I'm planning on doing the same swap myself. I can tell you this much, you will definitely need a new ECU. You'll need the one out of a 280ZXT. You'll also need to swap all of the wiring harnesses that go with the Turbo engine. I'm not sure how much came with your turbo engine, but I'm pretty sure you'll need the fuel system for the Turbo as well, (injectors and such). That's what I've learned so far.

Hope that helps,
Steve

 

goto hybridz.org , check the 6 cyl. board and look for a post started by me, i am planning on doing the same swap and got alot of input from the guys there, they told me exactly what i need to do to put it in and get it going fast with alot of ponys.

If all you have is the engine and none of the other stuff like the harness, ecu, could start stuff, etc. and will have to buy it all then dump $1500 into the SDS system and all of your nightmares will go too. It is the simplest thing out there and all you need is the engine. They provide ecu, harness, sensors, and programer. I have one and it has been nothing but awsome! Get the air/fuel mixture meter too. You can go without it but for another $60 it is a god tool for program adjustments. The system comes preprogrammed and thier setup is conservative but still provides performance. the biggest change that i had to make was the fuel supply under boost. Go to sdsefi.com
Good luck,

Hi

Ihave a 76 280 that I performed the turbo swap to 2 years ago.I can tell
you that you will need the engine wire harness,ECU,distributor,power-
transistor/coil,air flow meter,injectors,and a fuel pump upgrade.
My setup with starion IC,Gredy(sp)boost controller and T3/T4 turbo
has repeatedly dynoed at 264 RWHP and 347ft lbs torque@15psi.
I have also done a conversion for a friend with the SDS distributorless
system.The car is a 73 240 with fuel cell,8an braided fuel lines,Paxton-
fuel pump,RC engineering 550 cc injectors,Schieder turbo cam,Nissan-
reman. crate motor(stock),mild port matching and smoothing,Tubonetics
T3/T04E turbo,Apexi IC with 2 1/2 inch mandrel pipeing,full 3 inch mandrel
exhaust w/Apexi N1 muffler,custom 3 inch down pipe,HKS metal headgasket,
HKS EVC 4 boost controller and alot of other goodies.It is fully street driveable!
It is still in the tuning process but has dynoed 320RWHP & 350+ft lbs at
14 psi.The car was running really rich on this run and only had about 4000-
miles on it.As long as it is properly tuned it should be able to handle
20 psi which would be quite a bit more hp.Vented front discs and rear discs,
LSD,CV axle conversion are all being planned out for this summer.
Anyways sorry I rambled on and hope you get your swap done.It so much
fun to surprise that Mustang,Camaro or even Vette owner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck,
Russell
