mmm gareth your head cost close to 5500 at swmotor sport just the head , i did it cheep for you , your motor and carbs in a shop would cost close to 20000

mmm you don't read so well 35000 was with ecu motec and dash 7000 by its self, fuel system 4000 buy its self turbo and hard wear 3500 custom inlet manifold and exhaust manifold 4000 this is before you start to build the motor , i wonted the best L Series in the world not a back yard hack turbo .... the crank was a custom 7500 Oliver rods 2500 pistons 1500 + rings it adds up real fast ,,,, and i know i can put a Chev in it I'm not a dick head , its not what i wonted i wonted the best L in the world PS real rbs like toms from scratch ant cheep, no motor is if you have to start from the start no fuel system no ecu new exhaust and if you are paying $100 per hour to get a pro to do it

some people like new cars some people like to drink and smoke i like to build fast datsuns and fast comes expensive ..

I'm hearing you my last engine that i built i made all the parts and did all the boring and honing and porting .. so just parts the motor and ecu and dash and fuel system to make it work cost $35000

i was talking about the guy that started the thred not you ,,, ps 15000 wont build a motor with all the gear not even close ,,,,

heheh crank fired and motec and tube exhaust and a real tune .... a bit more than this guy will spend . sorry if that's rude but he wont's to do it with no money , and that's the problem ,it can be done with some know how and a real budget

very nice mate zed porn

well theres some work to get throu before i get near a track hears some work i got throu today , i made the bracket for the oil pump and started on the inlet manifold , needs to be a bit smaller in volume from the drag spec unit

garret gt3076r or 2871 with 86 rear for strong street car next one up would be 3540r for a race car or Borg 300 style ring GCG they will help you out

yep that's the plan Simon , Les is helping with the fab work so we can get the FJ low and back as far as it will go , I'm working the head and manifolds over and making the crank lighter should be about 600hp and lots of fun to drive

hi well its still in the shed ,heheh so i started to work on it ,, iv made my mind up im building the fj20 turbo , the first job make the dry sump and mount the pump and make the frunt drive , there are no parts you can buy so i have to make all of them . Hear is some pics of the sump

just because some one put new gaskets in them does not mean there rebuilt ...... take it to a zed man and have him look at it

420 ps is out there but it is at 9000rpm on a 3.2 so it is very achievable from a engine dyno in japan

No that's not normal your carbs need to be looked at most likely worn in the tubes the needles run in and running very rich have it checked out by a zed man in melb or come down to Les collins racing , daz in melb will fix it for you if you don't wont to come out to the sticks

very cool mate

welcome mate hope you find the site fits your needs theres lots of info on the L28 hear

I don't use them because i don't shave the head more than i have to , so the Chane is tight with standard guides

in the US the same L28 will run 5-6 deg more than hear as there fuel burns slower than our fuel and i do know this as i have been there and tuned and this is all i do all day guys i tune turbo cars i do have half a clue . all I'm trying to say is it will give you the shivers as it will give so much trouble if you half ass it

its not the octane rating 91 or other we use a different rating Mon and Ron ,our fuel is not the same and you have know idea about how it behaves yes he can run low boost but then he will say turbos are crap and not worth the the work , do it right and they are so much fun ,do it like some do and you will be fixing it all the time PS the reason you don't see the n42s problems over there is your fuel is better than our fuel , the chamber pings NA with little lode , and timing , Nissan built the p90 for a reason .. a good rule for tuning if you have to retard more than 12deg of timing to control detonation your combo is wrong and with a n42 with a bar of boost this can not be done with our pump fuel,

the head gasket will blow first if you are lucky the ring lands will crack due to pinging and the engine will fail ... as boost increases timing must be retarded and fuel must increase this must happen or the engine will fail

mmmm you do live in a different country , our fuel is crap not nearly as good as your fuel , and a n42 head will not take well to a turbo with even our best fuel , its not the comp ratio that has the problem its the chamber, even a NA n42 will ping with normal tuning hear so please think about this when you build a turbo setup ....... and give advice to people with limited tuning experience im not saying it can not be done, it can but it will be lots of hard work to get right and if you have to get people to do it it will cost lots to make it right

its a very modified Rb30 crank

even with the dish piston the n42 will ping and wont be a good thing there is no cheep way to do it right ... yer you can do it but it wont be reliable and will give trouble all the time , to do it right you need a p90 head and programable ECU 3in exhaust intercooler its not a cheep project
