dog box might be up for sale Roy

once the "lay shaft"(bit beyond my knowledge sorry) is fixed.

From what I understand the stock lay shaft was retained to keep the box quiet but it meant that it would break every now and then savage rises in torque and power will do that

the box is at ppg getting this replaced I believe

stock bottom end my arse hat

1400r,

unsure if its your mates or not.

A couple of days ago Shaun (Boostworx) had an rb20 with a t88 strapped on the side of it. Made around 346rwkw?

Hows it boost in the first 2 gears?

None the less thats a rather impressive figure.

Having recently looked at some RB20 rods, they look to be strong things. The pistons, well who knows how strong they are, if car is tuned well and its not stressed for long durations????

The bearings will cop a beating, but again the piston speeds etc are relatively low because of the short storke ... i would not be surprised if its a freshened stock bottom end?!?!?!

If i can get an answer on piston sizes i have given myself a $500 budget to build up my spare motor and see what power/revs the pin come sout of the grenade

When I blew my original rb20 up I took a good look at the rods and I would think they could probs take a fair beating and all.

My 1st impression was "bloody hell they are short rods.

I would think that the bottom end if new(or good nick) could take a close to 300rwks for quite some time. As long as there was no det and gas temps were kept down a bit. The 8.5 cr would help alot too.

Of course this is just an opinion and I could be far from the mark.

Oh well.

    • So, what did you decide? If these items were going in and out of stock, you could at least order the two in-stock pieces. Also, I'd say the stock bit of airbox isn't that restrictive to your NA motor. To test if it is, fit a vacuum gauge between the airbox and throttle body. At WOT do you measure any vacuum?
    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
