So thinking to put a rb26 on a rb20de. I think the bore and centres are the same, but i don't think bolt sizes are and the valves won't like the smaller bore.

At the end of the day, do you think its worth it? and why?

Thanks.

Well, it can be modded to fit, the topic isn't to be told what i shouldn't do. I plan on keeping my NA off my P's and keep it as a daily driver untill i get sick of it, and the idea of 140-150KW RB NA sounds good to me.

Just want to be different.

How do you intend to get this sort of power?

The RB20 is a much smaller bore than the RB26. So the combustion chamber of a RB26 is considerably larger than the RB20's. The piston at TDC will be like a dick-in-a-bucket fit into the chamber. The thing will have such low compression that you might be lucky to even start the engine.

And the RB25 bore is the same as the 26.

a 140-150kw would make an ordinary daily driver. a stock or mildly modded turbo skyline would be a better daily driver.

You do realise it is a modified motor, and therefore illegal - be it N/A or turbo makes no difference.

mohsen don't encourge him... this is why i hang out here to prevent stuff like this from happening. read up on gregs thread with the rb30 bitten end with a 26 head. thats the ultimate rb skyline natro you can make.... and as a daily i duno if you'd really enjoy driving round in a camed up natro just for the daily grind.

if you wana do.it do it, but its a lot of $'s for the sake of being different.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
