The rb20 and rb25

Hello,

I found some info from testing done on the r32 gtst and the r33 gtst.

Its often said seemingly on websites that the rb20 is a motor lacking torque under 3000 rpm and that the rb25 is better, stock vs stock.

I know that the rb25 is a more powerful motor and has more torque stock vs stock rb20.

But in these test I found, it seems that the rb20 in a r32 gtst stock compared to a rb25 in a stock r33 gtst is not that bad.

You never give up do you?

Those graphs are not "tests" or dyno charts - they are computer models invented by some one.

The harsh facts are that the RB20DET makes 265Nm

The RB25DET makes 294Nm

and the RB25 Neo DET which everyone is telling you to get makes 343Nm which is  significantly more than the RB20

A guy in france put his r32 gtst bone stock on a dyno, here is the sheet :

f**king small turbo an still max torque beyond 5000 rpm.

Stock wise the gap might not be that big but who here is still stock anyway. I have a 20, a mate of mine have a 25 and the 25 is much nicer to drive despite having a taller diff ratio and bigger wheels. So yes the 20 is a bitch down low, at high rpm i prefer the feeling of my shitty 20 (mostly thanks to the 4.36 diff I have) but below 4000 this is a no brainer.

Yoshii you need to realise theyre both internal combustion engines which are dinosaur technology now, same basic design for over 100 years. You need to be progressive and look towards the hybrid technology Porsche, Fiat and Rocklasser are using or possibly something nuclear-fission powered if you're serious about this car of yours being half decent...otherwise i'd have to assume that this thread is just a troll...?

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
