Im building one in the next few weeks for a customer

I have already finished the head

It showed up as 308 hp on paul gilberts flow bench, with 85 % exhaust flow

It has itb,s on it with a turbo and an hks scavenge tank

We are just using the std cam at this point but will look at some thing else later

It has haltech going on with 550cc injectors we are looking for 350 at the wheels

What's the big deal about Horsepower?

If you're doing a big bore L28, your going to need an N42 block and be sure to have it Sonic tested to be sure the bores are thick enough after the 3.0mm over bore. The common thought is to use the siamesed F54 block, but I will be very surprised to see any F54 block capable of taking an 89.0mm bore and the N42 block has a higher silicone content.

This L31 engine has been done to bits and very well documented online, but turbo is not normally the way to go, because the bore becomes a bit thin and under high boost pressure, the bores are porous.

I'm doing an 87.0mm bore (2818cc) 380 injectors, about 250HP @ wheels and over 600Nm torque, so who needs HP.

Your going to need; LD28 diesel crank, L24E rods, KA24E pistons for your bottom end. Rods should be chromoly or H beam forged & pistons forged to KA24E specs.

Cheers, D

A'MEN

........OR

buy an OS Giken 3.1L and fuel inject it and turbOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it :)

would i be better off resleeving an l28 and adding an ld28 crank and suitable rods/pistons? least then il no how much meat ive got left in the bores?

also what head would u reccommend?

thanks for the replies appreciate the advice

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
