Having a mate with a HR31 Passage with an RB20ET in it, and owning my own 1995 R33 Gts-T, I can guarantee the 20ET won't be up to it...yes it'll be different, but there really isn't any point in literally throwing money away working with a 20ET in a 33...the 20ET is so slow it's embarrassing. At the end of the day, if they were any good, Nissan would have used them more frequently :)

If you want to do something different in the 33, rock a VH41 or VH45. Much cooler, much better performance, much better value. Or, whack a 25 in it and enjoy :woot:

an rb20et will be such an abortion.

if it really comes down to doing something different then go for a rb25/30det (then hold the f$%k on).

otherwise an rb25det with a different turbo (e.g. hks gtrs) is also different and awesome. u can also throw a screamer pipe on there to really scare off the kids in south london

oh, im not sure what model specifically you have but being an NA R33 im also going to throw you a 'good luck with the brakes, diff n suspension'...

but we all like to do our own thing and I have not seen any RB20ET's in the UK it would be different !!!!! isn't that what its all about !!!!! and if I can get second hand OEM parts its not going to be megga expensive.

no its all about value for money and making a fast car, if being different was all the go people would put a shit holden 202 in their skylines lo, actually it probably wouldn't be much slower than an rb20et

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
