I once test drove an RB20 for gearbox issues and while waiting for the turbo to spool, I swear a decrepit old lady zoomed past me in a Corolla laughing her ass off as vvti kicked in

from my facebook:

So I'm at a coin laundry drying a couch cushion that won't fit in my dryer. The place closes at 10, so I put in enough money till last till circa 9:50. It's now 10:05 and the machine still hasn't finished so I can't get my cushion out. The best bit is that at 10:00 pm the doors automatically lock, the lights go out and the security system turns on. So now I'm sitting here, in the dark, by my self, with the alarm blaring. Genius

Rekin, don't think of it as an engine swap, think of it as a 2.5L stroker for your RB20.

Not one person in the history of the world has ever regretted it.
You seem to love your R32. Do the single best thing you can ever do for it.

Speaking of which, a rb25 bottom-end from a r32 rb25de means I can still use my rb20 head including all splits, injectors & loom.

Will become a rb20/25de+t though haha

No vct though

Coils tend to break beyond 200kw and injectors would require a clean or replace if dropping in a motor.

your existing coils or injectors wont do the job?

 

RB20 isnt on this list, so maybe its ok?

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
