They suffer from the lies that Mazda spun back in the 70's. Lie #1, they are a 4 stroke engine, rubbish they are a 2 stroke. Every one knows it, but Mazda lied because they didn't want the "lawn mow

I blew over 10 diffs, 3 gearboxes, a clutch, and 2 axles. Alternator died, steering became loose, suspension started leaking, engine mount broke, crossmember bent, oil lines split. Just some of the things that broke on my rx.

However, one engine, no leaks, no cracked apex seals. 10,000rpm all day long.

Yeah shit engines, I would never rely on one.

Edit: Period of 4 years.

Thank-you :D

Add premix to S1 13b to save apex seals, apex seals out. I have to admit this is pretty funny.

However, run more than standard boost, pistons out? :D:)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i thought so too...but iam kinda confused what is what and what to get to make it work. I know i need a push clutch(i get that with that kit i post)  It has flywheel too and from what i found it should "mate" with RB25DET NEO. But i dont rly know about the bolt count cuz i saw many videos about clutch on RB25DET/NEO and all of them has 6 bolt pattern... Like here for example... And if i google clutch kit for RB25DET NEO like "all of them" has 6 bolt flywheel...

      From memory when the tank is full is when the resistance from the fuel sender reads its absolute lowest. It sounds like the short has made its way to the fuel sender wires... Which also means the short could possibly be in / around the cluster.

      Actually, that's what that post is saying is happening, with only the LAST 10mm to the wastegate flange not divided. A whole single centimetre is what they're claiming caused that change. However, I haven't actually punched the numbers in etc to do any mafs, but they're talking 26PSi + of boost, and it taking nearly 2 seconds longer to climb a further 200rpm... Yep, it was in 4th gear, but, say that car does 2800RPM at 100km/h, they're talking a car making 26PSi, is taking an additional nearly 2 seconds to go from 128km/h, to 135km/h... That's pretty extreme to me. Also interesting as you scroll down through the comments and I started reading there was someone who's done very similar testing, on a hub dyno, back to back without even pulling car off the hub dyno, and barely saw any change what so ever on a stupid powered car.

      Would it be stupid to twin charge a skyline? Would that be possible/practical to do on an rb engine?

      You totally couldn't have that many cars running on Ethanol. You'd be employing two full time mechanics just to keep going through the vehicles, flushing old fuel out, and possibly changing anything the ethanol has eaten between the months it would be between drives.
