Yes. Installing a bigger turbo is somewhat of a complicated job, but is very possiable and practical for your 280zx. The most important thing to remember is your stock manifold has a t-3 type flange, so the turbo you buy has to also be a t-3 type flange. Many companies make these and they are very common. Id recommend a t3/t4 hybrid such as a Garrett TO4E. When you do this job its important to remember a few things. Your stock 280zx doesnt have a intercooler, it will be a good idea to make yourself a custom intercooler set up. Also you don't have a mass air-flow sensor in that car, you only have a air-flow sensor, so the sensor will measure "X" amount of air comming in and the computer will then give the engine "X" amount of fuel to match, this means you cannot run a bov vented to the atmosphere you must run a re-circulated bov and recirculate the air back to the intake of the turbo behind the afm. finally the last important thing to remember is this is all a custom job and you have to be prepaird to overcome some unforseen issues with this project. i suggest you do some serious internet research before you start this project, there are many sites with helpfule guides to do exactly this project, use them and you shouldnet have a problem.

No, not in 1980. Nissan first offered a factory turbo as an option on the 280ZX in 1981. It was available that year only with an automatic and a 2 passenger car. In 1982-83 the turbo could be purchased with 5-speed manual, auto, and in either 2 or 4 passenger versions. The L28 turbo engine can be installed in the older model Z-cars though.
