So the way the wheels work what kind of lag would you expect to see from an A/R .82 on a HKS 3037 or the garrett twin GT3071R ...

I would say it wont start to really pull until 5,200rpm. Because thats a large turbo for a 2L dont be afraid to go smaller on the exhaust side. Remember it has a large turbine wheel.

For instance i run about a 0.73 exhaust housing on my turbo and my wheel is a bit smaller. My setup is a bit of a fluke in that it works so well. So with a GT30 based turbine i would happily use a housing in the 0.6X range for the little RB20. The i would expect it to really pull at about 4,500-4,650rpm provided it is tuned and set up well.

Thanks for the help Roy i get ya now :P .63 would prob be the best option for it then i think 5k is a bit too laggy... lol 4-4.6k revs is ok but any more than that its kinda waiting too long fora street car/drift.

Hey guys,

Just got the pics of the block after coming back from being machined out to 83mm Bore

Walls are still pretty thick so there doesnt look like any worries there. We are waiting for the Eagle rods to come back from being bushed to suit the 20mm pin, once they come back we can mock it up and check the compression, Most likely we will have to send the clock away again to be decked.

I have been also looking at paulr33 powerfc mod to use as the ecu for the build.

Cheers

this is exciting for me!!! i just stuffed my rb20det... either warped head or the head gasket blew.... or what ever else could be the cause of my 3rd cylinder to be full of coolant. So im trying to decide to rebuild it to rb24 or get a 30det.....

Cant wait to see the results!!!

Thats not good to hear dude, Rb30 will be very torque happy, rb24 is different thats why i went that path

The bottom end should be together in the next fortnight, so i will post some pics up when thats done, to date total cost of the engine is around the $6000 mark with ecu, plenum, fuel rail to come.

I have just fitted the new exhaust system to the car Greddy PEII cat back stainless system

Its hard to say how much its all cost as this project has been going since december, so i will try list the parts

Pistons $1500

Rods $750

HKS cams $880

HKS Cam G $320

N1 Oil pump $430

N1 W pump $350

Block-Head $400

Valves $1100

ARP Head $130

ARC bearings $170

Injectors $660

RB26 Crank $450

Tomie gasket $350

Rod rebush $321

Machining $360

Est Total without labour $8171.00

There just the rough prices of all the items to give you an idea of the build so far to date

Edited by murrayis

Not sure on the part numbers for the water pump as i havent seen it yet, and yea might as well do it properly the first time, because it will cost more if you blow a rod and have to start from the block up again.

Well just an Update.

Engine progress has slowed down atm because we are waiting for rings for the pistons to arrive from Melbourne, Also getting some ACL race bearings.

But I am also looking at selling my turbo setup as its not going to be anywhere need large enough for the engine build, If anyone is interested it consists of

Garrett 2876R .86 Rear

Low mount manifold modded to suit this turbo

Custom Dump pipe

Braided oil feed line

Speedflow connections

Oil drain, Water feed and return lines

I am looking for between $2000 - $2200 for the lot in Brisbane

On another front i got a lil bored on the queens birthday weekend so i made myself a new guage setup, its a lil rough but doesnt matter as its goign to be covered when the interior gets done.

I am still trying to find/decide on which ecu to go for, i am thinking of giving Adaptronic a try i have heard many good things about them and what features they have for there price.

i have seen (turbo CRX) and heard quite a few good things about the adaptronic (as a budget alternative) too, i may try to get hold on one to have a play with. Let me know how you go.

Ive driven an RB24DET (stupidly expensive tomei RB24), and it definitely still feels like an RB20 to drive. Even with only 230rwkw (maxxing the turbo), it is still a nugget below 4000 (due to RB20-ness, not turbo lag). Rev limiter is set to 9000, but runs out of puff by 7500.

Im interested to see how this one drives. After spending $20,000 on his setup, my mate says he would have been much happier with stock RB25 with some basic bolt-ons.

An update, Started designing a plenum for the engine, drew it up in cad and its currently at the laser cutters being cut out of 4mm alloy

Making it out of 4inch tube and some cut to size plate, pretty simple yet hopefully should be effective

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
