heavy85 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I am in the process of freshening up my F54 / P79 L28 (cam, shaved head, tripple mikunis, MSD, etc) but was just given an l24 with an 80's turbo set-up on it and am wondering if I should build it instead. I know the torbo engine has been sitting on the garage floor for at least 12-15 years and it originally came out of a 240Z because the car was wrecked. It's got a Rajay turbo (compressor looks perfect, turbine is oily with a lot of carbon build-up) on a pull through single SU - the SU bolts directly to the turbo inlet. Long term down the road I would really like a turbo set-up but was going to be content with my existing engine for a while ..... but before I send my l28 in for a valva job is there any value in trying to get this turbo set-up going?

z-ya Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 You are much better of with the L28. Carbureted turbo setups are very problematic. And with the L24 CR (8.5:1), it's difficult to control detonation, the result being lower boost pressure and power. I know, I had one. I'm running a fuel injected L28ET now, and I'm extremely happy with it. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 You are describing the JANSSPEED KIT it was 'common' in the UK since they did not get the Turbo there, the single su desing.... nah ... haha that is my opinion,. It would be cool in a 240 for the time original look though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
