What are you comparing the RB20 woth when you say more punchy/torquey. SR20?

You dont need to stroke it to go 2.2L, just overbore the engine, which means a lot of labour and new pistons so expensive if all your looking for is more torque.

If you want torque then a 2L turbo engine in a 1350kg car is perhaps not the right car to start with. That said you can do things like breathing mods, cam gears etc etc that all helps torque, or you can change the diff ratio to make the thing more punchy, but at the end if the day its a 2L engine...modern cars and technology sometimes spoil us rotten and we forget that we cant have everything.

But a good place to start is full exhaust, good filter and intake, cam gears apparantly work well, if you need a new clutch then only get as big as you need and go for a lightened flywheel at the same time, and throw a shorter diff ratio at it and lern to use those 7,500revs, and stay away from 18" chrome wheels.

Im probably wrong but thats the way i look at it

What are a few things that can be done to make the rb20det a bit more responsive. and have a bit more torque?  Like the sr20det...

How much would it cost all up to have it stroked to 2.2 or 2.3 ltr?  Would this be a good idea?

What mods do you have? If its relatively stock I'd try an ECU + dyno tune and a lighter flywheel.

well my 1st car was an r32gts4 and i wasnt too happy with power until about 3800rpm.

I then bought a 180sx.. it felt nicer at low rpm.. but for some reason i like the r32 so much more.. so ive sold the 180sx and now looking for a clean r32 again..

I want it set up for drift as much as possible which is why i want a more responsive engine...

I would love an rb25det r32 if anybody knows of one!

rb25 definitely.. if you can afford it..

i am "downgrading" to an rb20det for a while until i go for a monster engine. Will be interesting to feel the difference.

Have been in a couple of r32, and more nothing, then on.. rb25det is much nicer..

some of the better rb20det turbos are meant to spool up a bit lower and give much nicer response down low.. HKS2530 and things like that. You could research into those a bit more.

hi there,

there's a guy selling what seems to be a very nice R32 GTS-T with nice bits and pieces on it, so if you're interested, check this out;

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
