Z0wner Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I am looking to possibly build up an l26 w/ a turbo and some other stuff What are some good resources for information on the head/piston/block/ etc for L6s? I would like to get my l26 into the 250+ hp range If I were to turbo the engine, it would be rebuilt, so I am wondering what all parts need to be bought to switch over to a turbo. I am sorry, I have searched, there is not much information on an l26 + combos for the engine and I couldn't find any info on turboing it. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeiss150 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 there wont be much of a differance with an L28 turbo and an L26 turbo the short blocks are the same the only differance is that the L28 is stroked, or is it bored? anyway, you will be using L28 turbo parts anyway. You will want to swap your head for the P90 turbo head and use a FI injection manifold, you will have to use the turbo exaust manifold along with a t3 turbo (or upgrade to a t3/04 hybrid turbo) If you use the P90 head on your L26 with an HKS 1mm steel head gasket (or a felpro 1mm) your compression ratio will be 7.4:1 which was pretty much stock for the turbo L28 motor. Now, you wont have the displacement that an L28 has so your WHP wont be able to live up to the potential of an L28 but it should be able to get you to 200 WHP without to much trouble. You will also need a Fule Injection computer there are many to choose from, bigger injectors will give more HP, as will a 60mm throttle body from a 240sx, a fuel pump, wide band O2 sensor and A bunch of other $hit that I'm forgetting, but any turbo modification info you get on this site will work with your swap even if it is suposed to be for an L28. I think? Good luck, and keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0wner Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Alright, so this would be a pain in the rear. Might as well go with an l28et or sbc i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
