l28 motor swap

mcgooglepants · 01-31-2010, 12:46 PM

i'm planing on swaping a l28 moptor out of a 1978 280z and are wondering if there is someone who has done the swap and knows what tranny i can use that fits best. also i can't relly find any engine parts that can hold twin turbos and not blow up (forged internals). any advice will help.

Well you havent used google then. I just googled "l28 forged internals" and got heaps of sites. This among them. The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: L-28 Forged Pistons

planning on making a Devil 280sx eh? i thought the L28 came with a twinturbo... it was built not to blow up with them?

yes and all anime's contain nothing but facts

there was never a twin turbo L series motor

**word sux** · 02-03-2010, 10:28 PM

wtf was that jibberish?

IS THE LD28 CRANKSHAFT ABLE TO BE USED IN A NON STROKER ENGINE SETUP! please help

Well... no. The L28 crank was made to stroke the L24 to 2.8L. Your question is more of an answer in itself. You can use the L24 crank to de-stroke it... but then you need the L24 internals... which means you might as well get an L24.

mcgooglepants · 02-05-2010, 05:09 PM

i know the l28 crank was used to stroke the 240 motor but is the ld28 crank that came out of the deisel motor the same dimmensions as the 128 non deisel.i whant the ld28 crank because it is alot stronger and is less pron to twist under an extreme load like twin turbos or alcohol injection.

Ptotherice · 02-05-2010, 05:54 PM

I promise you the L28 crank isn't going to twist under TT operation. You will destroy a cap or bearing or piston or rod or head gasket before you do that.

**word sux** · 02-07-2010, 12:51 PM

yea dude you not gonna break you crank its forged..

i guess you could drop 10k on a billet one off crank since you obviously gonna be putting out well over1k hp

lulz

mcgooglepants · 02-07-2010, 05:09 PM

has any one heard of a twin turboed 128 and what rods did they use for that, oviously forged but what brand are part number?

**word sux** · 02-07-2010, 10:37 PM

no

but if eagle makes em i would go with them

google this shit it isn't that hard to find

Ptotherice · 02-08-2010, 05:26 PM

Google is your friend, for sure. I would just give Eagle a call, and give CP a call for pistons, get Clevite bearings, keep the stock crank. You should be set from there, although a TT setup would be worthless on this engine, the L design is awful for turbo. If you want a TT setup to put down power get an RB.

This is pretty much the advice to solve the thread.
