My Budget RB20DET-

 

Imported with HKS Super Dragger exhaust and K&N Big Mother air pod

Added TurboSmart boost controller - $250, dynoed @ 150rwkw

Added Dump Pipe - $300

Added Cold Air Induction - Free

Added RB25 Turbo - $350

Added Front-Mount - $500 (inc pipes, see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47918)

Added additional Cold Air Induction - $50

 

Next I want to remap the ECU and then it's time to Dyno it again. Hopeing to be around 200rwkw for around $1K. Then that's it with RB20DET, move on before blowing the budget.

I don't think you can achieve a real 200rwkw with the small stock injectors, from the dyno i have experience with, the stock injectors will max out 180rwkw and by then the mixtures will be fairly lean at that.

My Rb20 with RB25 turbo, pod and 3" turbo back exhaust did only 130 rwkw with stock boost and everything else and 11.3 A/F ratio.

My RB20 did 150rwkw with 3" cat back exhaust, pod and turbo smart boost controller on the UAS dyno. What Dyno where you running it on? I've now got a FMIC, 3" dump pipe, CAI and an RB25 turbo, hasnt been dyno'ed with the latest mods yet however.

my 2c...which aint much :)

 

buy a rb30 bottom end from wreckers (mine cost $100 ;))

buy an rb25de head (mine cost $750)

do a std bottom end rebuild of the rb30 using same pistons, just hone, new rings and bearings ($850?)

 

bolt on head to block, drill tap tensioner, $30 timing belt, 2x rb30 tensioners ($80 ea)

 

how much so far?...using rb20 sump, manifolds, turbo (i am to start :)) water pump, rb20 oil pump....no costs here.

 

redrill engine mounts to lower engine, plug in rb20 sensors, mod front pipe.

 

done...turn key and watch the rb30 rumble for under 2k.

 

But as they say...the spending never stops once it starts....i wish i had kept to the plan above and watch people grin :)

 

Seriously though i had the same drama as you. Rb20 blew, and went the rb31. Never look back now :)

The rebuild costs your mentioning, is that doing it yourself? Would there be the need for any boring or machining?

Na stock injectors are good for 200-220rwkw. my 32 makes 190rwkw with stock injectors, pump, reg etc no worries.

I didn't think you could put the rb20 head onto the rb30 bottom end? Is what your saying just a miss type? Or can it really be done?

Using my Rb20 head would be a lot more easy, then looking for an rb25 head if I went that way with a motor build up.

Shoot about 10 years ago using an RB20 cylinder head on RB30's was common. It is a prick of a job, welding, redrilling machining etc. But the result was better than a SOHC cylinder head. Wouldn't even think of doing it now with RB25 cylinder head's being so common and RB26 top ends being almost affordable. :P

    • 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.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
