Well my rebuild is on the way.

if anyone remember's i blew my little two litre engine at the phillip island sprints not too long ago

turned out that my head gasket blew and filled the cylinder with water then BANG!!!

too much boost... car was pulling 238.8rwkw with low compression.

so ive finnaly got my mechanic to start the rebuild... ha ha with a few extra goodies...

i chose to re build the 20 because there is too much legal issues with change overs to the 25 or the 30

im happy with the power i had any how..

here's my mods

3 inch turbo back exhause with hi flow cat

gt30 450hp turbo

fmic

greddy boost controller

660cc denso injectors

high mount exhaust manifold

wolf 3d version 5 computer

k and n pod filter

new stuff im getting are as follows:

rebuliding with forged pistons

shot pinned conrods

plenum

cam

hi flowing the head

clutch

oil catch can

just wanted to know everyones opinions

is there anything else i should do while shes open???

Who told you that mate?

There would be less legal issues (as paul has alluded too) because sticking with a high mount is like painting a dogs balls bright orange :sorcerer:

Good luck with it either way :)

If you want advice on legalities or your concerns, shoot me a PM :P

I tend to agree with Ash and Paul.

Not too hard to fit an rb25 or rb26 with std ecu, get an engineer's certificate and epa approval, then fit the usual mods.

As previously stated; a high mount is probably the worst option, with regards to legality.

sorry boyz but i checked it all out to make the gts-t comply with the engineersyou need to change heaps of shit may as well go buy the gtr.

high mount i agree is a magnent buthow easy is it to change?

we all went through this before i started

if you guys read the post i wanna know what power you think she will make and if i should do anything else while shes open???

no mumbo jumbo crap about legal shit its been discussed in like 75% of all posts.

What cams and what does high flowing the head mean? Cleaned up ports, match porting, modified combustion chambers???

Depends on what pistons you are running, and whether you are usign good rod bolts etc, but i would say the engine on paper should be strong for 19psi and 250rwkws all day at 7,800rpm :D

yeah i reckon so too but my guess is ill put out around the 280rwkw mark on full boost maybe 22 23 psi only because my last engine was screwed with low compression thats why it wasnt makin power in the first place.

we'll see anyway but id be happy with 260kw all day long at 18 19 psi

the plenum will shorten the intercooler piping hi flowing/porting the head will allow more air flow in. im using the best parts in my engine ive left it to my mechanic on what to get but he said it will put out good power and be real strong. hes also deciding on the cam to bring spool up a little lower

depends if the plenum is shit or not.. u dont want a 25 cause of cop trouble but you highmount your turbs? i guarantee you the popo wouldnt be able to tell the difference between my 25 and a 20.. unless pettit busted my nuts.

i didnt want a 25 not because of cop trouble but because it would have cost soo much to get the engineers for it and i dont have all the stock parts of a 25 to change it back once its modded and i would have put my high mount/same turbo ect ect on the 25 anyway

thing is if i got epaed on the 25 with no engineers id be screwed completely

the way i have it now is i have all stock 20 parts if i get done i change it back cost is a little less.

to get an engineers on a 25 you need to do breaks gear box ect basically need to make the 32 up with all 33 parts.. well thats what the engineer told me to get it to pass

too much stuffin around rebuild for the 20 was cheaper anyway and i have more money to spend on performance parts.

cant wait to get my baby back on the road.

its gonna be a pretty tuff20 actually is that #plate taken?? sounds good

anyway it will turn heads i bet i pull 260 270 rwkw easy

we will see ill take bets if you's want $$$ put money down winner takes all

my bet is 260 @ 18psi

280 @ 22psi

Just a stab

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
