Most Powerful Rb20?


Recommended Posts

Well, for what must be about the most maligned Rb engine out there, it does ok. I mean over the standing half mile (where the rwd launch hurts vs AWD) , a Z-Tune on RE55s ran a 17.29sec, my little RB20 did ok to run a 17.98 at Shepparton Airport. A worked 996 Turbo did a 16.32...so its not just a peaky power figure either. For a 2L they can make a good spread of power and the dougy bottom end can be masked as its in a relatively light platform. No way you woudl want to be pulling any more then 1270kgs with only 2L.

There was a blue coloured R32 with stroked RB20 (RB24) that

I have seen for sale in Japan (built for dragracing) that produced

around 550ps.

Here's what looks like another stroked RB20 in a 180sx with a huge

T51R turbo and 600ps. Again the dyno's computer (laptop) has the dyno

chart -

Also there's a white R32 GTS-T with series 2 front bumper

(Australia) that produced around I think was roughly

319rwkw? with stock motor and roughly 358rwkw? with a

strengthened motor, cams, etc at a dyno competition. It

had RB25 gearbox, etc.

Here's another RB20DET in a S14 that produced around

335rwkw (449.8rwhp) -

I'm not 100% sure but I think that S14 dyno run was done

in Australia.

I wonder what a custom twin turbo setup would be like....maybe slap a couple of R34 N1s on running 24psi or something....im getting 322awkw with R34 N1s on 20psi in my GTR, I know the rb26 is probably a fair bit more advanced in terms of head flow and setup to achieve that easily but surely with only .6 of a litre capacity less you could still see some pretty good power figures with good spool time instead of a big single child eating turbo.

What does everyone else think?

Cheers!
