shizzl Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 ok so the van has an ld28 in it with auto trans... want to go back to petrol power.. does any rb20/30/25 bolt straight up to ld28 mounts? i know that rb's go into laurels and shit that had ld28s,but do they bolt in?? not after turbs, just want a reliable runner... also how much of a mission is it to wire the ecu/loom into something that doesnt really have a loom?? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 C33(?the 1989-1994) laurel = RD28, not LD28 I would suggest a L28E, as it should be near on bolt into place. Still good for about 100kW and reliable as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 yeah, there were laurels prior to the c33s...oldschool with ld28s maximas also had ld28s at one stage, the old rwd ones. hard to find a l28 these days... surely some hard angle hat wearing drift steez ghetto peep would know everything about every nissan to know what will fit what... mainly keen to know if a auto rb trans uses the same spline drive shaft yoke...im sure the mounts shouldnt be far off... exhaust is on the same side.... might even go for a falcon motor and auto if i can get hold of one...

ms123crownpimpmobile Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 falcon 4.1?as thirsty as a v8 but not fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 lol....probably...but easier to fit... i dont care about outright power... so something along the lines of an rb20e or something.. may even go for a 3.8 commo motor cos theyr cheap. no falcon 4l straight 6s in the south island on trademe,except a tickfor, but its in bits.. it all depends on if itll pass a wof first, i know it needs brake pads cos theyr metal on metal, wondered why it pulled to the right,went to check the caliper slides and oh damn..

DavidTheCreator Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 falcon 4ltr for the win love those engines and they love turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 you wont get cheaper running than a diesel if you're doing any real kays in it. esp while towing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 at $1.45/L plus road users for a van its not more economical....plus reg is more aswell. id rather pay $2/L and have more power for skids/hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'd take an L6 motor over an RB20e any day. The RB20e is the biggest turd under the sun. (I should know, I daily one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 L20ET!!!! how would it go pushing a tranny van?? and where would i find one of them? ....hmmm theres a cefiro with rb20e and auto in greymouth for 400, uspect afm fault...doesnt like to run when its warm... could be good for the engine/trans etc and give the rest to a drift freakazoid...or crush for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The RB20e is the biggest turd under the sun. (I should know, I daily one) QFT need torque for towing. rb20 has none of this drove a later model transit the other day, with 4.1 and 3 speed auto. was quite yuck. suggest- falc 4.0 holden v6 1uz 2jz n/a and auto would be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efp0wa Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 L20ET!!!! how would it go pushing a tranny van?? and where would i find one of them? ....hmmm : It would haul ass, trust me. Absolutely haul ass. I used to beat RB20DETs in mine. Here is one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 176067.htm I'm actually a bit concerned about that auction. Because I've owned a few R30s. That is my old engine out of one of them...what concerns me is I swapped my 2nd R30 to a guy in Chch...they 2 days later it got stolen from him and taht is the same motor. I can tell by how the pop off valve is bunged with that particular bung, the blue leads and the BOV. But who knows. That person could have bought it and had no idea etc. it was about 4 years ago. But those motors kick ass. $450 with a gearbox is rather good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 is the l20et easy to wire up? and do you reckon the ld28 auto flex plate will bolt up to the l20 crank?? im guessing it will but who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Should be gravy to the navy, brah. Most L-stuff will attach. Given the LD28 crankshaft is used in the stroker motors, it would be extremely weird if the flex plate did not bolt-up. EXTREMELY~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
