Is there anyway I could get a cad file of that as well? I am pursuing my BS in Arch right now and would love to throw an accurate rep of the Z in my presentations.

yes that CR is about right. most modern turbo charged apps run a CR somewhere in the 8s. but they do that with modern fuel injection and intercooling. if you where to try and raise the CR of a stock 280ZX turbo into that range without intercooling or better fuel managment you will run into some problems. add an intercooler to the mix and you will be better off..but still limited to around 10psi (this is a very bad guess on my part. considering that all turbo motors will react differently depending on timing/load/temp/ICeff./fuel rating etc. take what i say with a grain of salt.) add progrmable FI, forged pistons, and a good FMIC. and a 8.8 ratio should be no problem. and then you have a major rebuild....and in that case..you might as well build a 3.1:ermm: :classic:
