    L28&l20 Turbo Motors

    in Classics (1953-1988)

    Posted · Edited by old dude

    Estimated or if known RWHP of each engine and what car they were in?

    The L20et is out of a HR30 gt RWHP not much factory 144 this has bigger injectors

    bigger turbo and split dump pipe so probably a bit more.Good thing its all original

    and in excellent running order also the ECU will go with it along with all the Factory

    Turbo stuff.

    The L28et came out of a 280zx so all factory turbo stuff except injectors turbo dump

    ECU new clutch ass might even throw in the same side inlets front mount and piping

    Clutch Turbo head have only done a few hrs work this also was in the HR30 after the L20

    but like i said I'm going a total different way and what ever i get for it all will be

    put to that.As to RWHP 250+ maybe not really interest in figures as there not big enough

    to talk about but plenty more than the L20 and when it boosts it's fun.

    Ld28 Crank To Make 3.1ltr

    in Classics (1953-1988)

    When I went down this path a couple of years ago, I found them for sale in NZ for as little as AU$120.00, but by the time it got to Australia it was over AU$1000.00 because it's heavier than 20kg and therefore NO post shop in NZ will accept it, no matter what the NZ Post web site says, the shops/outlets WILL NOT ACCEPT IT.

    So! you have an alternative, ship it by AIR or SEA?

    Air, it's got customs duty, insurance, minimum weight, terminal charges etc etc etc and as I said it's over AU$1000.00 by the time it gets here.

    Sea, same sort of deal because you get charged a minimum of 1cu mtr in the container.

    Scott, there are much easier ways of getting the torque & power this L31 can produce.

    For starters, if your going to turbo it, you need an N42 block, not F54 as is perceived. You have to take this block 3.0mm o/size to 89mm and the F54 bores become far to thin and become porous, allowing coolant and oil to seep through the bore walls when boosted with as little as the factory 8psi.

    I recon I'm going to get 500~600Nm torque from my 2818 motor (plus 1.0mm o/size to 87mm) and 200+ Killer Wasps at the wheels on less than 10psi.

    Why would you want more than this?

    Make it handle and stop and you have a potential GTR killer in a classic R30. In my opinion, the dollars are better spent on handling options, brakes & tyres to get it to the ground.

    Cheers, D

    Thanks D

    So much to learn about these old girls so the L31 set up would be saver with triples rather than turbo charged other than doing what MAG86

    mentioned,sleaving it not really worth it as you can get some good Hp other ways ARGHHHH what to do.

    O'k back to the drawing board.

    Front end ? what are my choices in struts D R's would be compatible are 31's, s13.s? knowing know this is not going to be anything other than a club

    car and $$$ no issues i really need to be pointed in the right directions weather i have to get parts from Japan,America i want to do it properly the 1st

    any way thanks for all the info and keep it coming as i do want to build this into something with all the boxes ticked,

    Scott,

    You PM'd me on this subject and as yet dont have the time to answer you.

    If your not in a busting rush to do this, let me get back from Canberra in a week and I'll discuss it detail.

    Bottom line is "IT ISN'T GOING TO BE CHEAP" and there is far better ways of going about it than building an L31. For starters, the LD28 crank is going to set you back a grand, plus machining. Forget about turbo unless your mad keen on splitting the block.

    Cheers, D

    Hey D

    No drama's when you have time and I know the Bottom line is been there plenty but it's tax time hahahah and i gotta spend.

    Wouldn't be worth it if it was cheap don't expect it to be gotta be cheaper than 600+hp nascar engined sports sedan hey,enough

    bragging and i know your not a 4door nut but someone has to be.Pm me when you have time and take it from there.

    There is much info on this topic, bottom line is that they go great as N/A (with tripples)

    but once you put a turbo on it reliability goes out the window due to the bore thickness being reduced so much.

    If you REALLY wanted to boost it you would need to sleeve the bores (meaning EXPENSIVE AS!)

    there is a siamesed f54, and a non-siamesed f54, cant rememember which is better!

    If your looking at doing this with the HR30, I'd suggest a L28 with some very decent add-ons. will get you over the 200rwkW mark if done correctly.

    Head combination and camshaft is the key, as well as matching the turbo to the engine (not the other way round)

    Keep an eye out for Adaptronic ECU, oz built and owned and is extremely good.

    Contact Stewart Wilkins in sydneyor Randy at Nissco in Bayswater/Vic they know who does what

    Thanks mmate

    Do have a F54 block and N42 head also have been buying some other goodies i have a couple of mates in NZ and there's plenty of bits over there

    just getting it here adds a little cost but our dollars better over theirs and a good mate there is in the Freight industry he gets it all collected through

    work or he grabs it for me if not far then he'll get it shipped over here for me for mates rates as best he can.

    And adds on and internals will be quality parts for sure you can count on that.

    The cars in the shed in bits now so will start pics on the rebuild & Resto when time permits but will be a good one.

    Dr30 And R31 Skyline Rear End Compatability?

    in Classics (1953-1988)

    Posted

    Hey Crew,

    Can any one tell me if both the DR30 and the R31 came with an R200 Diff and compatible CV joints and axcels?

    I know the DR30 had the R200LSD and 6 bolt CVs... but did the R31 have the same set up?

    Im in need of a few more R200's and matching complete CV set ups, outter flange is also a must.

    Cheers

    R31's have none IRS Borg warners
