It's been while coming, but I have started work on the engine build for my rallycar.

The car is an R32 GTS Coupe. I run an RB20DE in stack form with some basic breathing mods.

Now the time has come to start building the head I want to use to extract power from the 2ltr block.

Due to the car having to fit into a class based on engine capacity, I want to keep the motor below 2000cc and non-turbo.

On the weekend we stripped the head and prepared it for porting and cam work. Also, the bottom section of the factory intake plenuim was cut from the rest to be used in the build. The idea of this was to allow us to us the factory injector position and to match the intake runners to the new ports.

These are the throttle bodies I'm planning on using. They are off a 20 valve 4age and I have modded the linkage to allow me to run 6 in-line. These will be mounted to a common flange and bolted to the fabricated intake runners.

nice, cant wait to see it all done, should help the little rb20 to rev like its bore/stroke should let it!. what RPM are you planning on having peak power at?

No problem with rev's as it is. With basic breathing mods the lil thing revs to 9,000rpm on occasion.

By matching intake runner length, cams and head work I'm looking for a strong usable midrange and good throttle response. But yeah, looks like it'll be happy to rev it's nuts off still.

9000rpm?? have you done any block work/balancing?

excellent thread - will be keeping a close eye on this

lol, yeah, they smelly old Toyota itb's, $300 for two sets :P

The bottom end is stock on the current motor, done 210,000km and is untouched. It was well thrashed before I got it and has a lightened flywheel, so I'm guessing thats why it's happy to rev hard.

When I do get around to building up the other block I have, I'll do a bit of balancing work, just to make sure it'll last.

Would be good to do this on a larger capacity motor, but I need to stick to below 2000cc.

The runner length was calculated by the specialist at the cam/head shop. He has ground a cam and ported the head specifically for the diameter itb's I have and through this calculated the runner length required.

Generally the length is way longer than what I have seen discussed on here and it's measured from the seat of the valve to the edge of the bell on the trumpet.

The calculation includes volumes, diameter, length, air speed, air flow. Seems to be quite involved.

Nice job, will be sweet, i am doing a similar sort of thing to my GTS but just not for a rally application, i am getting bigger injectors at the moment, will they need any extra modification or will thay just slot straight in?

Cheers, and keep up the good work.

Interesting project, can't wait to see the final product.

Below is a videoclip of 73 Skyline with what might be a triple 2 barrel side draught setup from a S20 motor (Skyline 2000 GT-R) on a R31 RB20DE?

There would be some serios number crunching to determine runner lenght then, if they are tuned specificaly to head setup. Definatly a job for profesionals.

Ive seen the video mentioned white 32 in japan. girl tuner, she used http://www.twminduction.com/ThrottleBody/2000_inst.html

ITB's adapted to her RB24de. runner lenght looked really short in the video, might be because of the adaption she made, however from memory it only liked revs above 5000 from memory.

Hey screamin.. would you be interested in doing a second set?..

Or sending dimentions?

Or is it intelectual property?

I'm gonna have to find out if the first set will work first!

For your application all dimensions and cam timing/duration will be different because of the bigger motor.

If I'm going to do a second set it'll be for my GenIII SS :P

Anthony- As far as injectors go, I'm going to start with the stock ones, but if I have to upgrade to GTS-t or 13B ones I can just slip them in I beleive.

GTR-32U- I don't know what 4age the itb's are off, but they are 42mm butterfly diameter. Comp. will be the highest I can run pump gas on, as Av-gas is being outlawed by Motorsport NZ.

GTS Retro- For a track application and 2.5ltr the short runners would be fine, but for the 2ltr I need instant throttle responce and reasonable torque, hence the length.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
