If I remember the ad right, he was getting 40+mpg with that engine. Also, you may notice it's right hand drive.

40mpg is nice and everything..................... call me crazy but i'de rather spend $50 a week and smoke anyone and everyone on the highway than spend $50 every two weeks chittychittybangbang'n it wherever i go. If i were him i would have done the same thing though. Everybody has there reasons for doing what they do............................. even if they do wrong.

I guess I missed the part where his turbo diesel was slower than a stock NA.

i dont really know how fast it is but i can make an educated guess. I'm leaning toward slow but turbo deisels are making a come back. The winner of this years 24 hours of LeManz was the audi tdi (i think). V12 turbo deisel. It was funny to watch and listen. All the other cars are loud as all hell but when the audi drove by it was dead silent. If you had your eyes closed you couldn't tell when it went by.

Before making any more A$$-U-mptions about diesels, may I suggest you watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kfd3A7KFko

woh woh woh................ don't get the wrong idea! I never said i din't like deisels. Like i said i think deisles are making a comback. And I like the PINKS footage (and I'm not being sarcastic). Just to let you know, I've always been a ford fan and probably will always be but when I saw that episode of PINKS with the Dodge cummins deisel and the Mustang, I was rooting for the Truck 100%! I've always liked the sound of an idling deisel. Even the idea of how it works. Also like I said, I was rooting for the Audi TDI in the LeMans race too. But these engines are tuned by the best of the best which is why they are fast. And your right i did make an assumption about the Z with the t.d.. I ASSUMED it hadn't been tumed by a true professional and therefore assumed it was slow.

Accualy, I took another look at that video and it's not the same one as pink's but the same thing though if i remember correctly. It might not have even been a mustang but what ever the truck was racing i was still rooting for the truck. It's been a while sence i've seen the video so i'm not 100% what kind of car was racing.

It doesn't have to be tuned by a professional. It just has to be worked on by someone who has a clue. And your first post about a diesel in a Z31 infered that the turbo diesel was an inferior motor. Which, depending on the circumstances etc is NOT true.

Does anyone know if they ever turboed the LD28 from the Maxima?

Post by **evildky** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 8:52 am

I just noticed you quoted me in your sig

as for turbo the LD28I thought it sounded like a good idea but seems most people just stick the longer LD crank into an L28 block and go either high compression N/A or turbo low compression from there depending on piston head and gasket selection

I love that quote. My Brother loves his first gen rx-7. But after getting beat by me at the track and destrying his diff the last time he decided to get a z32tt just to beat me.

As for the ld28 crank... that's one of my asperations. I had just never heard of anyone trying to turbo it. thought it might be interesting.

Post by **evildky** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 6:42 pm

I know when putting the boost to the L28ET the head studs and pistons quickly become weak points, and diesels depend on pressure alone to ignite the fuel that they are gonna be roughly double normal compression ratios so a turbo would have to have upgraded head studs and pistons assuming they used crappy torque to yield bolts and cast pistons like their gas counterparts and the deisel uses direct fuel injection so to get the increased fuel you'd need larger diesel injectors and I am gonna doubt they interchange with any other popular models but lets say it's gonna require a bit of work to get big enough injectors into the head, and then f course you need much more fuel pressure due to the nature of direct ignition on a turbo high compression engine, so my theory says you can do it but it's be cheaper and easier to swap in a bigger more powerful diesel engine?
