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

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
