hey just got to 2 questions

number 1

i wars thinking of making a rb20det with 500bhp to start with, becourse not many people have done it, and to see if it can be done. so if you have an idea to what parts i should use it who'd be great. i am going to use a HKS f-con v pro engine management.

number 2

is it even possible to run 2,2 bar of boost on stock internals, becourse there is a man in sweden that clams to run 550bhp and 2,2 bar of boost, here is the specks.

ported head with custom cams.valvs

stainless steel exh.manifold with T70 Turbo

700hp + turbokompressor.

HKS 60mm wastegate with screamer pipe

Jun style polished inlet manifold with 90mm billet trottle

Bosch 1000cc injectors

twin Whalbro fuelpumps

modified fuelsystem

GTR style large intercooler 3# pipes

Link Engine Managment system

water/methanol injected to support the 98oct std pump fuel

when going over 2 bar of boost

HKS ignition amplifier

Nos system

launch control/antilag system

sorry if my spelling is a bit off

Its pointless. A waste of money. It will be lag city like no tomorrow. Youd be better off going RB25. But if you want to do it, then do it.

2.2 Bar on a stock bottom end...you can try it, but dont expect it to last more than a couple of dyno runs!

Ive heard of someone running 2.0 Bar through an SR20. Its crazy!

here is a pretty crazy rb20 built by OHperformance i had on the dyno the other week the revlimit was 9800 and sounded sweet, real credit to the guys.... :) 490hp at the wheels.

it must be mental from 5000rpm to 6,000rpm!! lol it triples it's power in 1,000rpm! does it still make power after 7500rpm?

there is a reason not many people have 700hp turbos on RB20's... did some people go on school holidays early?

T70 turbo sounds like a piece of shit http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Eb...bo-t130247.html

5000rpm of lag does not sound like fun, IMO, if you want that power, RB30DET or a turbo LS1 :)

femno: i know that it is better going for a rb25 but here were i live they have some strict rules about engine swaps, the only way i can do it, is if the people that decide if it is going on the road or not, cant see the difference on the two engines.

They have strict rules about motor swaps...

Yet you can make the motor you have into a 500bhp item?

Sounds like laws there are dumber than here in Victoria, and i thought that wasn't possible.

500bhp would be about as useless as 1000bhp from a OS 3ltr :verymad:

Whats the use of the car? You would get far more enjoyment, speed and so on from a RB20 that has more response.

Such lag that would require would make the car slower

i am going to use the car as a every day car in the summer.

if i remove the cover over the plugs so they cant see on the cover if it is a rb20 or a rb25, but is there any other way they can see that it is a rb25, and not a rb20

If you buy an R33 RB25DET it is easy to pick the difference as the inlet cam gear looks completely different and the inlet manifold is clearly different. Get an R32 RB25DE and turbo it, nobody can tell the difference externally. I was going to put 25 internals in one for a cheater RB20 but am happy with the 340hp at the wheels my std RB20 makes so sold off the engine, rods, cams and pistons etc

300rwkw+ & RB20 in my book does not equal alright for a daily driver :P

250-270rwkw & RB20 IMO is about the limit, otherwise you just hurt resposne too much to enjoy it and you have to drive with your foot up the car everywhere you go

Would LOVE to hear it!

i Dont know Ash, 4 years ao people said anything more then a 2530 and 220rwkws was too much for a std RB20. A new manifold and some different turbo combos are getting thrown at Ben and we will soon know where we land, it will be between 260 and 310rwkws somewhere. Just have to find the combo that works best, cant wait to see if the std 20 can handle the extra power and more importantly revs :D

...walks off and starts singing "anything an RB25 can do, and RB20 can do better... :P

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
