I have a solution. Power without revs and adjustable from daily drivable to track beast. Don't fight it, its natural.

your talking about Turbo Charging that's blasphemy hahahaha.

Hi Gav,

I'm currently going through this process myself & found that the best combo is L14 rods & L28 crank. I don't think you can use the L14's with the LD28, the throw is too long for this rod & I dont beleive you can get a piston with the correct pin height to match this set up. If you could get pistons with the correct pin height they would have to be custom forged & you'll be looking at $1500 PLUS...

If you're set in using the LD28 crank, you'll have to go for the L6 L20A rods & get a set of VG30E or VG30ET pistons (these are available in aftermarket forged design). Again, I don't see the need for forgies as the genuine Nissan pistons are very reliable, after all, the turbo piston is only cast & the VG30ET engine had 155KW on 6psi boost & they can handle double that no worries.

The 2 engines I'm building at the moment are both with L14 rods & L28 cranks, but in one I'm using VG30ET pistons & the other with SR20DETpistons. These both have a slight dish so comp will be around 9.5 & 10:1 with the closed chamber E88 head.

If I wanted 11:1 then I'd go with the VG30E flat top.

Just something to consider Gav.

P.S. L14 rods are very rare & expensive here in Australia (try $600 +), but you have a better chance in the UK.

Oh, btw, there are 2 types of L20A rods, one set is compatible to the L24/L26/L28 crank, these are actually 135mm long & the others have a much smaller jounal & stem, I wouldn't recommend these. ( These might be the 128mm type that Alan is refering to).

Nick.
