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!

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
