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?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
