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

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

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
