Hi guys,

RB25DET throttle body a good choice for the L24E? Also can anyone estimate the bhp(at the flywheel) that these mods will give an L24E?

-72 degree regrind camshaft from SW motorsport

-RB25DET throttle body

-Exhaust (2.5 inch piping i think)

-K&N panel filter

-Maybe a set of extractors

-Also thinking about using variable resistors to modify the afm(has anyone done this before?)

I'm looking for about 160hp so I have to try and gain about 30hp up from stock. I have turbo plans for the future but just looking at N/A mods for the moment.

Yeah, gonna try and install mods that will work well with the turbo as I'm planning to turbo the L24E rather than do an engine transplant............

Why?? Because there are heaps of RB20DETs around and L24ETs are a lot fewer :)

i just bought an rb20 s13 silvia and believe me mate, it's a monster of an engine! bang for your buck and parts availability are only an advantage to you man.

Hi,

FYI. This looks similar to what you're trying to do:

There's a reason for that Later technology,more power,cheaper and less hassles.

If you still want to stick with the old motor maybe try to find an old L20ET and graft the bits on

Cheers

The engine management is the main restriction mate.

Even if you do all that stuff hardly any real gain will be had unless there is an after market copgyback like a microtec MT4 or full ECU replacement.

If youre keen enough the RB30 gear can be used, from an R31 Skyline, it is re-mappable via nistune. lotsa mucking about though

another idea is the Delco 808 setup that runs the Holden Camira, dont laugh it is HEAPS better than the Bosch shit...

Requires heaps of fiddling and research mate....

cheapest bang for buck is bolt the turbo gear on, get a copgyback ecu, all can be done for under $1000

If i could start over, I would likely convert to RB30e very cheao and easy to work on, and can boost real good too.

Use the search feature a bit more too

What's everyone's opinion on the cam itself? Good move or no point(I'm installing it on Saturday)? I was told that the stock setup chokes the L24E pretty bad and the cam would fix that significantly(like about 15-20hp worth N/A); but I would REALLY notice the advantages when the motor is running boost.......

And rear R31 disk brakes. Also a good move?(they are going on in the next fortnight hopefully)

Sorry MAG86, I am an idiot I just tried a few alternative keywords in my search and found the answer to about 3 other questions I had. Sorry to make you repeat yourself. I am going to investigate remapping the delco further.........will let you know how it goes :happy:

Are you fitting new/re-ground rocker arms and the right size lash pads? If not, you're wasting your time and may destroy the cam in short order.

I suggest that you have a read of the L series 'bible' available here or here or here. And take it from there.

:happy:

Cams are very different from N/A to Boosted

A Turbo cam will make youre N/A run like shit, especially if youre useing the factory ECU.

Save the money. Get the turbo first!!!

If youre careful a turbo setup can be run on low boost, with the factory ECU

That would be the way to go first, then save over time for the ECU p1ggyback. Microtech MT4 can be found for $200 or so

If youre after turbo gear, search ebay, this forum, Ozdat, wreckers, engine importers.

The L28et stuff from the 280zx turbo will bolt STRAIGHT ON

Since you guys are talking about part,

I'm after another L28ET turbo manifold, the 2 on ebay will not ship internationally.

If you after some info on a turbo L24e build, this is what I did on my 240K

I started with just a EFI transplant, then my turbo install

I got 2 turbo manifolds here, one for me, one for sale! $300 and its yours.

Infact got a complete MR30 Hatch im wrecking (another one) if you want me to keep anything off that let me know, its getting FULLY STRIPPED tomorrow, ready to take the carcass to the crusher!

If you have the fuel pump, the fuse box (including the main plugs and foot or two of the wiring to it), the injector coil pack , and the engine efi wiring (will strip this down to what I need),

if the efi harness does not have the plug that goes to the coil pack, i'll need that as well, but I'm sure it does.

$300 for the turbo manifold is a bit more than I'm willing to pay (the one I got from the US was about $150 to my door), so I'll just keep an eye out for another one to show up on eBay.

From hanging out on "Hybrid Z" http://forums.hybridz.org/

I came across a post talking about a N/A cam that works very well on a turbo engine, the cams is the "A" type, look on the end of the cam for the stamp (other end from the timing sprocket).

this is what I'm running on my L24 turbo engine (mine L24 is a standard N/A engine, out of a MR30, L24e)

    • 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.
