there are plenty of people who have done rb20/25/26 conversions in 180's/s13's that have sr20's..look to ns.com for the amount of threads on it. As to why a person with an R34 would put in an sr20, maybe for revs or weight distribution aid for track work? Who knows...why do some people put rb20's into calais instead of changing their rb30 head to twin cam..or even just modify the rb30? Because they do, maybe he wanted to be different? Bottom line i've seen more people put rb's into 180's/s13's than sr's into skylines etc. Try modifying an sr and an rb...dollar for dollar I think I know which one would produce the results. Otherwise we'd see many more cars with sr20 conversions (in cars other than nxr's and pulsars) :P

lol..

let me see.. i dnt knw anyone who has replaced ther SRwith and RB.. replaced a CA with an RB yes.. but never an sr.. correct me if im wrong.. but they like to use the CA18 S13 to put rbs in... yes cause the CA tail shaft fits nicely into the RB20 box..

also i believe ther is a green R34 GTT with a SR20 running around brisbane.. care to explain old chap..?

well name a RB powered car that didnt weigh around 1400kgs..

RB are cast iron blocks. heavy...

SR alloy.. booyah..

less weigh to push around.

Luke's green one... He had a built sr20 from his green S13, and thought why not. Last time I spoke with one of his business partners he was under the impression Luke said he should have just stayed with the Neo rb25 and not wasted the time in converting. Then again the built SR was already there..

Alloy isn't good in huge horse power motors... Then again it's not like we're talking 800hp+ here. The SR cam oil squirts are a poor design as well.

I can name a RB powered car that doesn't weigh 1400 kg mine weighs 1290kg with a near empty tank and all fluids according to the weigh bridge :P

and that makes pwned on two accounts so STFU ha ha :P

By the way I am making a a RB84 by running two patrol bottom ends with Tomei RB26 heads on a common crank

alright that's it!

I didn't want to resort to this but it seems as though I'll have to.

Twin RB56 joined at the base subaru style.

It's a RB112 Quad cam, twin crank, opposing 12 cylinder engine. It uses a 13B turbo to crank it over and an SR20 for A/C

I mean, SR is good for something right?

Hey don't dish the two flies and a flea, I have one at home...puts out 300hp so leave it alone, its old and has feelings.

Great thread guys, made my day...

Oh and for the record an RB26 weighs more than a twin turbo LS1, but yet makes less power and torque...go figure...no replacement for displacement...

yes, but then we all know 2j pwns all :worship:

also shit me i love getting 500kms per tank now. woot woot.. 4cyl economy..

you talk about economy of an almost stock 180sx, my 220rwkw rb20 was getting 550klms out its 55l tank. now thats economy.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
