Dont know, but i have read in several places that the cams are bigger in the RB20DET-R. Just never been able to find out for sure/

Neither has anyone else as yet. However there is one guy with a GTS-R engine in bits on the R31club...but I don't know if he'd have the ability to measure them up. Username is snoopy.

However, I think its a very fair bet they are 248/7.8mm in, 240/7.8mm ex just like the regular NICS/ECCS redtop.

slowly but surely.

Looking good, only a few comments before you weld everything up. Try putting an extra cut down bend or three in the throttle body pipe so it goes around the oil filler cap. It took me a while to get it to work but i am glad i can now fill up oil without touching the top pipe.

Also, see if you can get a tight alloy cast elbow for off the compressor cover then perhaps it will work better being so close to the manifold (heat) . How do the silicon bends go being so close to a high source of heat. Maybe get some of the high temp wrap with the silver foil backign and wrap the silicon joiner.

But on the whole...looking A-Grade. Just thought i would comment based on some experiences i have had with my setup

I think Ash (R31Nismoid) can answer that. The result is flames.

hey roy cheers for the comments, we tried going around the oil cap but couldnt get it right so i just cut the top off the cap, everything is gona be heat wrapped scored 60m from work the other week, also got some off that sticky heat tape that holden use on their cars, is there anywhere in particular you can get the elbows from and would they need to be welded on? ive stil got a few days before it gets fully welded as the other guy is away. cheers

I know my elbow is a cast Greddy bend, which maybe a phone call to a Greddy dealer can helo source one.

It takes a bit of extra love but can go around the filler, but it does help to remove the PCV valve and maybe give the filler cap a tweak all the same. But as long as you can get the cap off.

I am doing a few pipes for people over xmas, they are a pain in the ass and time consuming but worth the effort

adam, just looking in your sig. thats a decent set of numbers for a 20 care to share :blink: ?

no worries mate

tial 38m gate and screamer pipe

3 inch stainless intake pipe with K&N pod

3 inch front pipe

3.5inch cat back

decat pipe

600x300x76 cooler

blitz bov

grex-trust oil cooler kit

gtr radiator

nismo thermostat

nismo rad cap

nismo engine mounts

cusco oil catch can

nismo on rail adjustable fuel pressure reg

big intank fuel pump

R34 gtr rb26 injetors

EMS stinger ecu

profec b spec II boost contoler 20/25psi

has made 405hp @ 26psi about 6 months back, and most recently befor i pulled it apart it made 390hp @25psi and ran 119mph down the qtr

few new goodies have now gone on and a new turbo so im keen to see what it does now, its about 2 weeks away from a tune yet :)

Roy, is that the 10cm rear housing on your TD06?

It looks a bit larger than turboedsloth and my 8cm L2....

Good eye. That pic of the engine bay is about 3yrs old, and was back when i had the 10cm housing. LOL back in the days when it was too laggy to really enjoy

thats brilliant i dont know what impresses me more the numbers or the 26psi on a standard 20, thanks heaps for the inspiration, very keen to hear the results of the new setup :)

I am doing a few pipes for people over xmas, they are a pain in the ass and time consuming but worth the effort

hey Troy if your doing a few of them for other people you can leave mine for the new year. Lets make it sometime mid Jan?

Re all the PMS i have been getting re the pipe. Its not hard to do, just time consuming. I am only doing this for the RB20 brotherhood guys down here in Vic :blink: ...and not getting any money or anything from them...hence the 20hours or so these two will take me is enough for the time being. But like i said, i will put up a tutorial so you can all do your own...probably end up better then my efforts :)

update: welded all the cooler piping up properly and manufactured an exhaust flange. exhaust should be done just after new years hopefully have to work next week solid.

I posted a while back I was taking the GTSR to the ndsoc heathcote drag day.

I did a warm up run off the trailer with the solenoid off to get all the driveline temps up and came straight back around to stage and switched it on.

Started to do a burnout and it started tramping badly and ripped the yoke and uni joint to pieces.

All fixed now. Re the GTSR cams, thankfully I havent needed to measure them yet as I still havent opened the engine up which still suprises me as its had a lot of hard work. Not from me driving it but from the dyno operator sorting issues lol. Its honestly done more WOT trips on the rollers than on tarmac.

Like people have said theres rumours they are larger but I reckon thats what they are...rumours. I have scoured the net high and low and the only times its mentioned about cams is from uninformed people. Never a nissan bulletin etc or whatever clearly stating they received larger cams. Besides the cosmetic differences the only concrete stuff they got is a front mount, stainless tubular manifold and a T3/T4 ( largest turbo fitted to any factory nissan). Dead stock were very underated as well as they make around 170rwkw but are rated at 215ps engine. All I have done is exhaust, ecu, fuel system and turn the boost up to record a best of over 280rwkw.

This peak power is at 6,000rpm though which makes me think cams are same as other redtops. It holds this peak power dead flat for another couple hundred rpm then dives off.

Tuner has tried using less timing and more boost and also less boost and more timing and the result is always the same, 6,000rpm and its all over.

It pegs target boost ( 21psi) at 4,000rpm but I think a lot of that is due to the manifold design and the fact my boost control is not that good as the gate is held 100%tight and then has a spike to about 26 before settling down. With a smooth and stable boost curve the taget would likely be reached later.

Interestingly, since I fitted a 25 box to the back of it I have not been able to repeat the 280rwkw number on the same dyno. Its only making 260rwkw now? Does a 25 box suck 20rwkw over a 20 box? You wouldnt think so but I cant repeat the number that had been repeated many times with the 20 box...food for thought.

I have a worthy RB20 to add to the list, but i would be cheating some, my donor chassis is a 2520lbs 240sx (2700 w/me in it) hehehehe, managed a 11.07 at 128.8mph, 1.521 '60 at low boost (22psi), and from experience, I'm well over 300kw at the rear wheels

the 11.07 run, 1.521 '60: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/19672bf...99e00b51eab.htm

an earlier run 11.48 at 114mph, 1.524 '60 : http://videos.streetfire.net/video/a8b026e...98e0175d428.htm

running slicks of course, 26 X 8.5 X R15

I'll be crancking the boost some this summer with a few more mods, looking to be in the deep 10's, how low i'm curious

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
