hey guys i have a few questions to ask regarding my nissan skyline r32 GTS4.. its the same as a GTS skyline except it has all the running gear of the GTR except the gear box and engine, so its 4wd..

in regards the the perfromance how much power is the stock rb20 engine capable of????

how much power can the GTS 4 gearbox withstand????

i have just purchased a 600 by 300 front mount by trust and i am hutning for a turbo which would be better suited for my car a 600hp T/3 T/4 trust or 370hp T28..

i was talking to someone who said i can get a piggy back type chip from a genuine nissan type dealer in melbourne for like 1000 bucks has anyone got one or heard of them???

what else am i going to need to make my car run efficently in regards i think i am going to need a fuel pump, injectors(wat size), possibly cams is there anything else..

any information would be helpfull as i am right in the process of gettin this stuff done the sooner i know the sooner i can go buy and enjoy my car lol

thanx guys also any other information regarding my car would be helpful in regards to parts and places i can get them from..

cheers jeremy

Stzrt by looking in the rb20 sticky section at the top of the page, anything up to about 250rwkw is about the limit of streetable power, although at this level expect it to be quite laggy. I believe the gearboxes are similar to gtr ones, so you wont have any problems there. Depending on what power output you are after, look at the rb20 guide, there is heaps of turbo selections avail, you just have to weigh up lag versus power. There are two guys on here who can do chips, no where near $1000, lot cheaper, or you could get a power fc for about $1600. You will need injectors, gtr ones are cheap and go straight in, a gtr fuel pump will do nicely, cams and gears aren't a bad idea, but ive seen 276rwkw without them. Use the search function it will save you a lot of time. The biggest problem you will have is that it is only a 2lt, and to make big power, you get big lag.

thanx mate i had a rough idea that 260kw was kinda the limits of the stock engine.. i have been contemplating putting in an engine transfer but the offer of a sponsor for my car parts came up so i didn't have to pay much to get more power..

much appreciated adriano

250-260kw out of a rb20 is going to be a lag MONSTER!

as for the ecu, just get a remap done of the stock ecu.

my recomendation though is to drop the rb20 out and put a turbo rb25 in. they are much easier to make power out of without being too lagy.

    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
