thats similar to the gt austo sound s15 they ran 9.3 seconds or something.

meggala

Hahaha u rekon??? Dude u should go hang around some wreckers joints,and let me tell u SR's are very very rare and the ones that come in are sold pretty damn quickly...Why?? Cause they all BREAK! Throw rods, snap rocker arms...GT autosounds snapped a rocker arm ffs so don't tell me it doesn't happen!!!!

hey boof show me an rb20 making 650 hp!!!!!

closest I have seen is 550hp from a jap car.

I dont think they all break I know plenty of people making 240-250 rwk on stock bottom ended sr's and have been for 12-18 months I know of 5 in melbourne alone .

rockers only break when you over rev them. hence my 7200 rev limit

btw roy they do do 2.2 sr's :) you have to go for a ride in mine to see the difference

 

I ahve no dispute between rb 25/ 26 I thnkthey are great motors but as for 2.0 liter mark the sr eats and rb 20 every day

LOL...alright, all for a bit of fun, when my cars back together we'll give them a nudge down the quarter at Calder, loser buys the other a case of beer :) and goes off to think of a worthy excuse for getting handed a prodigous beating :)

Been for a ride in a few SR20s, one with the same turbo setup as mine, another with a Nizpro built engine, both well sorted cars and the only real difference is the SRs like Buster said dont seem to have the same top end as my thing, and response came back to the fact that their setups are sorted and only now is mine getting the wrinkles ironed out :) ..... i dont think there is any real difference, comes back to turbo setup and bolt on combination more then SR v RB

You can have an RB22 using std RB20 crank, SR22 requires $$$$ crank :aroused:

Yep... absolutely agree with Meggala there. I shall be going for the SR20DET swap in the Type M for sure.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :Oops:

Its bad enough everyone swapping there RB20s for RB25/26/30s, now ppl are going to start throwing SR20s in them. :mad:

Its all good, funny to see how the different combos work, and the respective strengths of each. Though my only beef with that approach is noone ever tries to develop an RB20, so outside of a 2530 and 210rwkws, noone ever gives them a chance.

Come on Meggala, Calder Park and the prize being case, sorry slab of winners chosing :)

No i dont expect to win, probably lose as im a choker and have never drag raced before, but should be a bit of fun :) .....So SR20s SUCK BALLS , prove me wrong :)

lol seeing as this all started from the mag article I scanned in, (I've made a translated version if you fellas wanna follow the drag battle). I should probably post up the article in the same mag but in an issue from 1997 about RB20DET tuning achievements. Incluing a 2.4L RB20DET that is still doing the rounds in the tracks.

Also you should note... that particular category is limited to N/A vehicles up to 4L in capacity or turbo vehicles up to 2.4L in capacity. The truth is that under 2.4L SR20 is king.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
