Rb20de

[Rancher]

Hello again all!

In about 3 weeks I'm going to lose my licence for 6 months (I was on a good behaviour licence, and the defected my exhast and I lost the one point )

Anyway,

So I have 6 months to slowly do something to my car. Can I have suggestions as to what to do to the engine, like Id like to fully rebuild it slowly and as money prohibits, so what sorta things should I be doing whilst its apart so squize a few more ponnies out of her.

Exhaust is already done (Which I bottomed out, and flattened my nice shiney tip), timing is great, Injectors are WAY too much!.

Ideas on what other peopel have done, cost's, where to buy stuff like that would be great! Thanks

swap it for a rb25de. there is really no point in building a rb20de up. you will get such small gains for the heap of money you will put into it. it will cost the same to do the swap as it will to modify a rb20de and you will have more power and more torque

Strap a turbo to the side of it, or nitrous it, a nice wet 50hp should do it sweet, fairly safe too! That costs around $1000 to do, best bang for buck you can get:)

Yeah but NOS isnt legal for the street... I would swap it out for a rb25de or even a rb20det...sooooooo cheap these days

But the NOS kit itself isn't illegal is it? Your just not allowed to have a bottle hooked up unless your at a track or somewhere like that. I think that's how it is in WA anyway.

Thats correct. Nitrous can be installed in your car, as long as the nitrous bottle is not hooked up to the end of it... everything is a risk though these days. Lowering a car too low is illigal, so is getting wheels 2" bigger, and so are loud exhausts to name a few. As long as you dont act stupid your very unlucky to get caught. But in the end its your choice, best bang for buck mod and i would definetly reccomend it:) Specially for a NA.

Hey Rancher. Looking at your avatar, I would say you’d want a air box around your filter. It's also beneficial to duct some cold air into there as well.

There's no point trying to get more power out of a motor if your plugs are crappy, so some new sparks and a general service of the engine can help too. Extractors can add that little bit more too, if you haven't already done them.

Once everything is in top shape, I would recommend getting the car dyno tuned, you may be surprised how well a good RB20DE can go.

Finally, and the cheapest mod of all, weight reduction.

The one thing the 2ltr really hates is weight, as the motor isn't as torquey as the bigger RB's. A light R32 GTS can really give higher-powered Skylines a run for their money.
