1) you want to stroke the motor, then put a larger turbo onto it?

Its kinda pointless. You'd want to leave the stock turbo on there.

2) Converting an RB26 to RWD? What you mean? Its a simple case of bolting it to a gearbox.

I've certainly have no hassle, neither have the other countless people.

Also to think about is the layout of the 1jz... its opposite to an RB :D

So in effect, its more hassle as you have to have custom exhaust piping made, etc etc etc etc etc.

I cant see how you can pass that off as a "less hassle" alternative

hey

1) the turbo will be under less stress than the stock item, so theorectically it should be more reliable? i would also imagine that a 2510 wouldnt be too much laggier than a stock turbo. but the extra 400cc would help the spool rate of the larger turbo quite considerably, so again it would only take mildly longer (about 250-500 rpm) to spool than stock. no? people say that the 2510 spools very quick on a 1.8L and 2.0L. why wouldnt it be quick to spool on a 2.4L?

2) about the RWD RB26. your right it is the opposite and the effort put in to put in the get the 1J would probably be better off put into making the RB26 RWD. but it was just a passing thought as a few people have done it into the S13 chassis and even the S14 (Izumida) and have been quite successful. so i thought why not in an R32. its a better engine than the RB25. but thats not the point of this topic. if you want to tell me other wise PM me. I dont want to fill this post up with random stuff that isnt even related to the topic of getting more torque out of the RB20.

evertone complains about thr rb20 but seriously it goes for wat it is

maybe buy another car

I have to say i think that is the best option. Unless you reallty, really love your car, and/or you are very disciplined with the mods you are about to undertake and you don tget carried away...well modding things typically end up more expensive then first anticipated and you get nothing back for it...its twice as bad when you have to seek out the assistance of workshops who rightfullt charge what they do...modding cars can get expensive.

Ash...can you PM me who did your sump mods?

Cheers for the response.

So many suggestions!!! I think a straight RB25DET swap might be the easiest solution... I could even keep the RB20 turbo for an even quicker spool. :)

Or maybe I should just drop in a blown 1UZFE? :)

Or twin-charge the RB20? ;)

Or trade in for one of those single-turbo 1JZ chasers. They're ice :)

Anyways, it's time for me to think, do some research, check the finances, discuss with my mechanic... and break the news to my g/f that I'm not taking her to dinner and instead using the money to modify my car :)

Cheers all!

Can I ask what might be a silly question. Understanding they are a full on race motor. But how do rally cars get their crazy torque figures, also considering they are apparently on a limit of 300hp... I mean they are 2L engines as well 4cly yes but still. Its BUCKET load more torque. Im quite happy with my RB20 90% of the time so it doesnt worry me. Im simply interested to know.

hi.. Captain tight arse here..

Can I give you an even cheaper option that will keep you happy for a while..

1.) $28 boost controller (Turbo tech) = $28

2.) block the bleed hole in the stock bov. = free

the boost controller doesn't have to increase your boost.. you can set it up so that the boost you have now stays where it is, but it keeps the wastegate shut for longer giving you a faster spool up.

the bov mod does the same sort of thing.. that little hole the constantly circulates air, makes the boost come on smoothly.. therefore slowly.

block it with a flat head screw and bolt the thing back on..

car will build boost even faster so you can actually have some low down movement.

$30 and 1 hour of your time will be worth it..

I agree, but I'd be adding boost

14 psi, with one of those $20 valves and then go from there

I have spent 120,000kms driving my R32 in peak hour traffic and with a bit of a boost up, its much more drivable

Or go buy a auto R31 and use that as your daily, and enjoy 8000rpm of RB20 on the weekends

Why would you keep the stock turbo if you want grunt?

there is literally no balls with the stock turbo..

go and getyourself the new GT-SS atleast.

im failing to see how putting on a larger turbo is going to increase low-end response

Did you even read the topic?

I have been in an R32 with a RB20DE with a toyota 1ggze supercharger running 13psi.

It had a suprisingly large ammount of punch off the mark and good midrange power...

If you want to keep it cheap and can do the work yourself, Take off the head and get it decked to raise the compression to close to 10:1 and get some good extractors and a toyota supercharger. (sc16?)

It will only put out 170rwkw. but with a really nice torque curve. Then if you want more power to the ground at lower revs put an auto diff ratio in:)

have a look at the link above and it might give you a few ideas :D

Good luck

I have a spare Rb20 bottom end, and this is something I have long thought of doing with it, only I have nowhere to store parts and play with cars as im in a unit these days. Buy a cheap R32 GTR crank that noone wants because of the oil gear drive.

Some cheap GTR rods with the cheapest “new” rod bolts I can find. And then possibly some bearings if required. The very minimal in way of machining to ensure the cranks swing clears the block and you have yourself a $600 RB2.15L with longer stroke and capacity for a little more torque. The only concern is what difference is there in piston height between the std RB20 piston and the aftermarket pistons that are generally used in the stroker RB20 kits????

Like I said I have a spare block, and head can be picked up for $150. It would be interesting, but any money spent on me playing with this would only take away from my gearbox fund so ….

I saw a rb25det with gearbox for $3,200 in the forsale section of the forums the other day buy this install it and sell your RB20DET engine and gear box. This would be a good upgrade and if you deside you want more power down the track you have a gear box that will be able to handle it. RB20 boxes and a lot weeker then RB25 boxes.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
