Hi guys,

RB25DET throttle body a good choice for the L24E? Also can anyone estimate the bhp(at the flywheel) that these mods will give an L24E?

-72 degree regrind camshaft from SW motorsport

-RB25DET throttle body

-Exhaust (2.5 inch piping i think)

-K&N panel filter

-Maybe a set of extractors

-Also thinking about using variable resistors to modify the afm(has anyone done this before?)

I'm looking for about 160hp so I have to try and gain about 30hp up from stock. I have turbo plans for the future but just looking at N/A mods for the moment.

Yeah, gonna try and install mods that will work well with the turbo as I'm planning to turbo the L24E rather than do an engine transplant............

Why?? Because there are heaps of RB20DETs around and L24ETs are a lot fewer :)

i just bought an rb20 s13 silvia and believe me mate, it's a monster of an engine! bang for your buck and parts availability are only an advantage to you man.

Hi,

FYI. This looks similar to what you're trying to do:

There's a reason for that Later technology,more power,cheaper and less hassles.

If you still want to stick with the old motor maybe try to find an old L20ET and graft the bits on

Cheers

The engine management is the main restriction mate.

Even if you do all that stuff hardly any real gain will be had unless there is an after market copgyback like a microtec MT4 or full ECU replacement.

If youre keen enough the RB30 gear can be used, from an R31 Skyline, it is re-mappable via nistune. lotsa mucking about though

another idea is the Delco 808 setup that runs the Holden Camira, dont laugh it is HEAPS better than the Bosch shit...

Requires heaps of fiddling and research mate....

cheapest bang for buck is bolt the turbo gear on, get a copgyback ecu, all can be done for under $1000

If i could start over, I would likely convert to RB30e very cheao and easy to work on, and can boost real good too.

Use the search feature a bit more too

What's everyone's opinion on the cam itself? Good move or no point(I'm installing it on Saturday)? I was told that the stock setup chokes the L24E pretty bad and the cam would fix that significantly(like about 15-20hp worth N/A); but I would REALLY notice the advantages when the motor is running boost.......

And rear R31 disk brakes. Also a good move?(they are going on in the next fortnight hopefully)

Sorry MAG86, I am an idiot I just tried a few alternative keywords in my search and found the answer to about 3 other questions I had. Sorry to make you repeat yourself. I am going to investigate remapping the delco further.........will let you know how it goes :happy:

Are you fitting new/re-ground rocker arms and the right size lash pads? If not, you're wasting your time and may destroy the cam in short order.

I suggest that you have a read of the L series 'bible' available here or here or here. And take it from there.

:happy:

Cams are very different from N/A to Boosted

A Turbo cam will make youre N/A run like shit, especially if youre useing the factory ECU.

Save the money. Get the turbo first!!!

If youre careful a turbo setup can be run on low boost, with the factory ECU

That would be the way to go first, then save over time for the ECU p1ggyback. Microtech MT4 can be found for $200 or so

If youre after turbo gear, search ebay, this forum, Ozdat, wreckers, engine importers.

The L28et stuff from the 280zx turbo will bolt STRAIGHT ON

Since you guys are talking about part,

I'm after another L28ET turbo manifold, the 2 on ebay will not ship internationally.

If you after some info on a turbo L24e build, this is what I did on my 240K

I started with just a EFI transplant, then my turbo install

I got 2 turbo manifolds here, one for me, one for sale! $300 and its yours.

Infact got a complete MR30 Hatch im wrecking (another one) if you want me to keep anything off that let me know, its getting FULLY STRIPPED tomorrow, ready to take the carcass to the crusher!

If you have the fuel pump, the fuse box (including the main plugs and foot or two of the wiring to it), the injector coil pack , and the engine efi wiring (will strip this down to what I need),

if the efi harness does not have the plug that goes to the coil pack, i'll need that as well, but I'm sure it does.

$300 for the turbo manifold is a bit more than I'm willing to pay (the one I got from the US was about $150 to my door), so I'll just keep an eye out for another one to show up on eBay.

From hanging out on "Hybrid Z" http://forums.hybridz.org/

I came across a post talking about a N/A cam that works very well on a turbo engine, the cams is the "A" type, look on the end of the cam for the stamp (other end from the timing sprocket).

this is what I'm running on my L24 turbo engine (mine L24 is a standard N/A engine, out of a MR30, L24e)

    • That may not be so tricky with a changeover relay (again, with LED indicator only to reduce load on existing headlight + source)  30 to indicator + globe side 86 and 87 to headlight parker + 87a to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth repeat on each corner, sorted, no diode required
    • There might have been some "hard core" decalcification going on in the cells to create that noise As for chargers, I stick all our cars on a trickle charger every few months to "clean out their pipes/cells", the Mrs battery in her Mistsu ASX is still running its OEM from new battery 10 years on, and that thing does alot of short drives, and it can sit around for ages without a good long run
    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
