Howdy y'all looking for some insight on doing a some what of a mild build on the ole rb20. Yeah yeah I know why dont you just go rb25, cuz I dont want to conform to what everyone else does.

 

Anyways I have 270 8.8mm cams coming from otaku garage for the head. I want to build head, valve springs, lifters, valves, and of course porting as I am going to be running bigger turbo. Preferably a gt3071r.

 

I am not wanting to do anything to my 40k mile bottom end besides bearings, unless any of you recommend anything.

 

Any insight and ideas from your knowledge would be greatly appreciated from you wild dream boats from down under that do some crazy shit with RBs

 

Best regards @JankityJenkins from the states

Hi you crazy wild rebel you. There are some highly strung RB20s around. For your 40 psi screamer you will want a custom exhaust manifold and a huge exhaust to suit. And as I always say its all in the tune so get a Link  Ecu  or such like and find a really good tuner!

Not rebuilding the bottom end on a REALLY OLD engine is not always the right move when you're talking about headwork and big cams. There's no point in talking about porting and big cams unless planning on lots of boost and big revs. Massive boost + cast pistons not always good bedfellows.

270° cams on an RB20 = lag for days, boost from 4500 up to 9000+. I'd be thinking about new rods and/or rod prep, ARP rod bolts, forged pistons. At the least. Probably worth considering the oil pump situation too.

Otherwise, it is fairly common to see RB20s run about 260-270rwkW without much preparation and run for a few years before popping.

It's 2019 and people still talk about GT3071? 

Put a GTX3071R Gen 2, twin scroll it's mum, twin gates, proper SINCO manifold.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
