Hello

I am wanting to make my RB20 reach as close to 400hp as possible and keep good response.

I have received many suggestions which are good.

Just to look at the other side so that I can have all understanding of my options,

which is a good engine to put in the 32, a rb25 or rb26?

I read that the 25 is good but it has its problems and cant be boosted too high because of its compression.

I read that the 26 is great, just expensive.

Ive read that the s1 25 engine is easier to wire in than the s2 and neo, but the neo's ecu's is easier to have it nistuned, chipped, etc.

What are the pros and cons of putting a rb25 engine in?

What are the pros and cons of putting a rb26 engine in?

If I do these mods, my road tax and other expenses here in Japan will go up more than double for what they are for the stock rb20.

If it is not neccessary to put either in to get 400 hp and have good response, than I will not.

Once I mod up and tune my 20 , will I have better torque?

Tax will cost more in Japan?

Scotty, you can't recieve PM s.

Thanks Ben. 400 messages is only a few months worth it seems. :P

They pay extra registration costs (road tax) by engine displacement I think. No wonder there are so many small engine turbo cars there.

... rb24 time???

26 crank in an rb20 block, custom pistons.... stealthiest way to get more capacity for your 20.

I'd be starting with an r32 rb25 na head, 26 crank, rods and tomei (from memory) make pistons to suit? I think you have to notch the top of the rod blah blah blah

At least that way you retain the rb20 block and engine number, get some more capacity etc pop an hks 2530 turbo kit and ecu/fuel system of choice. Boom done!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
