I got a r32 very cheap (2000) because it was not complied & needed a turbo to get it complied. I have a friend who gave me everything to convert mine to turbo & its now complied (he went rb25/30 & had it all sitting there) but I'm wondering how hard it will be to make good power (about 200rwkw).I will be doing all the usual mods but was wondering if anybody else here has done it & how much boost can they run etc.

I did the same thing to an old na VL about 6 years ago. it made 175 hp with 7.5psi. made it with a stock na ecu, auto and injectors. It was no power house, but the higher than turbo compression ratio made it snap onto boost at about 2100rpm. it had a very flat power curve and very strong torque. the only thing i had to do was reset the timing to 10.5 degress (because of the na ecu). it made 207 hp on 9psi with water methonal injection. No intercooler.

Wot i'm saying is this, anything with a sound mechanical base usually works fine. Stressing an na engine a fair way may require some careful thought and planning.

I would check rod and piston strength, injectors wont make the 200kw so they will be goin anyway, ecu has to go get tuned or swapped. cams? valve springs could pose an issue.. the list goes on..

Any other thoughts.. :)

Dont hear of the RB20 being NA--> turbo that often.

In a sense it wouldnt be too bad as the RB20 does have a fair hole.

If you limit it to 200rwkw the compression shouldnt becoming a major issue.

Tuning will be the key, as it is for any setup :)

Already checked out the rb20 upgrade thread quite a few times & have 440cc injectors on order,fmic,the car already has an exhaust,have a bosch 070 fuel pump & will run a surge tank,will get a bigger turbo in the next month or so,will just get the stock turbo computer & get it tuned (mine is still running the na computer),will get a split dump soon etc.Just wondering if the higher compression will affect how much boost I can run,will I have to keep it low or decompress it to wind some decent boost in?.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
