I meant to stay at factory settings :) Any plus power from my engine would be huge. 

BUT it is not happening cuz i talk to the guy and the shipping alone would be around 3500-4500 USD ...which is sadly a no no...

But at least i asked. So thank you for all the info.

Another thing i looked into is/was +T to the that engine but IMO it is harder to get right i would be scared to blow up the engine. 

  • 7 months later...

Hi.
A little bit of an update.
It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway)
So i need some info.

I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one)
LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20.

So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need?
I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go?

Thanks for the advice :) 

If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound.

"Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

  • Thanks 1

Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄
I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit.

On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?)

But anyway thank you for the info :)

Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different).

I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.

Maaaan so many "little" things :D i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad.

I try to learn what and what not do i need.

I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different.
Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing.

On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂 
I know what it looks like :) 

EDIT: Just a little info what my tranny is "doing" :
 

For the long time the trans do this "bad" sound:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs_iTXgDt40
It is literally the same sound and same symptoms(when i push the clutch it quites down)
So is it really the shaft bearing?
 
Also: 
i found this on forums: The RB20 and SR20 boxes are nearly indentical inside (rb20 has longer mainshaft)and suffer badly from bearing and selector failures when driven hard
 
The bearing is true and selector failure kinda too...it is "harder" to get into gears specialy when i drive a little bit hard...

The small boxes will wear out the input shaft bearings.....if and only if you seriously exceed the torque input that they were designed to handle. It is very common for them to give up after a few years behind boosted RB20s and if you put a 25 turbo in front of them they can't last forever.

Behind an NA RB20? Should last forever and ever and ever and ever. If it has died, it is from some sort of mistreatment, or perhaps extremely bad luck.

pretty much just finished my rb20neo + t and manual swap...let me tell you, it is a pain in the ass the first time. took me almost a year at this point trying to chase down minor issues. But, I think if I was to do it again, I could probably do it with almost 0 problems with how much troubleshooting experience ive gained lmao.

So either +T and upgrade the transmission, or just LS swap it and throw in a CD09 lmao. there ya go

@GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last.

My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it.

Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.

 

@Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
