Rb20e conversion

[Blake niethe]

Can someone help me out and let me know the easiest way to convert a rb20e Into and rb20det and whether 20det parts would fit into the 20e block such and a det head and det manifold to fit the turbo onto??? Thanks

Replace engine+wiring loom, brakes.

Is there any chance a 20det head and manifold will fit and line right up on a 20e block?

Absolutely. You are, however, completely wasting time and effort. This is very deep into the "don't bother" territory of RB engine work. Whilst, if you you are accustomed to the complete absence of any torque or power than an RB20E is able to produce, an RB20DET might feel fast, it will, in reality, be a horribly slow and compromised engine into which you have poured far to much time, money and effort in order to achieve an underwhelming result. That same time, money and effort could be put into dropping an RB25DET in. Or, you could even put in an RB30E+T.

But, assuming you are not discouraged.....this is not a new idea, has been bashed around on the 'net and done a gazzillion times before. So, if you search, you will find.
