My friends building me a RB20det and i am wondering what is needed to get 400hp out of it (if thats even possible!).

He reckons he can get at least 400hp with full factory internals and says forged pistons are a waste of time and dont do anything.

Specs of motor so far:

WIll be running

- T3T4 garrett turbo

- Chipped computer

- Top mount manifold

- 32mm wastegate w/ 18 pound spring

- Front facing plenum

- Front mount

Wanting to know if i need forgies or not and also any examples of other high hp 20det builds

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

400hp at the wheels or 400 hp at the engine?

400hp at the engine is pretty easy for a lil rb20 , your setup you detailed there sounds odd. oh and no need to even pull the head off a rb20 (have personally seen 280rwk out of a high klm shitter rb20 live a hard tortured life) , save the $$ for a rb25 or whatever :)

Thanks guys. Did some research and found that most people can get between 250-350 hp at the wheels but I'm more concerned about how long it will last, i'd like to have it running for more than a week before it decides to spit a piston or something :) just see what happens I guess!

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
