stagefumer11 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Ive been toying with this idea in my head for a while, and hoping i can possible Sucsseed with this in my Country. Now i do have a R30 skyline with a l20et. Now i can get a l28e Now my questions are. Will the l20et run a l28et. I know injecors can be a problem but vg30det/rb25det injectors are 2.4 ohms and 370cc. ALso i have hear rumors that The l28 sits on a diffrent angle to a l20et and the Bell hosing will not bolt onto the l28 due to this angle. Corrent me if im wrong Any insites?

NZeder Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Will the l20et run a l28et. I assume your talking ECU here - I would try and pickup a L28ET from ebay etc to be on the save side (I don't know that answer just guessing) ALso i have hear rumors that The l28 sits on a diffrent angle to a l20et and the Bell hosing will not bolt onto the l28 due to this angle. Corrent me if im wrong? Have not heard this before - I don't think Nissan would do such a thing why manufacture a new gearbox chasing because you angle the engine differently when you have lots of L Series gearbox and engine in different models that are the same. Here is my thought on this one. The L28E from the 280zx fits a 240/260z. The L28E from a Laurel fits a 240/260/280z and 280zx (has the same sump). The L20E from a fairlady and the laurel are interchangeable. The R30 L20E will fit into a Zed with a different sump and oil pickup (front sump on these cars) so why would Nissan make a completely different gearbox for the L20ET/L28ET? Just does not make any manufacturing sense also Nissan quickly replaced the L20e/et in the skylines and laurels for the RB engine = this is the time for the change. Just my 2c worth.

stagefumer11 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 I agree, just hoping someone would chime in and hopfully inform, which ya did thanks . Is their a major diffrence between a l20et ecu, and a l28et ecu ? They all seem to work in the right princible. I do know tho the l20et ecu doesnt have a leaning out problem after 5k.

Tony D Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 L20ET and L28ET are mechanically identical in all boltup and exchange dimensions. The only differences are internal and fuel related. Trannies are the same as N/A L28's. I have an L20ET Transmission from an 84 Skyline Turbo in my 73 240Z with an L28ET right now! They are identical to the other five speeds in the comparable N/A L-Powered car of larger displacement. The L20ET should have a mechanical pressure retard on it, as opposed to the ECCS system used on L28ET's in the USA. I know the Euro units are set up like that, but can't remember the L20ET setup.

stagefumer11 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 actaully i think mine doesnt have a mechanical Retard System, all electronic. Uses the same dizzy as a l20et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
