I'd rock it.

Where's the car located and how much you want for it? =)

Not for sale, at any (reasonable) price. I'd MAYBE trade it for a new 370z or a late model 350z, but that's a big maybe. In reality, the "blue book value" of my Z is much less, but to me, its just about priceless.

Why would you even consider an L28et when you have an RB motor available??????

FFFFFFUUUUUUU

awptickes · 08-20-2009, 07:43 PM

I would rather a l28et than an rb.

Keep it in the family.

Several reasons.

Mostly being the RB is a costly motor. For example an OIL PUMP on an RB runs about $1000, on an L28ET its about $75. Just to give you an idea. If I were to go with the swap, I'd need to buy a lot more than just an oil pump to get it running in the Z. With the L28, its simpler. I have a complete swap sitting here ready to go and run after a bit of wrenching and splicing wires, for less than the price of two RB oil pumps. Not to mention transmissions, custom engine mounts, new turbo (or rebuild of stock, its shot), engine management system, gasket rebuild kit, custom driveshaft etc (and a lot more nickle and dime parts on top). Hold the fucking sprinkles.

The L28 is also a much simpler design. Being that I'm a virgin tuner and this is my first swap, I'd like something simple and cheap to work on and possibly blow up. I have two L28ET motors for spare parts, and an L28E that's coming out of the car which is still good for a rebuild. These are my learner motors. I'd rather blow up one of them than an RB because I did something stupid. If I don't, and I rebuild one of them well, I may be able to sell it for a few grand. Rebuilding my T3 turbo was easy, a motor shouldn't be much worse, and I have plenty of documentation to help.

THAT BEING SAID... I am bothered by the ancient, inefficient SOHC head design without crossflow. Even though I generally like the motor design for its simplicity and durability. Later on down the road if Clayton doesn't sell/use the RB motor I would be happy to take it off his hands and put it in the Z. By that time I'll have more experience and money to dump into it. Then I can really go to town.

Airjockie · 08-21-2009, 05:16 PM

... and high redlines aren't everything.

Battle Pope · 08-21-2009, 10:12 PM

Well yeah if you're going for "cost effective" you wouldn't really want the RB, but nothing was ever said about cost being an object

Airjockie · 08-22-2009, 08:03 AM

Just letting ya know the reasoning, so you don't think I'm completely insane.

That is such a nice Datsun!

Battle Pope · 08-22-2009, 09:26 PM

It'll be plenty fast with the L28et in it, that's for sure.
