Hi peoplz,

Just starting a thread up for my project for every one to see and have there view on it!

Project: 84-86 31 Skyline

Engine: Nothing in bay

Conversion: RB20

I have bought the 31 from a good mate of mine and will be putting in a RB20.

I will be going to have a look at the engine next thursday, as well as the car and ill also be picking up some rims (stock steelies) just so i can roll the car to my mechanical engineer that ill be helping with the coversion, if i have any time off work! And to get the car registed with the new engine in!

I will have pics up of the car and the engine on thursday nite...

The mods im looking at would have to be Adjustable Cams, Turbosmart eBoost 2, Deceptor Pro BOV, FMIC, Walbro 040 Fuel Pump, High Flow the T28 and possibly an external gate, Apexi AFC Neo, Apexi turbo timer, and many more (just cant think lol)

hahaha bois haha

yeh soz thanks for that disturbd lol yeh ill be doin brakes but at first ill only be doin minor mods to start with then wen i get into full port polish and honed head and forged internals and bigger turbo and fuel and everything else is wen ill be doind brakes! But for now its just gona be a light build with just so i can rego the car!!! lol

Also mitchy ive gone and got the latest issue of hot4s and in that was a crx in one of the cruise pages for a honda cruise in vic and this car look massivly like a shitty stock crx but man oh bloody man the shit it had in it was unbeliveable hahaha it even had a black painted FMIC hidin behind the stock front bar and this thing FWD was runnin somethin like 185kw at the front wheels lol massive for a B16 FWD...

So i was actually thinking til i either get a custom front bar or a complete upgraded body kit (the one now is also awesome) ill prob go with the sleeper look for sure!!! hehehe just make it look like its just a plain old shitty rb30e skyline hahaha

R32 driver the 040 is walbro and the 044 is the bosch im pretty sure as thats wot was advertised in modyourcar.com... but ill deff lookinto it again haha

but yeh ill have full pics and everything on thursday for sure

So you want to double the power of a 20yr old 31 with out upgrading the brakes , you idiot :thumbsup:

I agree

the brakes should be the very first thing done before any engine work begins

car pobaby wouldn't make it over pits without brake upgrade

yeh cheers for the info!

Neways im not an idiot the car had a rb20 already in it so im just replacing it!

Besides ime making the build in stages and to start off with im just installing engine to get it regod so i can just drive round and save to start moding it!!!

But yes i already no that brakes would have to be the first things and im working on that, just not yet wen its only gona be a stock engine!!!

you know brake should be first, but you're not doing them first?

regardless of if its a stock engine or not, an 20det puts out more power than a 30e, and after seeing the size of the stock brakes, i'm glad mine has 33 gts-t brakes all round.

    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
