OlderThanMe Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 looks like an L20a with the NAPS-Z head...not that great at all from what I have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 WRONG not a L20A!....VG30DETT from the "SEARCH" button I just used!...gosh when people get their facts right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 first one is an S20, second one is the LY crossflow single cam head. Hard to run a proper search if you don't know what you are looking for. Like looking a word you don't know how to spell up in the dictionary. Can't find it if you don't know where to start, right?

rztmartini Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 WRONG not a L20A!....VG30DETT from the "SEARCH" button I just used!...gosh when people get their facts right? the one valve cover said 2000 ont it, leading one to believe it is a 2.0L engine. and where did you get a VG30DETT? the VG series engine is in a "V" configuration and is twin turbo...and these engines are clearly normally aspirated. whats with the sarcastic response????

justin260z Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 are those engines origional in the cars? Did the U.S. ever get them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yes sarcastic response and I admit it. It just seems that every few months we get asked the same question about the LY Head, the 432 engines or the OS Giken heads and it getting old (maybe I'm the one getting old!).

rztmartini Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 well without any info to go off of, how is one to search for these (or any) engine? I understand the need to keep the HybridZ database as accurate and as un-repetitive as possible, but if we just say "LY Head", or Naps Z, then they will know what to search for to find more info in these cars. maybe I see this viewpoint because i am still part newb, while you are one of the "veterans" of this forum, no disrespect to you at all...just tryin to k keep it friendly lets not bash the :newbie:'s! we all were one at some time!

vegasnative Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i cant agree more this is a forum not an ENCYCLOPIDIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i cant agree more this is a forum not an ENCYCLOPIDIA ENCYCLOPIDIA??? You're right, it is definitely not one of those... OTM- don't answer if you don't KNOW. slownrusty- Yes it gets old seeing the same posts over and over. But in this case I agree with the others, if you don't know what to search for, how can you search? This is different than the guy who posts the "Can I make 300whp with an L28ET?" question for the 784th time. vegasnative- Hybrid Z is a forum, but we do expect people to LOOK before they post. Tough in this case, admittedly, but we will continue to uphold the rules here and there is something to be said for keeping the database lean and mean. To prevent any further confusion or erronious information from making its way in here (I already see NAPZ twice and it has nothing to do with either engine) I'm going to close the thread. Justin, search for S20 and LY and you'll find a bunch of other posts. Be careful though, because there is a LOT of bad info on these motors, so you'll see many posts then other people disagreeing and so on. HS30-H is very knowledgeable and his info can be trusted, but a lot of the others are not trustworthy. Regardless these engines are very rare so unless you have a boatload of money you probably won't get to do much other than debate their worth on the internet.
