A Boy's Love For His Rb20

[Roy]

Std head just serviced...std cams for now and some baseline results with 20G before i try new turbos and cam combo

[TTT]

so did you end up with 2.4 or 2.2?

[Roy]

Well its not a 20 crank:)

[TTT]

oh you went SR20 hey? good for you.

Will be good to see/hear this thing when it's ready

[paulR32gtr]

Thread title is misleading, I feel lied to

[Roy]

And to think she is now tarnished with bits from its dirty easy sister. I feel so unclean. But when it goes bang will gladly throw it in the skip for being so inferior to a std RB20

[tweety bird]

Well its not a 20 crank:)

put that rb25 crank you had to go use aye..

[sav man]

the red top cam covers look great.

but with rb25 bits in the engine, i'm wondering if you will be hitting on smelly french men instead.

[tweety bird]

i wasn't going to say anything about that...

and i'm not going to.

[Roy]

Yeh, my old R31 had these rocker covers on the the later model R32 engine it had. I left them the std R31 colour and just rubbed back to ribbed tops. I think they woudl look better if they were the std R31 colour rather than lipstick red...but meh. By the time they are covered in blow-by wont be able to tell

When do you start spooling boost and come onto full boost when running 98 and the TD06-20g 8cm?

[Roy]

Boost response wasnt really any different between E85 and 100. On 98 it used to start spooling at around 3,000rpm. At 3,500rpm generally had about 5=6psi in it and would make about 18-19psi by 4,200rpm

ive been wondering this for so long.

Well my 20G is going to be for sale once the new engine is tuned and run in. It seems 350rwkws is about the mark for a basic Skyline doing track work with E85 these days so need to go to billet or T67 to get there.

God that is a lot of power and going ot be painful to get oil and coolant temps under control Whole new suspension and rear end and diff about to go in as well so the car will be like new. Just have to decide whether I want alloy tailshaft or carbon

[TTT]

whats the old suspension worth to ya?

also, what is the old suspension.. lol

[Roy]

They are Tein RAs with custome valving and different springs. From memory they are 8F/4R or thereabouts. Need to check. New stuff is the same thing just that they are GTR gear so have the forks rather then eyelets so suit the new rear end I have. The GTR gear is being revalved almost the same as my current gear and I am throwing a bit more spring at the car as I have softer swaybars now that I went from custom Whitelien to ARC so needs a bit more roll control. I may end up going back to custom swaybars if the higher spring rates do things to the pitch that I dont like.

What are they worth. Well RussGTSt is selling very similar Tein REs near new and has had them up for sale for ages as he cant move them...so I guess less then that though my hoarding whore self may just keep them as they are near new and still shiney

[TTT]

I thought you had a whiteline kit or something..

seem to remember this car being the test car.

could be the low carb diet playing games with my brain though

Yeh, back in 2001 my car was the development car used by Whiteline to develop their Bilstein kit, swaybars etc. I kept that kit to around 2008 when I changed to the RAs. I almost got the Bilsteins rebuilt to be a little more racey but the Teins being alloy body pretty much sold me on them.

[robots]

Hey, Roy! Still opt to try my HX30 (comp49/73mm; turb 55/62mm) ?

[Roy]

Silly European track days keep eating the R32/Sierra budget. But they are so epicly fun!
