Sure is Harry, O S GIKEN made the head and last I heard never to be again. Paul Newman and Bob Sharp had them in their 280ZX Turbos the year (I think 83) when Paul Newman won the US Sports Car title in an S130 280ZX turbo.

hybridz.og has had extensive postings and communication about the DOHC L6 concept

there is one fella who got 3x KA24de (2.4 litre nissan bluebird) heads, chopped em up, and bolted together etc. $15,000 doesnt seem to go far in this concept either. it isnt even running yet!

for the same price you could get a single cam L6 to produce more power in the first place.

it all comes to dollars....

I think theres alot of people out there who would sell an arm or 2 to get ahold of one of those OS giken twin cam heads.

Nissan also produced a twin cam head of their own for the L series 4 cylinder. They called it the "LZ"

Theres a bit of info on it here datrats

check this car out too -

240Z with TC24 B1 head(OS GIKEN)

Woulda loved one of them for my c210 :blush:

^^ that's a 4 cylinder DOHC. You can also use a Z18 DOHC head to make an L20 into a DOHC. L28's are 6 Cylinder

nismo makes a DOHC head too for the L28 from what I've read.

I was actually reading an article this morning in a japanese mag about some guy's Z with an LD28 (converted to petrol) and DOHC head... I'll see if I can scan the article.

The F3 or Formula Pacific head is expensive and very extreme cam wise for anything on the street .

A couple of years ago I found a thread on some US board about converting a KA24DE head to an L series 4 . At least the bore centres are right and I think the stud holes may be close or same . The problems from memory were always going to be the cam drive chain and timing cover . I guess with enough money you'd get it to work but then again a de stroked KA DE short with longer rods may be cheaper and easier if you wanted to rev it . Can buy turbo exhaust manifolds and better cams/springs over there from JWT and probably others nowdays . Pretty sure KA and SR use the same bellhousing pattern as well .

Good to see the big fella back , cheers Adrian .

  • 1 year later...
i want someone to build a rb30/26 with 13:1 comp and huge cams for some 400hp+ na power
Late posting to this thread but I know that has been done here in NZ in a 240z race car - it runs 50mm DCOE Throttle Bodies large cam and is making around 380hp in na power. Edited by nzeder

Ummm Z18 is a single cam head, and the conversion is Z18 head on an L20b block to make an Z20ET using the stronger L series bottom end over the shitty Z20/24. And yes there was a KA24DE head conversion done by a dood over on Ozdat which was also turbo'd, BUT, it took him a lot of time and farking around and really didn't produce any significant numbers performance wise. Oh and I've seen video of that OS L4 head in action and all I can say is OMFG 8)

Yes there was an os giken twin cam for the L6, but none of the pictures in this thread are of one. The youtube link and the pictures are of the guy from hybrid z that used KA24 heads on a L28.

Here is what the TC-24 B1 looked like (The TG in the advert is a mis-print, is is TC).

That doesn't ring any bells with me. Are you sure you're not getting confused with the x-flow 'LY' head that was run as the first Nissan EFI rally as the LY25 in a Z?

Here's a photo of a TT TC24-headed engine (from a long time ago...)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
