Im being told that rb20's make power easier than 25's

Also that my mate has 270rwkw from his rb20det...

There was a thread created a while ago for people with rb20's making 260rwkw or more and all seemd to have trouble getting there

Just to confirm rb20's make less torque, have more turbo lag and as a genral make less power if the mods where the same for an rb25

?

No. A mate of mine has basically the same mods on his RB20DET as I have on my RB25DET. We both have upgraded turbos on stock manifolds, stock motors, aftermarket ECU and fuel system etc.

My car is tuned on BP98 at 17psi and makes 301wkw, same dyno his car tuned on 30% ethanol and 21psi makes 295kw. He gives me a bit of a run for my money on midrange torque - probably more to do with extra boost and better fuel, but his falls flat at 6000rpm and mine keeps making more power. On the same fuel and boost I have roughly 50kw on him, better off boost torque and way better midrange.

No comparison.

Il grab the list of mods and let you guys decide

apparently stock injectors, stock ecu.. 3incj zorst, fmic, 18psi, flat top pistons, to4e turbo and a tune making 256rwkw

il update if there are any mods i left out

stock injectors would not let you produce that much power.

I've owned both RB20DET and RB25DET, for someone to say RB20DET makes more power easier than RB25DET mod for mod, they must be on drugs >_<

Mod for mod, the RB25DET will make more power easily, why on earth would R32 boys be putting RB25DET motors into their cars? Go figure!

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
    • lol already been put in temporarily 3 years ago
    • Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
