How many wheel HP does a turbo L28 have?
Example: A completely stock turbo L28 is gonna produce about 180hp, but a COMPLETELY stock L38ET using megasquirt instead of the stock computer, with raise fuel pressure, and raised PSI from the turbo will be able to reach about 210 wheel HP (remember that the stock 180 I reffered to was crank, which would be about 155 or less wheel HP).
What’s the horsepower of a 78 280Z L28?
The current L28 in the Z actually runs pretty nice. The car has some exhaust problems ( I think – doesn’t sound great, fumes coming in under back hatch), and generally I’d say the car feels like it has more power than it can access. I know stock these things are listed at 175hp. The car came with some headers.
What kind of engine does a Datsun 280Z have?
The 1975-80 L28 motors put out a rated 135hp net while the 1981-83 L28 motors were 145 net. The little plate on the shock tower in the 1975-78 280Z’s engine compartment may say 170hp SAE but thats gross HP…a sneaky 1970s way of saying 135 net.

Can a n / a L28 be converted to a turbo?
Lots of wrecks and blown motors and as time goes on, it’s getting harder and harder to find a turbo motor. And even when you do, it could still be riddled with problems and was probably driven mighty hard in it’s lifetime. First point. IT CAN BE DONE.
