Probably should really work out what you want out of it power wise, because you may be better of swaping in a 25/26 before you start spending on the RB20.

If you will be happy with 200-250RWkw the RB20 will get there, but if you want a lot more it may be smart to start figuring the costs on a 25/26.

Personally Im spending far too much on an RB20 in a GTS4 but its going to be enough for me if I can get around 250Kw at all four wheels. :cheers:

Im all for chasing more power, but you car aint a GTR so id be addressing susp and brakes before you get too concerned about more power.

In my opinion 250kw's is heaps in a r32 with its slightly lighter body.

Nissan's main reason for adding .5lt of displacement was mainly to compensate for the extra weight of the r33 and r34.

After you put your cooler on, you could invest in a boost controller so you can wind it up a bit and see how you notice the difference.

My car went from 118kw's with just an exaust and pod to

158.8kw's with blitz LM cooler, boch 044 pump, pod, bleed valve (13psi), and re-mapped ecu.

Alot of fun but now im sick of it and want more power.

In my opinion gradually turn your car into a beast so then along the way you can get used to the drivability and power along the way. You will become alot more comfortable behind the wheel and alot safer.

take it easy

As said previously..

If you want some thing that is drivable and gutsy around the street, the RB20 won't do it.

Look in to a RB25 buildup using a R32 RB25DE motor, If you use the R33 RB25DET you will have issues with it not looking stockish.

The RB30DET is a monster. Sounds awesome. :P

Comparing the sound of a RB30DET to a RB20DET is like comparing a 10A to a 13B.

I suspect Joel already knows my thoughts...and i know an RB20 wont out grunt its bigger RB brothers, but to say the RB20 wont do it?!?!?!

Can anyone reading this who has driven my car offer comment...i think my car with the TD06 setup is very driveable, and there is no reason why as a street car cant be driven every day...up to my little cam hickup i was driving my car everyday and had put over 20,000kms on my car with the TD06 in a little over 8 months :P

And i know my car isnt the quickest thing gettig around, but i think its great fun. It lacks a bit of grunt down low, but with a few revs on board it sounds great and goes pretty well. For me i wanted my car to be fun, have a bit of poke and sound trick :(

I can understand others wanting to build the sharpest tool, but my car is for me and i dont need to be the quickest thing out there. Plus i cant afford it (Be great if i could though :Oops: )

So if your thinking is similar to me i wouldnt be so quick to forget about the RB20. I recently was corrupted and started down the RB30 path but stopped when i stopped and considered would my car be any more fun???? With what i use my car for it didnt make sense. Didnt mean i dont want to do it, but throw the $$$$ into the equation and considering my current situation i couldnt justify it.

If you want to beat V8s then to me that aint worth spending the 2-5k to go bigger then RB20. Id be simply looking at throwing an ECU, injectors, turbo and intercooler at your car.(which is still going to easily cost 5k)

Just buy a cheap rb26 and bolt it in. Sell your old engine and for arround 3k you will have a good drivable car. Trust me ive done the conversion and with 211rwkw at 6k and the boost controller wouldn't hold boost past there its already a good package.

Cost me $4000 to get the gtr engine in my car and running and when you compare that to say a rb25 or a rb20 with a turbo upgrade $1500, z32 afm $300, bigger injectors $350, new computer or chip plus tune $500 upto $1500. Add it up. It isn't really worth the money to end up with lots of lag. Although I don't mind the hit of a 20 when it comes onto boost. My 26 power is a bit to linear for a turbo car.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
