Very interesting old dude,

I am not currently in the market, but will be in the future.

"high flow r34 turbo stainless split dump and front pipe all in perfect condition"

Would you consider selling this as a package? (Trade in for stock L20et Turbo and dump plus cash?)

Estimated or if known RWHP of each engine and what car they were in?

The L20et is out of a HR30 gt RWHP not much factory 144 this has bigger injectors

bigger turbo and split dump pipe so probably a bit more.Good thing its all original

and in excellent running order also the ECU will go with it along with all the Factory

Turbo stuff.

The L28et came out of a 280zx so all factory turbo stuff except injectors turbo dump

ECU new clutch ass might even throw in the same side inlets front mount and piping

Clutch Turbo head have only done a few hrs work this also was in the HR30 after the L20

but like i said I'm going a total different way and what ever i get for it all will be

put to that.As to RWHP 250+ maybe not really interest in figures as there not big enough

to talk about but plenty more than the L20 and when it boosts it's fun.

I plan to, just wondering how difficult making pickup longer is and if there's anything else involved.

Edit: Can standard ecu still be plugged in or have pinouts been changed?

Hydraulic lifters or solid?

How difficult was sump swap?

Was only a case of elongating the oil pickup and bolting on a front facing sump?

It's not a biggie. My car's oil pick up (originally from a 260z???) has been cut, pointed in the opposite direction, and welded again to suit an 280zx sourced L28 with a C210 sump.

I can confirm that you will need to modify your oil pick up, but don't expect a major hassle. Better news, your front facing sump bolts straight up to the L28 block. The biggest hassle you might face is deleting one of your 2 dipsticks (a sawn-off dipstick should do the trick).

Again, from my experience, 144HP odd at the rear is going to feel like you're in a rocket compared to standard C210 arrangement... as for 250 plus... that's actually an awesome number, being near on double the factory output, but possibly waaaay more poke than the original C210 drivetrain and brakes are going to cope with for long. Fun though!

its 144 HP at the Flywheel.

My auto L24e with microtech was 74kW and went harder than a mates stock 5 speed L20et.

as for pinouts, each engine and series and release year and even continent has a difference or 2.

The later the release date the better, well nearly. You could get stuck with the ECCS with Oxy sensor and Cat convertor... meaning emissions compliant.

That's interesting!

My factory spec L20et 5 speed Paul Newman with it's 144HP, pulls up Mount's Ouseley & Kiera coming north from Wollongong @ 90kph in 5th without a care in the world with 2 up.

My old 7MGE MX83 auto Cressida couldn't do that with just me on board, unless I held it in 3rd to stop it jumping up to 4th & back to 3rd all the time.

And when I took it up the mountains the other week, it kicked ass going up Lapstone Hill off the end of M4 at Emu Plains.

Anybody that knows these roads in NSW can vouch that it is no mean feat.

Cheers, D

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
