Paddy,
You will get good power from a L16, consider using an A87 41cc L18 35 or
38mm head and not the 210 head, 170hp? yes I think so fairly easily. Have
you thought about which turbo to use, FJ T03 is good, better RB30 hybrid,
even a T28 would be nice on a L16 turbo. How do like the water injection
trick with the Ford water bottle, it's so easy to do and very inexpensive.
Turbo L's don't produce their best if you use a wild cam, a S1 L20B cam is
about perfect C1 U20 stamping, it's about identical to a L16SSS cam with
~25? 4 or 6 degree duration and ~.497" lift.
Have some fun with the L16 learning what works and what doesn't.
The L16 crank is cast. The L18 SSS engines that were fitted with high
compression pistons i.e. W blocks and most import L18SSS were fitted with a
machined crank that Nissan parts ppl (:- referred to as steel cranks - they
were sort after by the rally engine builders, at Lennocks we had a waiting
list in the old days. The 610SSS and some 710SSS were the only production
steel cranks in L powered dattos that I know of.
The L18W block has Siamese water jackets and about 25% more water capacity,
stronger rib bracing, basically and industrial strength block. The steel
cranks were fitted to some non W 610SSS engines in Australia, but these were
the exception rather than the norm.

Subject: Re: Turbo'd L series
g`day,
as i said before, when i get bored with this motor ill change to a bigger
Lseries. it wont cost very much to change from the l16 block to an l20 will
it, as for the rods they are L18 and have the 9mm bolts in them. ive changed
me brakes to the 200b ones for now, but am still lookin into a larger setup.
im not trying to build a perfect long lasting motor i just want somthin i
can cane the shit out off for a while with out costing a years income to
fit, but be able to replace/upgrade easily/cheaply when that time comes and
i dont think there is any other option as good as an Lseries.
if i can get anywhere near170hp from this i would be happy(for now).
Terry, you mentioned the L18w having a steel crank, whats the L16 crank
made from? and whats the difference between a SSS L18W and a non SSS L18W?
SSS nonW L18?
