I desperately need some help regarding the differences. I suppose the questions i need answered are:

1) What compression ratio does the RB20DE have...i know the RB20DET is 8.5:1

2) Do they make the extra compression using piston size , combustion chamber volume or a bit of both?

3) What are the casting numbers on each head....going from memory my old head was 74L4, the new head thats now on the car is 72L3 (?) The numbers are different and i cant remember exact designations. Do all RB20DET heads use the same casting number?

Basically new head on car and its meant to be an RB20DET head, but cranking pressure is 225psi and the car pings under load, forget about boost :rofl: Just trying to confirm i have the right head..

hi roy the rb20 de had a conpression of 10.5 to 1 not sure on the actuall design of them but I seem to remeber some one saying the heads were a bit differnet.

but then again I have heard of several rb20 de's being turbo charged with out too many issues

sux about your head I would be looking into it. I still have my old head sitting in the garage even if you jsut wantto take measure ments

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
