Atmos were 4.11's, Turbos - 3.90. At least in the DR-family.....

OK, looks like it could be the same for HRs too. Mine was L20E from factory according to manufacturer plate, but had the L20ET when I bought it.

and... i've got an original HR30 with L20t (l20a) and tho it's ok (not really).. i'd love to put a L24/L28 into it!!... why?.. cause every other wanker has a RB!! b different go old skool!!! REMEMBER most of the people that will see it are too young to understand the raw power (?) of a L series revving off it's nut!! Hell put a VH45 into tha sucker!! if i could find a good 240K coupe in perth Thats what i'd do!! bugger ya all i'm going to bed!

really in the long term the compression still would be to high, which would make tunning impossible. the best option is to take the L28 and chuck the LD crank. and so forth.

The LD28 with l20 turbo intake manifold runners are to long which is good for low down torque but stangles the top end so that manifold would not be adiqit. the l28 one would work much better.

The l20et exhasut manifold is the same accross all L turbo motors, even for the astranged l24et motor. It is listed on nissan's system. :rofl:

Given the cost and rarity of good L28E blocks, has anyone thought of using an L28D bottom end with a de-compression plate and L20ET head, manifolds etc. etc. The bottom end would be indestructible given that its made to handle 23?:1 compression ratio.

I respectfully disagree,

The L28 was available in at least 3 different models in Australia - 280ZX, 280C & the Patrol. The LD28 was not released on the Australian market at all.

The LD28 block is also a mid-height block (same as L20b), which could make fitting an issue. the L20A/24/26/28 & L13/14/16/18 are all 'short' blocks, while some of the Z blocks are taller again.

A mildly-prepped L28ET (custom, or factory) will turn 300HP on standard internals with good tuning. The LD28-crank option is a bit of a mixed blessing. It gives you the potential to go out to nearly 3.2L, with lots of low-down torque, and a healthy power output. But this is at the expense of rod/stroke ratio and total rpms. Balancing is also critical on a stroker.

Ideally you need to use L14 rods (which are longer than L24) and a very short skirt piston in order to make the best of the combination.

I considered buiding my twin-turbo L28 as a 3L stroker, but have decided that block rigidity & ease of construction were more important than an extra 200cc's. My LD28 crank will therefore stay in the shed...

I've also considered building a very over-square engine by mating an L20A crank to an L28 bottom end. I'm sure I could crack 10,000rpm if I tried hard enough!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
