Why would you want to 'do up' a NA RB20?

im just curious and want to build a good engine up from scratch then when im of my p's i will be bolting on the turbo and therefore will have a good engine to handle the whole setup

and thanks for mentioning RB26 injectors

and remeber reading somewhere about 26 cams too. But m not sure about the solid lifters in 26's

thanks for the REAL input

Why would you want to 'do up' a NA RB20?

Why wouldn't you?

For a lot of enthusiasts out there turbo is out of the question and a lot of people also love a tuff NA.

Sorry can't help you with the info though.

yes but cubes are everything, Na engines require capacity, why hamstring yourself with a 2ltr when you can run a 3ltr with 26 head. Run comp up to 11:1 . E85 and off you go.

or at least run the RB26 crank and rods in the rb20.

how about the whole engine- put it in urself and at the end of it ull b of ur ps and have shitload more experience. :D

thats what i want to do mate as im also trying to start a mechanic course and what to learn how to DIY

BEZERK R32 RB26 crank and rods is this expensive to do and is it a decent upgrade thanks

one more thing for you smart guys here is sr20det injectors good for the rb20 as im able to get them for real cheap thanks

Depends on how much you can get a crank for......if your trying to do this on the cheap i suggest you leave it as is as splitting an engine to change stroke will require machining and parts, at least rings, bearings and gasket kit. Replace water pump, timing belt, camsafts & gears etc etc. if you then are paying someone else to blueprint the engine you will be looking at atleast $1500 in labour. I reckon to stroke RB20 using second hand parts ie crank and rods, machining and other parts + labour to build.......$5000. Cheapest option would be to get a 3litre and put you head on it.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
