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!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
