Hey Pete, ever thought of going standard pump as a pick up and a bosch 044 as a external pump with a surge tank?

Im thinking of doing something like this with my build. Should be more then enough fuel i should hope.

yeah but there you've got the inevitability of E85 and needing bigger injectors again like Joel said saturday might as well bite the bullet and get 1000's

yeah spoke to hime briefly on Sat about that.

He mentioned something about 800cc with twin sprays (not avail in 1000cc).

Don't think 400kw + E85 = 800cc unfortunately though

yeah I reckon you're right Luke.......to play it safe anyway

External Bosch is approx $250........have you checked out any decent surge tanks.........haven't really had the need to look into them until now.

ive never seen an rb20 set up like this :laugh:

rb20det Engine variations:

The rb20det came in two different forms, the earlier red top with the NICS system and the newer silver top version with the ECCS system. The red top is the earlier version of the rb20det and came as standard with the r31 skyline, z32 fairlady and the nissan laurel, whilst the r32 skylines and nissan cefiro came with the silver top version.

Just to confuse you more there were a few red top rb20dets with the eccs system, heres some engine power outputs.

RB20DET red top

1986-1987: 178bhp (NICS version)

1988-1989: 190bhp (ECCS version)

RB20DET silver top

1989 onwards: 215bhp

never seen that setup on a 20 too..would give better response as the piping is significantly shorter however i reckon that cooler would be getting major heat soak as my 20 generates quite a bit of heat ontop of the cam/rocker cover

Im thinking maybe get AM performance to make one up. If your keen to get one, we might be able to get two cheaper.

I'll have a look on some Jap sites to see if anyone makes them over there.

Z31 200ZR (basically the old school fairlady with povvo NICS Redtop RB20DET with top mount cooler)

Id rather poke myself in the eye with a rusty needle before driving another NICS RB20DET

as a mate of mine has in his msn name: NICS is japanese for FAIL

hey luke how much do hks 700cc (740cc??) usually go for????

just curious on the retail price compared to the price they gave me on them....

hey does the z32 afm have mesh on both sides? stupid question i know but just want to make sure before i buy.. im guessing it doesnt but not sure =/

yes they do im guessing your looking at a ebay job they normally tear off the mesh to clean the wire buyer beware :/

Craig, i had a Redtop NICS in my 31 a few years back

nothing but issues, and a poor breather of an engine (the fingers of the inlet runners are about half the size of a silvertop 20det runner...........not cool). i think i made a massive 76rwkw with a RB25 turbo strapped to it that was making 5psi LOL

oh yeah, and once i popped it and stripped it for parts to sell, this is all i had left

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
