this morning i was down the goldy with noel picking up his car bits, and this arvo i was sleepin, u actually woke me up when u called :thumbsup:

Geez, I don't even get a mention?

You're walkin to Noels for sure.

Hey Noel....you want me to bring over my BBQ? I ported it a couple months back. Flame grill FTW!!!

y, it wasnt my stuff i was sand blasting and cleaning :laugh:

hahaha....oh and rb25 FTW!!

and ys that? :blink:

Hey every1 i new on here

so n e 1 wna make frnds wit me :P

:rolleyes::wub::bunny:

:P jokes jokes

welcome to this here sau, also check out www.sauqld.com :yes:

yo..

please educate my friend.. im trying to convince him/her that a 1jz engine is a far better choice than a RB25 neo/RB26DETT..

for say a 180/silvia or a project car..

stock for stock or modified.. im done trying to convince him...

I was almost convinced this was the case too Marki but since i have started sniffing around motor sport circles I have heard of plenty of the 1 and 2j donks that have shit themselves. Apparently another phurphy is the story about the forged bottom end. According to one 2j owner I spoke to its nearly all bs. Forged pistons yes but thats about it. and lets face it, pistons dont make a bottom end.

Given the amount of parts and info on the rb I wouldnt hesitate to mod one again and if this one doesnt go the distance (which I am sure it will) I will find out why not and rectify it.

yep.

but u tend to see that the general JZ engine has far supirior oil dispurtion and coolant circulation.. make that bit more power standard block..thats standard to standard.

but i knw what ur talking about with just istons being forgies...

with the SR20.. u cna have a full forged engine but in the end u still got a weak alloy block and they dnt see more than 700ponies :rolleyes:

It's hard to convince him because it's not just about 'the engine'. Reliability is important of course but you aren't taking into acount ease of installation, availability of parts etc. And don't just write of RB's like that either. Yeah sure the JZ is a well designed engine but 90% of RB engine failures are tune related. Too many tuners who do a half arsed job. It'll bring the strongest engine to it's knees.

At the end of the day, like Dan said, it's not the debate of which engine is strongest in stock form, it's pretty well documented that the JZ is probably trumps in that department. But the effort involved is rediculous when looking at the comparison of swapping either engine. The conversion is no longer unique, its been done a few times before and for the extra cost involved you could have a tougher RB.

ok

im diagnosing why im getting nothing much from the RB20..

its got a Z32 AFM with standard ecu..?

does that work.. from my understanding the Z32 has a different voltage correct..?

with it cranking over im not getting the injectors to open and close (electronically)?? using a test light and checked i off Inj #1 while cranking. i have fuel flow, ignition (diagnose by playing with the ignitor) enough to splutter but not keep on going..

cas seems good. so im shooting for fuel..???

anyone..

The other thing you could try is to remove the return line from the reg and turn on the ignition. If there is not enough pressure to bypass the reg, then you will never start it.

Then check spark. I can test your coil packs, PTU and injectors with an ignition tester I have but you should make sure you are getting power to everything first. Chuck a noid light on the injectors and see if they pulse. The Z32 AFM won't work on the standard ECU as it has a different resolution, but I'm not 100% on whether it will stop it from running completely. If you get stuck......I'll happily buy the car from you for $1

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
