Guest Speaker Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 guys the main thing that keeps me leaning towards putting a RB26DETT into a Z car is that it has a HUGE powerband spool at 3500rpms and pulls to 8000rpms if i can somehow get something close to that in a L28T i'll get it instead how can i get a L28T to spool a turbo and have a high enough redline where i have 3000-3500rpms of power to play with? and make close to 400rwhp? ball bearing turbos ARE an option and so is headwork and a cam, etc... thanks [This message has been edited by Speaker (edited March 16, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 You won't get an L28 to pull like an RB26dett, Nissan did some major engineering to this motor . Once you start shooting for that +450hp option the RB option looks better and better . Lets break it down L28 setup $700 Pistons $2000 EFI system $200 Fuel Pump $300 Injectors $500 min for intercooler & piping $1000 headwork $500 L28et block $700 Turbo $200 Blow Off $1500 for stuff I missed I know this doesn't add up to the cost of an RB26 conversion but for mabey another $2,000 more you could have so much potential, plus amazing powerband .

Guest Speaker Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 yes but NO ONE and i do mean NO ONE has one of these motors... i would love to put one in my car... i got quoted a price for a used one somewhere for $9k.. thats a f@ckin RIP OFF i found a place in aussie that sells them for a good price but i don't know if they ship internationally... anyone here have a friend in Australia that could pick it up for me and ship it to me?

Sean 83ZXT Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 I can get a setup here in cali for like $6500 ------------------ Future 12 sec L28ET Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speaker Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 that sounds like a much better price... there's a place over in australia that has them for about $6100 in australian dollars i did a conversion and that came out to $3100 and some change... i dunno if that includes the turbos or not; but they're just two garret T-25s i think i have a budget for about $5000 for the engine alone...
