I have an MR30 sedan with an L24 6 cyl in it. I already have extractors and a 2.5 inch exhaust, and was just wondering if there are any noticable improvements to be had in the induction side and or head? I have a picture from a japanese site showing what seems to be an L24 runing individual throttle bodies for each cylinder, my cousine has done this to his integra and said he can build a set for me, but what i really want to know is whether the L24 will respond to these sorts of mods or should i toss it for somthing else? (taking into account that i will not be paying for the throttle bodies to be fabricated)

they look like motorbike style slide throttle carbs in the pic. Triple sidedraughts would be a cheaper option, but probably not legal on a factory EFI car. I would leave the multiple throttle bodies for last on the list - by themselves they won't make much difference on an otherwise standard engine. The L24 would respond well to a camshaft and sensible porting - there are some areas that can really use some attention on these heads.

Thanks. I figured porting might help but on some engines its all but pointless. As for carbies i used to own a twin webered datsun that was nothing but a nightmare to tune :cheers:

bah, webers are easy, i found SU's and CD's to be more difficult to keep a good tune with.

SU's a bigger problem than CD's, at least with the CD's there was a diaphram to help keep some continuity.

The biggest problem I had with SU's was the right consistency of fluid in the dash pots.

But with either, a balancing tool was a must.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
