Mercedes items.

 

The 280ZX manifold isn't a nice item as it's designed for economy & torque.

Small runner length & a tiny plenum.

 

I got rid of it as soon as I could afford to
