i doubt there would be a tutorial because tuning a rb20det into a rb20de isnt a common thing to do

it would be much easier to sell what you have and get the na version, but for what ever reason you have to do it then your going to have a slow na rb20

Just rip the turbo off, get appropriate sized bolts and plug up the coolant and oil feeds on the block that use to feed the turbo, then get a na exhaust manfold and then connect that to the rest of your exhaust system.

Then from the inlet manifold get some pipe to go over the engine to the passenger side of the enginebay, connect you afm upto it and then it should be done.

I would adjust you cas and put some more igntion timing into it to regain some sort of performance.

Its going to be slow and bad on fuel for the perfomance you get.

its a lot of work and money for a stupid result

i know chi is selling an n/a rb25de engine for $500 with intake plenum and headers

would be much cheaper as you need to replace the pistons and gasket to bring the compression up on the det engine

and it would need to be tuned.. just not a good idea

I was looking too to do this to my RB20DET.

What you need is:

N/A exhaust manifold

NA ECU

NA Intake pip (without BOV)

NA intake box

Block oil and coolent lines to turbo from block

Remove SMIC

And I think you also need to play around with the ECU loom aswell :D

This could cost you anywhere up to $500 in parts + Labour or time

Then your cars compression ratio is very low due to to it being set up for a turbo..

Your going to have a low comp. NA 2L. Not pretty. To change this you need to change over pistons..

Put simply.. not worth it.

As said above.. Buy yourself an RB25DE ECU + Loom. Youc an find some pretty good example at a fair price. Then you could always go back to turbo with a 2.5L..

Or drop in a VQ35DE :ninja:

find someone with an RB20det that wants to turbo it, and do a swap with cash YOUR way. You get ur engine, they get theres, you get enough cash to fund the mechanic to do the swap.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
