Hey,

I've been doing some searching on whether you can bolt up an rb20 head to an rb25 bottom end and havent found any topics on it.

My questions are:

* Does it bolt straight up?

* Is there any merit in doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

You'll see a much better gain by bolting up the whole RB25.

What is said above is correct also, water galleries do not line up.

The RB20 head flows no where near as much as the RB25 head. So it would be a huge backward step to do to the RB25 bottom end.

Considering you can grab a cheap RB25DET and drop the whole thing in, and your old turbo setup etc will bolt to it (If you're using a stock turbo, use the RB25DET turbo!)

Hmm i guess i'll stick with the rb20 and get a new bottom end.

Thanks for your help guys!

Dropping another RB20 in, VS picking up an RB25... Will be a bit more for the RB25, BUT you'll see MAJOR amounts more torque.

Much better engine all around.

Yeah i know but with the mods i have i'll need to get a new ecu, dial in the cams again, get it tuned etc. If i just put 20 back in i'll have awesome power as is. Had 267atw with current mods.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
