Mickie,

I have built a L28E Turbo'd about 10 to 15 years about and it was bullshit, I still think it went faster in my '77 240k thank my current BNR32 GTR, and thats a big call. Whether I'm looking back thru history with rose colored glasses on or not, I'm not sure.

Fuel Injection is the only way to go with Turbos, Carbies and Fuel thru turbos make for a bad, bad, inefficent powerup. I ran it with the original L28 Analogue EFI with a $500AUS aftermarket aux injector driver. Driving an 80Hp Injector. You need to lower compression a little, and think of intercooling. I kept my boost low (6psi), ran 2 head gaskets and no cooler back then. But parts are more easily accessable now.

I'm planning to go down a similar path this time with a couple of extra tricks and improvements, I'll be interrested to see what you end up doing?

Cheers,

I don't know what i'll end up doing yet, i think i'll just get the rest of the car fixed up first, then look at the engine.
