Hello, I continue in a frustrating debate with my friend who bought a Ford Corsair for 300$ and continues to tell me that it has a RB20 or an RB25 N/A in it.

This quite pisses me off because I know skylines look really good but if he picked a ford up for 300$ with the same power, it shits me off.

Is there anyway I can proove it's not an RB engine without seeing the car, his pop (A mechanic) said in his quick inspection it had the same engine as my N/A skyline.

Is this possible lol.

(AHHHH It's pisses me off ) xD

sounds like your mate is very confused . . . a FWD CA20E is Very different to a RWD/AWD RB. . . the CA was a small port/SOHC cam motor that was more suitable for taking nanna to her lawn bowls and not much else

you are petty little boy Brendon....

Big deal if it could beat yours, most things on the road can....

Who waves the flag when you guys start your traffic light grand prix?

As everyone has said, go to the drags for bragging rights, everything is speculation until then...

was not saying pretty :)

I was interested to see if someone had gone to the effort of putting an RB into something abit different like a corsair and thought maybe there was some questions/pics/details about it.

All i find is some kid whinging " it shits me off." "(AHHHH It's pisses me off ) xD " if it were to beat his n/a skyline....

LOL, what about if it has the KA25E, any chance of him being able to beat me if I reverse?

KA25E? hmmm didnt know about that motor,Thought there was only a KA24E , as used in the states (200SX?)but often replaced by a SR20DET

either way there wouldnt be room in the engine bay of a corsair for a transverse mounted RB25 . . too long

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
