Hi all RB20 fans. I wish to let others aware that TURBO'S are not always the go. I have RB20 with tripple Webers feeding it. My own design and it works well. Is putting 120kw at rear wheels. Not much you say but is fine by me. I am after a set of RB20 Extractors , tuned if possible, but not for turbo unit. Can anyone help? I also wish to install a RB25 de head and all accessories and was wondering if it does fit without dramas to a RB20. Again any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards RAY

Hi Ray,

welcome to SAU! good to see some more C110 owners joining up!

i have been doing a bit of research into putting RB25's into the C110 (as that is my plan for my GTR replica), from what i have read (there is bits about it in the thread about the RB30 bottom end conversion in this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=15420) but i have to warn you it is a very long thread!!! try looking at one of the members, joels signature, look at the pfd document he has created, it discusses it a little in there.

you need to do some extensive work to get the RB20 head to fit onto the RB30 bottom end, the RB25 head fits up to the rb30 bottom with very minimal modification (R32 RB25DE needs none, R33 RB25DE with VCT needs mods to the VCT oil feed).. so therefore you would need to do some extensive work to get the rb25 head onto the rb20 bottom..(i think the water and oil galleries do not line up)

is there a reason you want to go with the RB25 head? the only thing i can think of is the larger inlet/exhaust ports.. but it would be damn expensive (just in the mods alone, let alone the cost of the head) just to do it for that, maybe goto an RB25 bottom too (though it sort of subtracts from the whole GTR thing)

as for the tuned headers, try placing an add in the wanted section, you might get lucky!

would love to see some pics of your car, especially the engine bay!! did you do the conversion yourself?

Hi/ Thanks for the reply. Yes I have done all the conversion with the motor. However my 2 door is a KPGC110 (1973) not common to these shores with 4 wheel discs. rear deck spoiler, flares and all the goodies. Has been completely rebuilt over the last 2 years. I could send you photo's, however I am new to this and am unsure how to do it. I also for your help if you have a 2 door, of the 240K body shape then I have ALL manuals in English and Japanese on disc and book form. I have been collecting for 22 years.

You may wish to contact via email That is okay. What part of the world do you reside? I am in Brisbane,

Regards RAY

mp3 - sound file.

What Adam is saying (in normal, non computer techno geek talk) is:

"Cool. That must sound sweet. I would love to hear the Weber/RB20 setup at full song :) :headbang: :uh-huh:

I too would love to see your rig. I've got a 2 door 240k, which currently has a P76 V8 engine in there. (Sacrilege, you may say, but I'm kinda attracted to the old Skool feel of the old pushrodosaurus). The car's not a goer at the moment, as it's my long term project.

I found a wrecker down the Gold Coast who claims to have about 10 240K's in his yard. I'll try to find his number and get back to you.

Oh yeah, manual on Disk would be very sweet (unless you have a spare hard copy you'd be happy to part with)

hahaha you're too diplomatic. Mine's rough as guts at the moment. No need to hold back - I just bought it a few months ago, so you won't offend me if you tell me you think it looks like a pile of pus (which it does :rofl: )

I just scored a full efi setup for the V8 the other day, and am planning to build a programmable ECU for it. That'll keep me out of trouble for a while.

My email is [email protected]

When you send the photos of your car, I'll email you my postal address, so you can post the disk. Thanks again for the offer.

Hi okay then what is the best way to increase SOME power I am not fitting a Turbo. I am trying to locate a set of extractors for the RB20 Hard to find. Not even built still from my sources in Japan. Ray

You don't want to fit a RB25 head on the RB20 block - you'll lose a heap of compression, not to mention that the bore size of the RB20 is considerably bigger than the RB20 bore size (86 vs 78).

I understand N/As really need longer duration cams than turbos, which probably means custom grind. Or you could try RB20DE or RB25DE camshafts.

Port the head.

Shave a few thou off the head to raise the C/R. Fit domed pistons.

G'day Ray. Thanks for the photos :rolleyes:

If you want extractors, just get a set of custom ones made, to suit the driving you plan on doing (ie rev range). if you shop around, you might be surprised how cheap it can be. There's an exhaust shop at Slacks Creek who do work for a great price, but I don't know how good they are at designing perfromance exhausts (have not dealt with them personally).

I believe that a well designed custom system will be better than an off the shelf system every time, as you build it for your specific needs and engine tune.

Hope this helps

Peter

[ Yes I have tried a few and the cost is staggering. $900, Although I wish for tuned length I am endeavouring to get modified cams and upgade a few other bits. RayQUOTE=warps]G'day Ray. Thanks for the photos :P

something like these would be what u want .. pretty sure thats a Rb20DE ..or maybe 25 .. anyways ...same difference ..

R31house in japan i think made these .. dont quote me ..just assuming that coz the photo was on their website. ..so the headers suit R31 ..so somethingl ike that would easy fit into your car i would think.

the latter 3 pics are of a rb30 de with solex carbies i think .. or maybe something else...

Matt

Enjoy

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
