Your probably right, but the specs as I quoted them for the L20ET are right.

I just transfered all my L20ET bits onto an L24E with the FJ20 turbo and it's heaps different in size (rear housing)

what ecu are you using, and is she alive??

The L20ET one & Yes it is!

Don't have a choice, only L series turbo ECU I have.

As I said before L24E ones are good for landfil.

Why? you offering an alternative?? :ghost:

no, unless you want to look at a wolf3d?? it's just i have all the bits sitting here to do the L24et thing but not the time..was going to spruce up the MR30 hatch with the turbo gear and sell it.. would there have been a different ECU for the L28et engine?

FJ20's came with T28s and T3s.RB20's are T28s,and RB25s are more of a T3.

I had the stock L20ET ECU running my L24ET,and believe me,they're over fueled enough to run a 3L!!!!

can i ask how the L24et went? also with the rb20's was there any difference from red top to silver top with the turbo mounts?

can i ask how the L24et went?

Very nice round town.I had a worked 3 spd auto behind it,with VL stall.Very "zippy" for lack of a better word.Hit the loud pedal,and she was back a gear and of you'd go.Top end wasn't huge,but everything else was pretty much stock,7psi,and no intercooler,so I thought it was pretty respectable.

Got 15.1 (and 96mph?) on G-tech,but most of that was cause of the launches!

Stand on the brakes and the throttle,get 5 psi on the dial,then hop off the brakes and you're in squat heaven! :O

That's pretty interesting, my L24ET will also be non intercooled but with L20ET ECU, but trying a L24E AFM and maybe throttle body, depending on which is the larger plus the T3 FJ20DET turbo and 5 speed man transmission.

Should make an interesting gadget to sell, as my MR30 hatch is a fully optioned Ti with the addition of the PNV interior, & grey dash.

Surely it will be a one off, RED with Grey/Black interior. All OZ delivered reds were brown interior.

As a matter of interest! does anyone know the differences of L series 6 cylinder engines?

Is their hieghts the same or does it increase as the capacity increases?

How far can the L20 be stretched etc, etc.

hey, i think you would find that information on one of the "Z car" websites. The yanks are really into the big "L" series motors. L28.

anyhow, my dad found a really interesting program on the net. it showed what could be done, by mixing the parts from all of the "L" seies motors. (Showed, bore, stroke, compression etc.)

Ill find it and make an attachment soon.

well, spose you drive a v8 commodore or something.

Cos only cheap wine comes in 5 litres. :)

That's well put Mick, but all these dicks have a different thing to say when the 2L is kickin the 5L's ass.

I had a 1750cc Hillman Hunter years ago and on the way back from the snow at 125mph a 5L SLE C'dore couldn't go past me. Could catch and sit on my rear in my slipstream, but when he pulled out to go past, he went backwards.

I only had 165 HP at the fly.

Re that program, PHaT in Tassie has the same I think, but I will do a google search and see what it produces.

Tah :ghost:

just got the HPI DVD #8 and theres a small bit of R30 action at the drags :aroused: mate it was brillant, dos'ent tell you much about the engine set ups but they were putting down mid 11's one got into the 10's :wassup: all running fj's, just for that part alone it was money well spent i give it 3 thumbs up...

theres a BIG (50+ cars)skyline cruise tonight hopefully as its rainning at the moment but i've been to a few in my r31 and there great!!

Is the any wreckers that anyone knows of who have interior pieces such as air vents and side mirror covers for the R30??

what colour interior do you have as i have a mr30 sitting here with baby sh%t brown interior?? side mirror covers are black ofcouse..

Re R30 Fronts!

I have come to the conclusion, after studying both for most of today, If you want to use the Tekamon bonnet with stock headlights, a modified (cut down) stock grille would have to be used, primarily due to the impossible task to remove the chrome trim from under the headlights. To keep uniformity, the cut down stock grille would have to be used.

The Tekamon front was designed to improve aerodynamics, so if the plan is to have a quick car the Tekamon front would be the obvious choice, but if show is more your go, then the stock front is probasbly best.

I will post pics in due course

Or to put another slant on it,just for discussion sake,cause I'm bored,if you stuffed an RB series 6 in there,the stock style front would be better for cooling,as it would allow more air flow to the radiator,as the bay's are pretty full with an RB in there,and hold a bit of heat.

I guess you could also say the same for a big front mounted intercooler...

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
