fjs r good motors and respond realy well 2 mods, a mate has a ra40 celica with a fj20det its a stock engine with ems,fmi,3",t04 on 10psi and made 310 rwhp no shit, its ran a low 13,

i own a z18et bluebird and a rb30e(soon et ) r31, as much as i like the skyline people expect them 2b fast but if u want 2piss people off beat them in a bluey :flamed:

up the bluey

p.s. this is pro910 logged in as hr31_rb20det

History of the FJ20.

Nissan were on the verge of greenlighting an F1 campaign in the early 80's, when F1 was small displacement engines running ridiculous boost levels. The FJ20 started life as the FJ15, and was designed to cope with power levels approaching 1000bhp, not bad for a 1.5 litre four.

Nissan pulled out at the last minute, and with millions of $$ R&D invested in the programme

(and tooling), stretched the capacity to two litres & fitted them to DR30 Skylines.

So the FJ20 is one VERY serious motor. Yes the SR20 is lighter, but serious horsepower freaks know that the FJ is tha shizzle.

Anyone remember Jeff Watsons FJ20 drag Sprite ?

for starters weight does play a large part in any forward motion regardless, if you have two cars with the same rough power output but 200Kg weight difference whos going to be faster, everyone knows the difference between just them in there car and when your mates are there too, the only true way to see which is better is in a controled enviroment.

EVL032 bad luck mate!!

nothing wrong with both motors, each to there own, also there are a few fj24det's out there.

I've been in a Gemini that cost about $5000 all up, only has 198hp at the wheels, and would munch a Skyline any day of the week!

thats nice, but as i said you put 4 mates in the same gemi and see how well it goes.... my skyline weighs in around 1150KG with the rb20det in it you put it next to a r32 with the same mods and mine will be in front!

at the end of the day the post i started will finally be resovlved with the fj20 i raced getting a dyno today so i will see what he had! i will get mine onced the T3/T4e goes on n we see how the Rb20 pans out once the turbo is on i think the forges will help me run higher boost safl;y so y he beat me in the FJ yes my car is reliable so iam happy!!!!!

sorry boys but it proves my point that i was right cause a mate with an FJ made 157rwkw and this guy with a microtec exhaust n FMIC makes 180rwkw.

thats one to me see it has more than he was saying yeh sorry thats just me boasting that i was right me = happy now

MERRY XMAS ALL

no iam not actually i would rather the RB20det. parts r easyer to obtain....BUT if u actually read the original post u would see that we were arging wheather it was just a FJ20 with microtec, xhaust, FMIC now at 180RWKW that proves i was right no way is that an FJ20 with only those mods.....sooo yes i was right

can any1 confirm that a stock fj motor with 15psi , microtech, fmic, exhaust, air intake. can make 180rwkw?!

Right first is first...NOE is not that way to spell KNOW or NO.....

An FJ20 with those mods will make that sorta power, the biggest power restictor on an FJ is the standard ECU/airflow meter....180rwkw is not outta veiw of an FJ with those mods

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
