I have a L28 efi and was thinking of trying to install a RB30e ecu so i can get a nistune.

Has anyone done such a thing? i.e. RB30e loom and ecu with L28 EFI manifold.

With this i was thinking of going turbo which brngs me to my next question - what to do on the distributor front. Since it would have RB30e ecu and loom was thinking RB30e afm and somehow getting the RB30e dizzy and coils to work. a shoehorn may be required.

anyway anyone who has dabbled with the RB stuff on a L series any help would be much appreciated.

Scorcher in melbourne can buld a custom dissy, basically grafting the RB30e dissy onto the L series shaft and mounts. perfect.

other solution is to source a L28et dissy, which has the optical chopper wheel CAS in it. prety much he same thingas the RB but half the price.

I got one here, but Im not letting go for any less than $300.

I didhave a RB30e ecu running my practice L24e but it would only just idle. i didnt put too much effort into it as I got a Wolf 3d

For a few hundred more you could go Megasquirt II, with EDIS

thanks for the reply's. i am aware of the megasquirt option but was thinking along the lines of nistune if possible. If the RB30e ecu can be reflashed then why not?

Would megasquirt be a better option?

Also is there a difference between L24E injection manifold and L28E?

I like Megasquirt, a bit of a learning curve to start with, but now there is some very nice "on the fly" tuning software that will tune while you drive.

L24E manifold will bolt onto a L28E, and L28 will bolt onto a L24

some heads don't have the larger bolt hole in the head. (early L24 / L26 , I believe )

After talking to many people on this one it looks like it is a bog hassle to work through the RB30E business so i am leaning on standalone, or megasquirt. once i have found out more i will revisit this. Wolf 3D v4 sounds quite good for what you get so far.

I did want to go megasquirt, but the lack of actual workshop support put me off.

True.

but if it's not your daily driver, then you dont have the pressure to get it going over a weekend,

lots or reading, but in the end, I'm very happy with it, and I can say, I did it myself.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
