huwwatki Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Just doing some research and was wondering if anyone knew the best way of getting a l28et in Oz, (as the turbo engine never came out over here ) is it possible (and affordable!)? or will i need to get a l28 and built it up/source custom manifolds etc? any advice would be nice.

Engine is still in the car (260Z), can hear it run & test drive. Price: $4500ono Location: Wollongong NSW Contact: Nick Email: nixcars@aapt.net.au Phone: 0416 283 194 (hours: 9am-9pm) Friggin steap if you ask me, and don't forget to ask if it has the F54 block. Failing that I believe Lindsay has one in his shop: http://www.zshop.net.au/ Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedevan Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 i was very resently told about a freshly rebuilt carby turbo for $1100, 45mm carbs (not sure of brand, claimed value of $400 alone) with all the manifolds that would be needed and external wastegate etc to bolt it onto my L26. i've tried to read up on carby turbos vs efi ones but it brings up to many results (carb vs turbo threads), i was told that with everything stock besides this "bolt on kit" i'd be able to run it at normal boost levels, so i'm thinking it might be a bit of fun while i keep saving for a newer straight 6, and i'm thinking if worst comes to worst i could always sell it for the same sort of price? or is are the carby ones that much mucking around compared to efi ones and just going to give me a headache? its not fair that a turbo l28 can be had so cheaply in america!

thehelix112 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Carby turbo is great for going hard. Apparently drivability is a little worse than EFI. Should be fun to muck around with though. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
