G'day guys i have my Rb20det with blown rings

and a RB30e block with new rings and bearings

Can I mate them up?

I want to keep my loom and ecu can i still do that if i get a rb25na r32 head?

cheers

its A31 cefiro btw

No, you can't mate up the RB20DET head and RB30E block - but (I may be corrected here) I'm pretty sure you can use your loom and ECU with the RB25DE head. I assume you are using an aftermarket ECU for this?

The RB20/RB30 heads flow about the same.

So no point, might aswell stick with the RB30 head and valve/cam that, cheaper too when there are only 12

RB25 head is what, 30% more flow in stock form, hence why its used.

RB20/30 simply put is a waste of time and money. Everyone that has done it would never do it again.

100% agree, we did it before RB25/26 heads were readily available at reasonable cost. The required welding and machining of the RB20 head makes it far more expensive than simply bolting on an RB25 head. There are lots of issues with running an 86 mm bore into a 78 mm diameter cylinder head.

Yeah I guess I could have said that but decided easier just to say you can't, much the same as technically you can't use a solid piece of alloy as a head :)

that being said... if you had a rb20det head that already had the mods performed to it and you wanted a cheap project would it be worth it?!?

ive seen a stock rb20 head flow 375rwkw with the right turbo so i cant see it being too much of a restriction for say 300-330rwkw

letme know when you want to come pick it up simon haha

my car came fitted with a 30/20DET combo from japan, we've had the head side to side with a stocker and the only visable mods were machining out the water galeries to mate up to the block

stupidly responsive but never got a chance for a dyno run with it all

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
