I have bought a RD28T, which i will use to replace my worn out RD28 running in a MK2 Zephyr. My question is, should i go to the bother of fitting an intercooler? There is loads of room to do it but is the gain worth the effort? Also, what is the best type of head gasket to use? My old engine has a ...

I ended up taken out number 3 injector which is the one that was missing. Had it tested and apparently it was fine. Fitted it back into the engine and its is now running fine again. I am not sure what fixed the problem, but its back to normal apart from a very faint miss under deceleration at low ...

Yeah it does knock when missing, the injectors are due for a service.

EGR was blanked off ages ago. Put some clear hose in the line and it did seem to have a few bubbles very slowly creeping through, but when i put it on a quite fast idle for quite a while it went fine, no smoke and no miss. But when i put it back to idle it ran good for a while then back to the ...

My RD28 has just started missing slightly and smoking at idle. Seems to come right once the revs get up a bit. Put a new fuel filter on today, but no change. Checked fuel lines for visible leaks. Is there a leak letting air into the fuel maybe??? I recall having that problem ages ago, is there a ...

Have been researching fitting a turbo to my RD28, and have learnt plenty about the factory turbo engines. I am now thinking i might buy all the turbo equipment in oz and fit to my Naturally Aspirated RD28. That is: injectors, injector pump, manifolds, intercooler, turbo,etc. Can anyone tell me what ...

I will try and find an 18 valve RD28, the engine recon guys in oz will know, will email them, have seen a couple of funny looking rocker covers on Gumtree(thats the Oz Trademe). Take a look around there the RD28TD i engines pop up regularly, they are always getting replaced by the 42 in the GU ...

I have a non turbo Series1 RD 28 that i want to turbo charge. Nissan Safaris came out with RD28 with factory turbos, if i score all the manifolds , intercoolers etc can i bolt on this equipment and make my engine perform better. From the info i have seen in Aussie, there are significant differences ...
