pjo046 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I have a spare L24 engine( pulled it from the car due to the L28ET swap). I was thinking of rebuilding it later on. It has the E31 head. I have read that this is a desirable head? (http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/heads.html) I am wondering wether to turbocharge this engine, or to up the compression and put on a header and so on. Is it doable to turbocharge this engine, or is it a bad idea with that head? L6 engines are hard to come by over here in Norway. If they weren't I wouldn't have bothered rebuilding this, as a 2.8L block would be a better starting point. But what would you recommend doing with this engine I have? If I choose to build it up a bit as a N/A, can it become a snappy little thing, or will it not make any good power?(All N/A builds I hear about on here and at zcar.com etc are 2.8liters or strokers. Not sure what this engine is capable of) I am not looking to spend much on it. If I turbocharge it I already have a set of spare manifolds lying around, and a set of L28ET pistons I could put in it if I bored it up. Also I have the stock P90 turbocam that I am not using. Perhaps this could go into the E31 head? Furthermore I have a L28ET ECU and wiring harness. If I go the N/A route I have a pair of SU's that look real nice, and I would buy a header and a 1mm HG or even the 0.7mm HG if someone still sells it, and also an upgraded cam. What are your thoughts on this matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
