240ZR Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Can I run a L24 with a L28 Crank, L24 Pistons, L24 Head, L20 Rods and go .060 over? Or would that Engine just be a Grenade? Thats what i came up with for a "Hotter" NA for a friend, with out going Turbo, or buying special parts. I dont know I am new to thinking about stuff like this, or are there easyerways to make an L24 "Go fast," Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 uhm, If your gonna do all that work, just get an L28. go to the local u pull it and get an L28E with a flat top pistons. then, get a 1981 to 1984 nissan maxima head, bolt it all together and you get a nice 11:1 motor. Its just that easy. Mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalium99 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 How is that engine of your going Mack, no troubles so far? My 'Maxima' head is on my engine with dishies and the std valves, decided not to go with the flattops. Car is a bit closer to going, so shouldnt be long before I find out how the head fares.

Mack Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 well, I thought I had pinging issues but it turned out to be bad gas, lol! it also helped out a lot when I changed out my TPS. Plus, it would probably help if I weren't running 15 degrees initial advance. Its running great now that I stopped buy gas from ANY old station. I run chevron premium only now. I dont know how it will do with dish pistons because they wont provide proper quench. I think my car is def. a mid 15 sec car, which isnt bad for a 280zx 2 + 2. I am going to do a compression check on it and make sure the bad gas and pinging didnt mess anything up, but so far so good! Mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalium99 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Well these heads came from the factory with dished pistons so Im sure it wont be all doom and gloom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yea like MACK said, the head will yeild a higer compression of about 8.8-1, but you loose ALL quench and will prone to detonation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 You're not going to have detonation problems on a 8.8:1 engine. Take it from a guy who ran a L28 dished/E31 combo for years. I could run at the track in 105* weather on 87 octane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
