[mr30_2.4e]

Hi all.. was wondering what everyone thought bout puting a turbo in a clean mr30 Sadan that i recently pick up. it has a rebuilt L24E, 5speed and IRS. To turbo i was thinking of finding a L20ET menifold and ecu do they bolt straight onto the L24E if so do i still use the L24e injectores and fuel rail. Also how hard is it to upgrade my motor to a Nissan RB30ET my mate is selling a worked one out of a VL Calais.. what would be involved in fitting it in the skyline. Also anyone with L20et parts they wanna get rid of give me a bell on [email protected]

Thanks for the help

Luke,

I have one of the hatchback versions. I also investigated just grabbing the turbo gear of an L20ET and whacking it on the side of the L24. However, it was suggested it would probably ping its brains out since the combustion chambers weren't designed to operate in a boost situation.

But then, if you installed aftermarket ECU, it would obviously possible to tune it to suit.

I happen to have available a L20ET, that I ran in a 240Z for a while. It has since been modified with a RB20DET BB-centre turbo, as well as still having the gear to hook up a Wolf 3D ECU. Also has been modified to use a small intercooler.

As for the VL motor, I am lead to believe that basically all that needs to be done to install any RB-series engine into the R30 is to get hold of the R31 X-member, then the engine will drop straight in. Then of course, you need the RB gearbox, and the RB drive shaft.

I think it's because of the design / shape of the combustion chambers. Just what I was told, but the last thing I need is an engine that pings.

Probably 100k on it, but the L-series engines I have found to be almost bulletproof, not like the RB-series.

I replied to you "Wanted to Buy" with a price. That would include an intercooler, and the RB-series dump pipe. The engine is set up to run off a Wolf 3D - that is available also, say $300 for ECU + loom.

I'm in Melbourne.

How much 4 the compleat engine wiring loom and ecu?? im on the sunshine coast queensland donno how i would go geting it here. Also would it bolt straight into my mr30 and 5 speed box?

Let me ask some people about freighting it up there. I can probably do that price as a "delivered to your door" price, depending on the freight cost.

It should simply drop straight in and bolt up to your gearbox (as willl just about any L-series engine).

I asked around and $350 for a compleat L20et with that many km's seems to be the going price... a mate scored one for 200 bucks with some barganin from the wreakers that had just been taken out of a dr30 or hr30 or something he was saying

can i ask how much is your mate looking to sell the rb30et for?

the L24et should be good to run stock boost 6-8psi without problems, some tuning time will help, are you getting the wolf ecu? intercooler is a must to run higher boost plus nothing but BP ultimate too. engine will live a bit longer.

i was either going to get a l20et motor wolf 3d and has been setup for a intercooler or just get my hands on a l20et menifold turbo and ecu would i use the ecu from the l20et or l24e

would my l24e with that l20et turbo setup running 8psi be reliable and last

also what power increses can i expect

my mate had a vl calais that he wrote off and is selling the motor and box for round $500 i think i will make sure and post a msg
