I'm not really sure, but I reken the best way to look at it is to compare the difference between the non-turbo and turbo gearboxes across the nissan range. RB30E to RB30ET and RB25DE and RB25DET.

If you can't find any information comparing the RB20DE to the DET gearbox then try and find some information on the differences between the gearboxes listed above to try and give you some indication.

None....they are exactly the same.

[T04GTR]

there both the same "strength"

hell a series 1 bluebird with a l20b is the same(gears etc)

the turbo one is less prone to breaking from abuse because its got twin synchros on 2nd and 3rd.

[SteveL]

There's an echo in here.

The double synchro design makes no difference to the strength of the gears.

[T04GTR]

yes it does, the gears dont just break. they break because of the shock loading when you jamm it in gear ie: crunch it.

if it doesnt crunch it will last a long time. if it crunches then smash. end of story.

so the gears are the same. but the twin synchro is stronger because of the above reason.

ps. after doing 12 boxes in my dr30 i got used to knowing how and when the would pop. l series,fj,rb. the rb lasted the longest. all same gears
