Hi, Just a question regarding tuning.

RB20DET specialists only no RB25/RB26 replies please

I want to try 800kw on my rb20det I know it sounds stupid but, has anyone tried this before?

I know it needs a lot of mods but, has anyone achieved this before??

Please no reactions similar like these:

RB25 and/or RB26 is better.

Why not swap the RB20DET for a RB25/RB26.

RB25/RB26 is better at this power level

Why not buy a R32 GTR

It would not be economically

Many thanks

Doubt anyone has tried.

No going to be bothered searching if anyone has.

But you'll require 10,000+ rpm

Something upwards of 50psi

And a lot of strengthening, and flowing of all components.

And it would be a complete dog to drive anywhere except down a 1/4 mile

But for those 10 seconds or less....................................................... OP will be freeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ummmmmm...... wheres Roy?

The mad scientists is probably ripping apart the block, replacing the piston rings he fried :action-smiley-069:

ha yeah if roy can't back you up you're boned

you'll need a strong laptop too, one that can handle being slammed shut & told to shut up

Dont forget to weld in the floorpan!

It can be done, it just depends on how much of the RB20 you want use

If want want the use 20 piston rods crank block and head then no your shit outta luck

But if your happy to swap them for say 30 block crank pistons and rods and a 26 head then yeah 1100 hp from a RB20 is easy done

OP, have you considered swapping to an RB25/RB26?

These are better.

Why not swap to an RB25/RB26?

RB25/RB26 would be better at these power levels. I think you should do it. I hope I was able to suggest this to you before you went ahead with the RB20, because RB25/RB26 are better. At these power levels.

Or buy an R32 GTR.

In all seriousness we are talking 1000hp... I believe that to be a power figure that requires an experienced engine builder to produce an engine. That being said I also do not think it matters what modern engine you start with... To get it to 1000hp would probably be a similar amount of work regardless.

Therefore OP should take his RB20 to an experienced engine builder and ask them to produce a 1000hp engine capable of over 10,000rpm. Then OP will simply need the manifolds and a turbo to suit.

$100,000.00 later and it will rip good skids.

This must be with the Motec system and a stand alone fuel management system?

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
