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.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
