The engine is a GREAT engine. The L24-L28 are essentially the same engines but with different strokes and bores. The turbo is wonderfully laggy. My butt dyno tells me that the turbo engine has much more guts than the KA.
T, the L28et is essentially a direct bolt into the S30 chassis... (which is what I'm doing)

No L28's are not great they are rev-less wonders. They are worse than KA24's. besides being a L series engine thats about it. The cams are different, they do have larger valves which they need. The pistons are not flat top like in the L24. L28 pistons are dished. The stock L28 puts out only 30hp more than a Stock L24 and for that extra 30 hp you have a engine that peaks out around 5000-5500 rpm. VS the L24 producing power all the way up to 6500 rpm and revving nicely while at it.
Ya yours is turbo but its a terrible turbo engine compared to RB20's,RB25's and RB26's. Why bother dropping a L28et into a S30 when you can easily drop a RB20DET, 25DET or even a 26DETT in and be way happier?
Face it, you own a early 80's car at a time when Nissan was more concerned with changing their name from Datsun to Nissan, in the United States. A big mistake on their part marketing wise I might add.
P.S. best thing you could do is drop a RB in it. Oh and Hyperteks pics, do make it look nicer. To bad we did not see much of that bodywork here in the states. It might have swayed my opinion a bit. LOL
