What is the highest HP L-series ever?

searched and couldnt find a devinate answer

HP for turbo.....

HP for N/A......

 

In stock form, the 240Z through 280ZX (non-turbo) ranged in hp from 135 to 150 or so. I believe the turbo 280ZX was rated around 180-190 hp.

 

thats stock but iv seen rebello engines pull some nice numbers for n/a . for turbo im not sure. they have people running in the 11.s and faster on both n/a and turbo engines. so hp can be made just gotta have the money

 

I've seen information on NA of 280whp and turbo of around 550whp. Both L28

 

have you ever seen or herd of the tough as nails cast iron L series block blowing up, cracking, breaking a piston or bending a rod, in my whole 2 years i have barely even herd of one blowing a head gasket(but who would want any one to know about that?)

 

iv seen L's blow head gaskets. why alot of people when doing a major turbo build do metal gasket. yes its a cast iron block so cracking is kinda hard to do BUT it can be done. rods are pretty stout but can be upgraded. you can get forged pistons for any application (great upgrade) these engines can go +200,000 miles b4 a rebuild. they are beefy but a constant thrashing on one will shorten lifespan.

 

Haz u evah hurd of useing SEARCH or www.google.com ?

I'm sure in the 40 years of the L motor NO ONE has ever asked how tough they are or how much hp one can get them to put out........

 

but he DID search. he never found the DEFINITIVE answer. unfortunately, the L series HP registry (HP registration is required by law) is not kept online. someone on here should have access to the most recent list.

 

guess not...

 

the highest i saw i think LWW posted was a little over 600 whp L motor running a GT42 and like 20 something PSI and ITB's and the whol shabang.

 

Look on hybridz, theres a few 800hp ones. Must cost a fortune though.

 

i wonder what that guy that had the twin turbo L with the DOHC KA Frankenhead was pushing.

 

what happened to that dohc L series that was all over youtube?

seems mighty complicated to mess with what the datsun gods made and get away with it...

 

diesel crank over bored twin turbo dohc more buzz words make ba-jillion hp

 

I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say it's sitting in a car, in the owner's garage.

 

hopefully, i never saw a vid of the car fully finished with the turbos

 

I saw the car in person on April 27, 2008
It was complete, running condition, and painted.

 

lucky, gosh!

 

it has shocks and pegs too!

 

shut up Tina eat your dinner!

 

hey Tina you fat lard, come get some really bad 280zx videos

 

hey kip, get me some chapstich to rub on that rusty spot on your left front 1/4 pannel! gosh!

 

I think those are called FENDERS. Quarter panels are in the rear.

 

i was a usin NASCAR terms to try to be all fancy like

 

I dunno what Nascar you've been watching...
