Why would you bother with an L20ET?

Just bung in an L28E and associated turbo gear (yank ebay would be your friend for stuff like L28ET manifold and injectors, afm, ecu etc). Will end up about 1,000,000,000,000x better off than modding the L20. Simple maths, 40% more capacity is going to make a massive difference.

L28ET & L20ET exhaust manifolds are the same. If I was going into a rebuild like this again, I would be using an L24E block, bore it 1.0mm (.040) oversize, L20B pistons and go from there. The L28E conversion is a bit tricky and sometimes a pain in the ass, for the advantages you get.

Decide first what your going to do with the car before going crazy with the engine.

Cheers, D

keep an eye out for an L26, grab the crank and rods (basicly a stroker kit!)

find an L28e intake manifold (flows better than the L20et, simpler too)

find a L24e

( cheap as chips, find another wreck R30, series 1 has E88 head, better for turbo)

rebuilt VG30 turbo, pretty much the size matching is the hard part.

Kelford Cams in NZ have some good turbo grinds, like a 256 duration turbo grind, free shipping to Aus too.

Hose tail injectors, VL turbo are 270cc or so, L28et same, just harder to find.

KA24e Throttle body, in the Ti fwd Pintara, efi 2.4 navara, ford corsair ghia 2.4 (ita 60mm DIA)

a throttle body space is required to keep the stock linkages. im looking at converting to cable though

You is a bit too late Mr MAG's & some of your info is wrong.

L28et injectors are 285cc & FJ20et are 375cc, both hose tail connection.

And they eazy to find .................... just gotta know where to look lol

Cheers, D

    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
    • Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
