L26 Carby - 3 Speed Auto |

In the process of converting it to efi and manual using a 280zx donour car. I'm a D!ck tho and I picked this 280zx up and thought, yep efi L28 and 5 speed manual, woohoo. Paid for it and drove it 100km's back home. Started pulling it apart and found it was an import with a bloody L20E, damnit. Oh well, stripped what I wanted off the 280zx and got the rest hauled off by the scrap guy. As this was my first experience with the L series engines I was also clueless about the notches in the intake ports of the efi heads. Having dabbled a bit in head porting with my trusty Dremel I was just going to notch out the injector slots in the non efi L26 head myself but just today I took off the carby manifold and exhaust manifold on the L26 then laid the L20E manifold gasket onto the L26 block and I've got a bigger problem now, the 4 main bolt holes that hold the efi intake manifold on are not even drilled in the L26 head. Shall I drill them and tap a thread? Or should I just make it easy an get a N42 head? How easy are they to get and what sort of coin are they worth? |

It would be much easier to get a n42 head, otherwise it is fairly easy to drill and tap the EFI holes. |

Read this http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/72851-s ... t+%2Bheads Read it all. It's done on my L26 bottom end, as you will find out. It will solve many issues. I only suggest that you change the cam to something along similar lines as what I did to maintain your low rpm torque. It goes really well and sounds unreal! Nice pics too, btw! |

Good read sir, but do you know what? I left the L20E engine in the 280XZ when I got the wrecker to pick it up and now I see it would of been good to put the L20E head on the L26 block, argh!!! Would of also saved me from having to drill and tap this E88 head.

That is a shame about the little 2 litre engine but sheet happens! Nice setup with the surge tank and fuel pump.... looks a lot like mine in the coupe! |

Ummm, you probably know this, but I would stuff a lot of foam rubber into the ports before you start drilling, tapping and grinding. I have found that foam is the best for this job. Take your time. Good luck with it. |
