Hi all.. was wondering what everyone thought bout puting a turbo in a clean mr30 Sadan that i recently pick up. it has a rebuilt L24E, 5speed and IRS. To turbo i was thinking of finding a L20ET menifold and ecu do they bolt straight onto the L24E if so do i still use the L24e injectores and fuel rail. Also how hard is it to upgrade my motor to a Nissan RB30ET my mate is selling a worked one out of a VL Calais.. what would be involved in fitting it in the skyline. Also anyone with L20et parts they wanna get rid of give me a bell on [email protected]

Thanks for the help

Luke

Luke,

I have one of the hatchback versions. I also investigated just grabbing the turbo gear of an L20ET and whacking it on the side of the L24. However, it was suggested it would probably ping its brains out since the combustion chambers weren't designed to operate in a boost situation.

But then, if you installed aftermarket ECU, it would obviously possible to tune it to suit.

I happen to have available a L20ET, that I ran in a 240Z for a while. It has since been modified with a RB20DET BB-centre turbo, as well as still having the gear to hook up a Wolf 3D ECU. Also has been modified to use a small intercooler.

As for the VL motor, I am lead to believe that basically all that needs to be done to install any RB-series engine into the R30 is to get hold of the R31 X-member, then the engine will drop straight in. Then of course, you need the RB gearbox, and the RB drive shaft.

I think it's because of the design / shape of the combustion chambers. Just what I was told, but the last thing I need is an engine that pings.

Probably 100k on it, but the L-series engines I have found to be almost bulletproof, not like the RB-series.

I replied to you "Wanted to Buy" with a price. That would include an intercooler, and the RB-series dump pipe. The engine is set up to run off a Wolf 3D - that is available also, say $300 for ECU + loom.

I'm in Melbourne.

Let me ask some people about freighting it up there. I can probably do that price as a "delivered to your door" price, depending on the freight cost.

It should simply drop straight in and bolt up to your gearbox (as willl just about any L-series engine).

I asked around and $350 for a compleat L20et with that many km's seems to be the going price... a mate scored one for 200 bucks with some barganin from the wreakers that had just been taken out of a dr30 or hr30 or something he was saying

can i ask how much is your mate looking to sell the rb30et for?

the L24et should be good to run stock boost 6-8psi without problems, some tuning time will help, are you getting the wolf ecu? intercooler is a must to run higher boost plus nothing but BP ultimate too. engine will live a bit longer.

i was either going to get a l20et motor wolf 3d and has been setup for a intercooler or just get my hands on a l20et menifold turbo and ecu would i use the ecu from the l20et or l24e

would my l24e with that l20et turbo setup running 8psi be reliable and last

also what power increses can i expect

my mate had a vl calais that he wrote off and is selling the motor and box for round $500 i think i will make sure and post a msg

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.

      Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.

      About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
