RB is supposed to be race bred, numbers denote the displacement, d is dual overhead cam, e is electronic fuel injected, and the t/tt is presence of turbo or twin turbo. At least I'm pretty sure that's it.

That "RB" thing is an internet myth. Almost like calling an SR "super rocket", "super race" or something.

Considering the RB20 was the first of the RB's, I wouldn't call that "Race Bred".

Yeah, well, at least with those, they don't have to ask (on a car trip), "Are we there yet?"

hehe...

After a bit of google looking R is a nissan inline 6 cylinder engine and the B is gasoline using cast iron/nickle based block, apparently? and S is 4cyl

I think RB etc are just the engine family. If R was inline 6 then it doesn't make any sense for an SR to be named as it is, same goes for B being gasoline/cast iron/nickle block then what is a CA? They probably stem from some internal codenames used for engine development.

Yea true, I retract my comment.

the R in SR could be aluminium block, hence VR38DETT???
