I have an 82 Nissan 280zx L28ET and on a cold day it can run 14lbs boost and can run 12lbs boost at any time without any problem. I embarrassed, didn't' beat, but embarrassed a new Corvette C5 (I would have been embarrassed to have an old 280 pace my $60,000 car). The injectors are stock. I have made other external modification (if you are interested drop me a line) If you want to improve the performance of the efi, contact Wolf, they make boards for your car that greatly improve performance. I don't use one myself as the cost is about $500. The point I am making is that you will probably spend a lot of money and time that would not even reach the excellence of the tuned stock system. >Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 16:24:44 -0600 >From: "Clint S." >Subject: Accel DFI hookup > >I own an 81 Nissan 280zx L28ET turbo motor inline 6 . >I am buying a used Accel DFI system that was hooked up to a chev V8 .
