found out what it was.
I put octane booster in the tank, because of the craptastic "premium" grade gas that they have up here (90 oct is considered premium up here).
-
ANYONE?
-
Oh. and I thought it was black = rich.
thats why when I run it rich my tail pipes get all sooty
-
Sorry, this is on my genesis. like 9K miles on it. So, its pretty new. Its pretty orange.
I've tuned it a bit. I've swapped it out for a WRX one, because the turbine fin angle on it are a bit more aggressive.
Sorry, bit blurry.
-
This question isn't on my datsun, but might as well ask.
I took my turbo off my other car, and the turbine wheel appears orange. Does this I'm running lean, rich, or what?
thanks.
-
Ok. so they went that route.
Don't want to step on anybody's toes, so I guess I won't sell them on here.
-
Noted.
I didn't want to start a new thread on this, so....
Why aren't I able to start a new thread in the For Sale section?
I have a boost and A/F gauge that I want to unload, since I got a 2in1 unit.

I got hyundai. I like it very much
-
You should hold out towards the end of the year. Hyundai is going to be selling the sonata with a 2.0T DI, supposedly good for 275 hp (crank
) -

I like it.
Its actually quite nimble for being so heavy. Its like 100 pounds lighter than the z32.
Really freakin easy to mod. Surprisingly hyundai went with a IATS and MAP sensor setup, no MAFs to deal with. Rebuilt the turbo from a TD04L-13T (same in the wrx) to a TD04L-19T with a forge wastegate actuator, and am using Dynojet CMD to tune fuel and whatnot. Starting to max out the injectors, so I have boost down to 24~26ish psi. Can hit over 30 easily with it.
So next thing will probably be larger injectors and lager FMIC.
Had a scrap on the rocker panel and cracked my bumper in the winter time. just fixed it recently. Convinced myself that I will replace the bumper with a Cuper bumper if the bumper cracks some thing horrible again. Need an opinion on the bumper though.
Got the automatic, because it was the only one they had in the 2.0T.
Heres the car as of today. Bit dirty because I can't wax, or cut and polish until the clear coat cures completely.

bumper in question

Since I've gotten my Genesis Coupe, been doing things on that car hehe. Haven't been on here for almost a year.
I haven't had a chance to dyno it, I would give a very conservative guess at about 250 whp from the stock 175 whp (2.0T).
Turbo upgrade and piggy back system, BOV.
My 280z has been sitting in storage for the mean time. Starting the project back up
. -
well. it needs to be a TD04L specifically. it needs to be able the turbine housing that I have already.
thanks for your inquiry
-
Looking for a used TD04L, commonly found in the wrx and volvos. Size of the compressor side does not matter to me.
I don't mind if the turbine housing happens to be cracked, as long as the core, bearings and turbine wheel are in good shape.
-
get the front clip. It will include the dash gauges and climate control as well. Would think all that alone would cost more than $700 with shipping
. Might even be able to swap over the brake booster and whatnot -
Best way to redo the old soldering is to:
1. cut the old solder section out.
2. get some shrink tubing and slide it onto one of the wires you will be joining
3. strip and flux your wire connections.
4. depending on what gauge wire you are dealing with, you might be able to get away with just using a soldering iron, but in most cases that I've dealt with, a pen torch works best. "tin" you connections.
5. get a wire sleeve crimp connector and join the wires with it and crimp it.
6. heat the sleeve with a pen torch so the wires solder in place.
7. slide the shrink tubing over the connection and heat it until its tight around the connection

Let me put it this way. Have YOU ever put a L28 5 speed ONTO a KA24DE?
Well I HAVE.
END OF STORY

Ummm. read the thread title.
KA24DE (ENGINE) + L28 5 speed (TRANSMISSION) = shift jamming into your leg.
The KA 5 speed, is NOT the SAME as the L28 5speed.
And what I was saying "NO" to was this statement
The stock KA doesn't sit straight up and down... its tilted, and with L tranny will tilt it to the opposite side.Just because the engine is "tilted" doesn't mean that the transmission is, engineers are clever that way.
And as tony said the engine tilt angle is determined by the oil sump.
BTW I don't even look at post counts. I didn't even know you were new here. Never called you a noob, or questioned your knowledge of car. someone is jumping to conclusion.
EDIT: Bolting tranny on tomorrow. Going to show proof and put an end to all these assumption.

The stock KA doesn't sit straight up and down... its tilted, and with L tranny will tilt it to the opposite side. I know this for a FACT, I've owned several 240sx's, and am helping a friend with an install in his 620 with a 'KA' tranny. The L tranny tilts it more like 15degrees. I am also doing the same combo in my 240z... 280z 5spd and KA24de.
This pic is of a KA with its normal 5spd... tilted.
NO. I have already confirmed it. I bolted my L28 5 speed to the KA. I know how the KA sits.
Don't believe me? I can bolt it back on there and take pics.
To have it sit properly, you need to swap the KA bell housing ONTO the L28 5 speed.

At least it won't be as bad to fix up, compared to most of the older Zs out there

We had put all the guns in the safe before we left for england and like we were lazy in getting our 2 handguns that we sleep with out of the safe and back under the pillows.
You don't make a move when someone has the drop on you while in your house, simple as that. Buddy did his job and is a hero in my eyes as it changed the situation completely and probably saved me and yes he got a t-bone all to himself. Also he wasn't going to shoot when he said he would, people that shoot just shoot, they dont talk about it first so I wasn't all that worried. The first thing that came to my mind was "I know you" and that's what I said. He's around, cops won't do anything anyway since it doesn't generate income in these tough times, they'd rather write tickets.
But I have lots of bigger guns, big enought to shoot through the wall, a perp, and off into never land make no mistake about that.
In NM it doesn't matter if I would of shot him in the house, in the yard, coming or going, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon is a felony and you can shoot felons in the process of committing a crime and certainly on your own property here in NM. Cops said to shoot him next time. If I did you can bet he wouldn't be talking and it'd take awhile to get all the empty cases rounded up.
It is hard to describe the feeling you get with a perp pointing a gun in your face inside your home. Really, it's not a good feeling and something the movies have failed to capture. Honestly I hope nobody has to experience that feeling, it is truly a life changing event. Mind you that this isn't the first time I have experienced it, but it is the first time in my home. I have seen alot of drunk people waving guns around in my life not to be scared, but in your home is completely different. It is easy to reckognize when the situation is serious, but luckily I had backup the time before and although he drew first I had someone to back me up, which changes things and makes people think about what they are doing. Oddly enough the other time it was the number 2 man in the NM national guard trespassing while hunting on my land who pointed his deer rifle at me, but my ex military buddy came up from behind him and diffused the situation rather quickly.
Next time, nightscope

any updates, dr hunt?

"fast, isn't she?"

unless there's a trans adapter out there that I don't know about, I'm sure the L tranny will not bolt up.
AK-Z installed his motor and ran into clearance issues for the lower oil pan and the front crossmember. I just got my KA24de and I will probably make modifications to the pan to clear. I still have to check the oil pickup dimension though.
I am also going turbo. And for fuel management I will be using the megasquirt ems. I have a ct26 from an mr2turbo that I will be using. KA-t.org is a great website for ka turbo info.
Good Luck with your project.
Wrong. I just ran my cross member about 1/2" forward, because I have a tube chassis up front.
Issues withe transmission. You "can" simply just bolt up the transmission to the KA block, but.... the transmission will sit about 10 degrees to the the left , so the shifter will sit towards the driver side, instead of sitting straight up and down.
Issues with removing the power steering pump. The same belt runs the water pump, so you can't just remove it.
You'll need both alternator brackets from a KA24"E" (sohc) engine. This will locate the alternator about an inch back so it runs inline with the water pump. Then you will also need a thermostat housing from the the sohc engine, because you'll run into issues of the belt rubbing if you use the dohc housing.

Does changing the final drive, change the whp?
I know it changes torque.
I was under the impression that it does, since part of how HP is calculated, uses torque numbers
