RE: L/Z conversion

[Terry Rudd]

Dave,   The pistons are all that's used to control the CR - Most Nissan engines especially L series are like this. All of the L20B heads (U67, V91) are 45.1cc chamber volume which is the same a a Z18ET head.   The Bluey L20B's have a different oil filter mounting i.e. the filter sits vertical. The S2 has an electronic dizzy and has an Aussie block and as Trevor says it has the V91 head. The 200B update block would probably be the best for a turbo but the early version wouldn't be real bad either. Zac's got a running 200B Turbo and I'm sure he would be better than me for advice on this one.   I'm nearly sure that both 200B's had Japanese castings (easy to check before you buy) The early 200B ran from 10/77 - 7/79 and the update ran from 8/79 - 4/81 but there are exceptions as the SSS and Wagon were both imported and I don't know the finer details of their engines. My guess is that all of the imports had the earlier spec Japanese engine.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Costello Sent: Wednesday, 9 January 2002 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: L/Z conversion thanks terry I guess my next question would be how do I tell the differences between them all, It's for turbo use using a Z18ET head, is it the heads or the pistons that effect the compression ratio's in L20's? If it's the pistons then I wanna get the one with the lowest compression, if it's the heads then it doesn't matter what compression it is, I'll just want the one with the strongest block.   Dave   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
