LD28 turbo T3 or not??

[nakimud]

Where have you guys tee'd off for oil feed and return? could it be done off the vaccum pump feed/return or is that just being rangi?

Oil feed to turbo-my turbo LD28 had a Tee fitting installed between the block and the oil pressure sender/sensor from memory.
oil return- mine had a nipple brazed onto the tin sump. i guess they removed the sump to do it. (The brazing might not be as much risk as the swarf from drilling the hole).

thanks, I was hoping to avoid having to take the sump off to put a fitting in it, but it seems most people go this way

I don't think nissan would change the block moulds when making the LD28 and LD28-T....To costly when one can do both...... There will be a drain back bung in the side of the block there somehwere.

I thought they were never officially made with a turbo?

The LD28T was originally designed as a Genset engine.

The LD28's biggest market was as an industrial, marine and forklift engine.

Turbo charged models were sold in japan europe south africa and aussie.

here is a 1985 laurel with a factory LD28T

yep they definately came out turbo'd.They are getting rare now cause the datsun boys strip em for the crank to go into a 3.1 stroker,with l20e rods and 89mm slugs.Waaay over engineered units,ive never killed an L28e or d.

Got a turbo manifold L20ET and Turbo, anyone know if these are a T3 and if the standard oil supply/drain kits will fit? also I need a dump pipe flange

What is the sensor screwed in the first photo? is it O2?
Can't wait to boost it!
