Toyota Equivalent Of Nissan L Series Engines?

[phil86]

As the title states I am wondering if there is a Toyota equivalent to the Nissan l series 6 cylinder engines? In particular the L28.

M or F series would be the closest. Any reason why you want to know though?

Maybe he has a really heavy boat, and an R series just isn't enough to anchor it

Lol very funny @7shades, just wanted to look into it. I like that its a bit more period correct. Thanks for your help irokin.

The 4AC an SOHC like the L16, & although the L isn't even crossflow the SSS had 15bhp more.

 

The 5M from the Cressida is the nearest to an L28, SOHC 2valve 2.8L on carbs.

Cool, I have had a look around, thanks for the help

M series is similar in that its an ohc 6 banger but in terms of reliability and range of aftermarket upgrades that'd be where similarities stop.

[phil86]

So I take by everyone's comments its a pretty pointless swap into a ke rolla? Just thought there may be a little bit of potential and at least it is period correct.

[ke70dave]

yeah definately pointless.

[philbey]

Better off just putting in a worked L series. 300hp potential AND still period correct....

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

Yikes, m series.

 

Really toyota had nothing to offer in comparison.

Didn't the old Supras have the 7M engine?

The engines in the MA61/MA70 Supras (5MGE 2.8L, 7MGE 3.0L) are way better than the L-series, both were DOHC and crossflow (the L-series was neither), and the 7MGE was 24-valve as well. If you wanted to replicate the design and figures of an L28 in a Toyota engine you'd have to drop down to the 5M-E (which we unfortunately got in the Australian MA61 instead of the 5MGE, but at least it was still crossflow), at which point you might as well not bother.
