Nissan RB Engine

i live my current internet life through my phone, so editing wikipedia is really not something i want to be doing at the moment lol (am on pc right now but not for long).

also sure there will be other users that know more than me so i leave it open for someone else to edit the wiki

but yeah this wiki needs some serious edits and additions

things that come to mind:

"produced from 1980-2004." ---produced from 1980? wouldnt produced pertain to production for the market? meaning the first RBs were in R31s which were produced mid 80s and not 1980.

"RB20P - single-cam (94 PS @5600 rpm and 142 N·m @2400 rpm)" ---D,E,S,T,TT are explained but P is not in the list (but is mentioned at the bottom of the RB20 section).

"The RB20E was also fitted to some Holden Commodores (the VL Commodore) sold in New Zealand and Australia"--- RB20E released in AUS?

"The RB20DET-R was used in the Nissan Skyline 2000GTS-R (HR31). It is limited to 800 units." should probably be a bit more info like improvements and such.

Photos- instead of RB20DET into 240sx pic, it should be of a standard RB20DET with silver rocker covers and stock IC piping actually in the vehicle it originally came in.

RB24 section should mention RB24 hybrid.

RB25 section should mention the differences with late model series 2 engines like CAS and such.

RB26DETT section should include the Autech Skyline26s RB26DE(if recognised as a nissan engine. i reckon it should be added anyway)

"Nissan Skyline GT-R BCNR33 AUTECH Var."---should be edited to say BCNR33 Autech 40th Anniversary 4 door GT-R.

also wasnt the development of the original RB26 a joint venture between nissan and reinik?

RB26DETT Z2---wasnt there also a Z1 in the prototype or is it not important enough for this wiki?

"Four models of 3.0 L RB30 were produced from 1987 - 1991:"---more like 1985-1990??

"RB30E - fuel-injected single-cam (114 kW @ 5200 rpm, 247 N·m (25.2 kgf·m) @ 3600 rpm)"---no mention of use in VL commodore

then

"RB30ET VL Commodore - fuel-injected single-cam turbo (150 kW @ 5600 rpm, 296 N·m @ 3200 rpm)"---RB30ET mentioned to be in the VL commodore leading people to believe that all VLs have turbo 30s when in actual fact they were only installed in some Calais. right??

"The turbocharged RB30ET (producing 150 kW) was found only in the VL Commodore (available in all models)"---once again stating that Commodores are all turbocharged.

RB30DE section should have a write up about people making these hybrids.

RB30DET section should include RIPS achievements with RB30DETS (used to be in here but has been removed. maybe no longer allowed or something)

should also maybe go into some further detail for block preparation and any other such useful information.

should be an RB30 stroker section talking about Nitto 3.2L,RIPS 3.3L and Spool 3.4L stroker kits

should also be mention of available stroker kits for RB26 (2.7,2.8,2.9,3.0,3.1). not too sure if this is totally relevant to the wiki because these kits are aftermarket and not a released product from nissan but neither was the RB30DET so yeah hmm

anyone got anything else to add or correct?

someone should be keen to update the wiki

cheers!

The RB30DET was available in non-Calais commodores. My mate had a turbo wagon.

But another flaw is that Holden didnt just buy they rights for the RB30, the actually imported the entire engine. When the exchange rate dropped they became too expensive, which is at least one reason why the VN didnt have the RB30. The 3.8 was rough as guts compared to the smooth 30.

Doh! the D is just force of habit... I don't know if it was all models or not.

hmmm well if no one is interested in doing this i believe ill find the time to do the edits some time soon. in the process of moving and once moved will have my rig set up on the net and sort it out then :)

  • 3 months later...
A special limited edition the LMRB26 was also built during this time by General Motors in Australia.

LOL GTFO!

Am going to have a crack at this chickenjibblet right now ;)

Edited by 045HOW

  • Delete LMRB26 crap.
  • Changed RB production date.
  • Added "P" to the letter indication section.
  • RB20E Australia issue has already been resolved by someone else.
  • Changed Autech GTR name.Added ENR33 and RS4 to Chassis used on Autech GTR and 260RS

The RB26DETT was used in the following cars:

  • Changed rb30 production start year to 1985.
  • Added VL commodore to lower rated n/a rb30 specs.
  • Added Stroker Section. (Feedback on this greatly appreciated :) )

Stroker Kits

There are many Stroker Kits Available for RB Engines(Some Only Available as proper kits while others being achievable by using cranks from other engines, for example a GTR crank in an RB25DET will make it a 2.6L as the Bore is the same as an RB26DETT).

Achievable Stroker Displacements for RB Engines:

  • RB20 - 2.2,2.4
  • RB25 - 2.6,2.7,2.8
  • RB26 - 2.7,2.8,2.9,3.0,3.15
  • RB30 - 3.2(Nitto),3.3(RIPS),3.4(Spool Imports)

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
