Although the SDU site does say it, I wouldn't believe that it has to be true. They also get the power figures wrong on some of the Skylines which is pretty straight forward stuff. I don't think it's meant to be the definitive Skyline / RB guide, just general advice.

I had also heard the 6 cyl closed deck theory too, Abo Bob. Can you think of any other Nissan engines with common letters? All I can think of at the moment is the RD28.

does it have to mean anything...it is just an engine block designation.

All you have to know is the B in BNR32 is 2600, N is 4WD+HICAS (HNR32 has HICAS) and R32 is just that Skyline model/shape, similarly BCNR33 but C is now used for HICAS as this model ENR33 didn't have HICAS. In the R34 models the HICAS label was completely abolished for all.

B:RB26, E:RB25, H:RB20DE, F: CA, YH:RB20E

another site that thinks race breed

RBxxDETT stands for

RB = Race Breed.

xx = Engine capacity to the nearest litre. 20, 25, 26 and 28 are used.

D = Dual overhead cam.

E = Fuel injected.

TT = Twin turbo.

RB = Inline straight 6 code

just like SR, CA, VQ and VG all mean the type of engine.

The idea that RB means Race Bred is an abosolute pile of rotting shit because there exists an RB24S... inline straight 6 carby engine. Its about as race bred as my left testicle. Made from 11/88 to 04/90 (so it predates the RB20DE or RB20E) there was also an RB30S which was put into Patrols from 09/88 to mid 1991. Since when are Patrol engines Race Bred?

I've collected an article by the dude who chaired the development of the RB20DET and the RB26DETT engines, and it makes no mention of "Race Bred". These two engines were supposed to be the race winners in the Nissan stable.

The closest thing I've ever come to a meaning put to it on any japanese documentation is by a tuning company that called it "Race Box" but I doubt its what RB stands for, moreso an interpretation just like "Race Bred".

then why is it not called a BR? instead of RB. The japanese engine manual shows you how to decode the transmission codes and the Engine codes, and all it says for RB is Inline Straight 6.

R = 6 cylinder, closed deck.

B = Gasoline application using cast iron/nickle based block.

[/color]

S = 4 cylinder, closed deck.

R= Gasoline application using sand-cast alloy based block.

K = 4 cylinder, closed deck.

A = Gaslone application using sand-cast iron based block.

Q = 4 cylinder, open deck.

R = Gaslone applcation using die-cast alloy based block.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
