Ive been looking around and its pretty hard to find an rb20det over 400hp, is it because its really hard to do or isit because nobody wants to do it? If any1 has an rb20 with over 400hp or even ones hovering around the 380 mark tell us how they drive and how it was to do !!! come on need some love for the old 2 litre engine ! (2.2, 2.4 exepted aswell :thanks:)

here u go read this thread (78 pages of it ) its a thread deadicated to the rb20 engines

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/To...60r-t58229.html

im really interested in it cause i hear alot of ppl saying that there nearly imposible to get over 400rwhp but then u get the SR20 vs RB20 ppl saying that the rb20 is better, so if the rb20 cant get over 400hp clearly that would make the sr20 the better engine?..... i just want some hard facts about high powered rb20's as i do love them and i have a fairly worked 1 my self

edit: reading that link now cheers bro

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
