How can I get really close to 10:1 in a L28 without going to flattops? What are the options? There is a lot of unused space in the top of a n42 block that could be used. D crank? steve77

Nismo Cam's Lets say your me. An 18 year old guy who can't stand people to be beatin in a street race by any ricer ( less the S2000 and NSX i would be happy to have one race me! ) which cam off of that page would you recomend for me? and what other mods would you say i should do? P.S. im just putting ideas together for a project. I intend for it to be an early 240...hopefully 70 - 71 cause i like the emblems more and plus i get to say its a 70 =) but definetly a 240. P.S.S. also on this website they have a 2.8L Big Bore kit for the 240...but when i clicked on it, it was the same as the 3.1L Big Bore Kit....ideas? Matt

The L engine calculator that someone posted on the site.... Here it is here for those who dont have it.... Well i was fiddling ( which i often find myself doing....idle hands...well you know ) and i was thinking about putting an L28 crank into an L24 ( interesting idea eh? ) well with the stock 240Z head from 71 - 73 ( e88 ) the compression jumped to a nice 12.54....a lil high for my taste =) and the gas HOWEVER when mixed with a P79 head and a 1mm HKS gasket the compression goes to a nice 10.6 : 1....( 10.3 with the std gasket ) now would this be a nice lil compression set-up or what? do you think it would work? what im curious about is the deck clearence? will my p…

swithing the L24 crank with the L28 crank would add some displacement right? i THINK the L24 rods are longer, but if not would switching them with the L28's add displacement? of course some work would need to be done to compensate..but what do you think? Matt

Is there an electric fuel pump in a 73 besides the mechanical one? I think chiltons says there isn't but I've seen posts saying there is. My car seemed like it was getting fuel but then it would die and be hard to start. I wonder if that was part of the problem( I changed the fuel filter up front). The car had old gass in it that I drained. I would look at it but it is in the shop getting a tranny swap. Thanks again for any help you can give! Mark

i was wondering i was reading about valve adjustment on www.Zhome.com they stated a cold adjustment of .008 intake and .010 exhaust cold then hot .010 and .012 hot respectively. they dont go into much detail. are they talking about the distance between the lash pad and the cam. if so is there any special way the cam should be set etc. can anyone give me more information. thanks james

Hi, Does anyone know if there's a difference between a NA and a Turbo Intake Manifold on the L28 engine? Which one is better suited for Turbo application (I assume turbo intake for turbo car but...). I think the NA manifold has an extra cold start injector. What does it do? BTW, know what "WOT" stands for? Oh and also, how much should I expect to pay for an intake manifold, NA or Turbo, in a good to decent shape? Thanks, -Guycali
