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

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
