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.

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
