L28 With Rb30 Ecu And Loom

Recommended Posts

I have a L28 efi and was thinking of trying to install a RB30e ecu so i can get a nistune.

Has anyone done such a thing? i.e. RB30e loom and ecu with L28 EFI manifold.

With this i was thinking of going turbo which brngs me to my next question - what to do on the distributor front. Since it would have RB30e ecu and loom was thinking RB30e afm and somehow getting the RB30e dizzy and coils to work. a shoehorn may be required.

anyway anyone who has dabbled with the RB stuff on a L series any help would be much appreciated.

Scorcher in melbourne can buld a custom dissy, basically grafting the RB30e dissy onto the L series shaft and mounts. perfect.

other solution is to source a L28et dissy, which has the optical chopper wheel CAS in it. prety much he same thingas the RB but half the price.

I got one here, but Im not letting go for any less than $300.

I didhave a RB30e ecu running my practice L24e but it would only just idle. i didnt put too much effort into it as I got a Wolf 3d

For a few hundred more you could go Megasquirt II, with EDIS

thanks for the reply's. i am aware of the megasquirt option but was thinking along the lines of nistune if possible. If the RB30e ecu can be reflashed then why not?

Would megasquirt be a better option?

Also is there a difference between L24E injection manifold and L28E?

I like Megasquirt, a bit of a learning curve to start with, but now there is some very nice "on the fly" tuning software that will tune while you drive.

L24E manifold will bolt onto a L28E, and L28 will bolt onto a L24

some heads don't have the larger bolt hole in the head. (early L24 / L26 , I believe )

After talking to many people on this one it looks like it is a bog hassle to work through the RB30E business so i am leaning on standalone, or megasquirt. once i have found out more i will revisit this. Wolf 3D v4 sounds quite good for what you get so far.

I did want to go megasquirt, but the lack of actual workshop support put me off.

True.

but if it's not your daily driver, then you dont have the pressure to get it going over a weekend,

lots or reading, but in the end, I'm very happy with it, and I can say, I did it myself.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
