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?

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
