lol. nice experience .. if i got cash in my pocket,i will mark around with there rb30 or 25 or 20s to build up a monster. forget about sr20s. . . lol

skyline is the best. even through i broke 3 already. ~

thanks man,but this engine is pretty clean and got a rb25 turbo on it, i will think about upgrade to rb25, but what the difference between rb20 and rb25? is it larger means better? thanks.

Thats an RB20 turbo.

So that means that an "RB25 turbo" is not a reason you have to stay with an RB20

Unless your not talking about this engine

[dead32]

drop another 20 in it, i popped my motor. sorced another for $700 been boostin ever since, made jst under 200kw atw with bolt on's so id say its a decent motor

[R31 POWER]

I noticed that also SLIDE. Looks like a S2 RB20det turbo

[vcool]

never got a chance to know this turbo is rb20 or 25, i just been told it's rb25's turbo by the guy that sold the car to me, sorry for my ignorance. otherwise would beat him down..

still, chase after him and beat him down

theres nothing like the satisfaction of beating someone who has done the dodgy on u

there are soooooo many diff things u can do man, just go with what ur heart and wallet says

(a rb30/25 would be cool, but maybe u can only afford a rb20, u no what i mean)

[Cubes]

I vote to throw another cheap rb20 in.

Strip the bits off yours than you can. erm.. that would be only the oil pump, maybe the cams if they are not damaged.

Rip the cams out, be sure to follow the engine manual as how to do it.. What would you want for them? I'll send them off to get tested to make sure they are straight, I have a use for them.

[shanef]

Yep, remove them nice and careful, caus it's not a nice sound when u hear one go 'crack'

P.S andy (bunta on these forums) may have a complete RB25 for sale, chuck him a PM and ask

[vcool]

thanks for the ideas. cheers.

Hi mate , this is what you call dropping valves. Looks as though you are up for one piston , maybe a conrod if it has distorted , a set of mains and big end bearings because you will have the crank out, a quick crank polish and measure , if bore is lightly damaged a light hone or a bore out and then you will be up for a set of pistons and expensive machine work of boring all 6 cylinders. New gasket set complete .The head needs 4 new valves, guide work( i am not familiar with this engine so I do not know if head has guides.If so you might get away with slipping 4 new ones in. If you have not then head will be machined to accept guides. I could go on more but when you start something like this the more you go into it the more there is to fix if you want it done properly .Most important with this repair is to fix the CAUSE.

IM a mechanic with no Skyline experience but this engine works exactly the same as whats in Cat dump truck to Porsche 930. I hope I could help with some of the jargon.

cheers man, thanks a lot.

thats exactly what happened to my rb20 - thought of getting different engine but my car is gts4 so yeah just opted for a rebuild - cost me $1400 from my friend -i should be getting it back within the next 2 weeks

[RB30-POWER]

cheapest way out is to get another RB20 and dump it straight in.

good thing is they are only worth $700-$1000 these days.
