Hey guys,

can anyone adive a work shop with a good reputation for building rb20 engines?

South Eastern direction, but don't mind travelling for good work.

Just after rough price for a stocker with forged pistons.

Any suggestions or examples would be great.

Cheers

You would get a better response if you posted in the Vic section.

You can try a number of places, from Creatd, Bresciani, Racepace, Nizpro, High Torque, RE Customs, Chasers etc.

What sort of power and boost are you chasing? A std RB20 can comfortably handle 250rwkws. If you want an engine built i personally would talk to either Racepace, Nizpro or RE Customs. From what i can see they have a large range and number of cars involved in club level motorsports. So what they learn on these cars carries over to all the engines they build

People say that all the time. But before going too far down that path its best to read the Vic Roads website with regards to what is required if you deceide to put an RB25 into your R32 :P

yeh but as if the car would be legal anyway... that said it would be a pain if they picked up on it and made him swap back.

im an rb20 fan but i hate seeing people spend money on the internals, you have proved it yourself roy you just don't need to do it.

but if he absolutely must spend 5k on a 20 rebuild then i think he should seriously consider a 25.

yeh but as if the car would be legal anyway... that said it would be a pain if they picked up on it and made him swap back.

Yeh the problem is though when you change engines you need to chamnge the engine number on your rego papers, which means an inspection at the local motor registry :cheers: If you mod the RB20 then the numebrs match up, even if the thing has so many mods its equally as illegal. I guess you are not inviting trouble by havign to take your car to them.

As for alink...if you hunt around the Vic roads website there is actualy some clear and useful information on it all

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
