1. What awesome nismo gauges? are you talking 300km/h speedo or something?

2. GTR gearbox has a transfer case for the 4wd. An upgrade for you RB20 box is an RB25 box out of an R33.

3. I doubt a 26 head will fit and why would you want to? 300rwhp out of an RB20 would need more fuel, bigger turbo, bigger injectors, management etc. Would be easier to start with an RB25..

Just to give you a bit of an example.. my car has a front mount cooler, split dump pipe, 3" exhaust and an RB25 turbo running 12.5psi. As far as engine work, this is all I'm doing to the RB20. I am saving up for a 25 engine/box/halfcut as the money on new turbo etc would be better spent with better gains on the RB25.

Hey Luke

Best replacement for an RB20 gearbox would be an RB25 as bubba said.

As far as getting 300rwhp goes, its fairly achievable but just depends how much you want to spend.

I'm going to be aiming for the same sort of power and this is a rough idea what you would need.

- Bigger turbo, and there is a forum member, SLIDE, that does awesome highflows for a great price. That will be enough to get you there. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=153972

- 3" turbo back exhaust, could easily find on 2nd hand on the forums

- Bigger fuel pump, also can be found on the forums. Cheap replacement like a WALBRO, or something decent like a 2nd hand GTR pump, or a BOSCH 040 is pretty cheap new these days (roughly $240), will be sufficient.

- Front mount intercooler. There are some alright kits going on the forums. Justjap do one for $345 + postage. 600x300, that includes all the piping. Pretty good upgrade.

- Some type of engine management, so either getting the standard ECU retuned, or getting a Power FC for example, or a WOLF, HALTECH etc etc that will do the job! Plug and play is probably the best option, so something like WOLF 3d or a PFC, as you wont have to pay for installtion, and you can use all your existing sensors without chopping up your loom.

Stock injectors will take you there, and an aftermarket clutch wouldnt hurt. Something like an EXEDY HD brass buttom can take up to 300rwkw, will set you back about $400- $500 new off the forums. Not installed obviously.

RB20 box will be strong enough, depends how you treat it, same with stock clutch.

Have a read of the thread below, it shows some power figures for RB20's and the modifications done to achieve those figures. Will give you a good idea of what works, and what doesnt.

Just a bit of information that is useful, IMO. Good luck with it all, keep us posted.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
