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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
