have you tried a nissan forum?

i think you'd have a better chance there...


these motors came out of pulsar's or something? sounds interesting, got any pics?

[slide86]

probably similar to a 3TGTE

same type of engine......

they seem more like the ancestor to a CA
they're a RWD motor.

i wouldn't expect good fuel economy.
likely to be lag monsters too - like FJ20's.

i searched for you a bit, they are based on the L series, except they're crossflow, i believe they came out in the jap version bluebird trx's

have a search on them, and that might bare some results...

Cos i have - i am considering between the L16 - and the Z18ET engine ..
and of cos i got a 1G-Fe onmy Ruby celica , 2T on my black celica and a not sure what engine on my White GT ta22 ( ra21 ? )

i am considering to swap it to a 4aGE - but seem like this Z18Et is very intresting also - TWIN PLUG with 8 spark plug - Turbo .. 1.8 . hm.. this is very much the car forum i come on most offen . andknow not of any nissan forum whahaha

I think This would be the last of any more car i am buying .. after this .. cos plus my father and my brothe rcar - the house is pack with 6 car - so i need to consider what is in ..

i also considering a Silvertop 20v no idea if it would work with a Datun stanza Violet sss GT
IF not would be a SR20DE

This is so far what i know ..

IS a 1.8 Turbo .
used on Bluebrid 910 .. and Silva ( early 1980s ) The engine is made 1982

that very much what i find been on it for the whole morning

I can't find any info on the FUEL CONSUMPTION

L16 - had a 22MPG
Z18ET - ??? MPG
