Great info ...  go the sweet taste of Jack

But ... if you had RB20 setup currently, what would be the logical way to go? Which head would you use?

Also, can you use any bits from the current setup?

In R32 GTST's I prefer the R32 RB25DE top end as it doesn't have VVT. The RB20DET stuff (sensors and manifolds) all basically bolt up, so the R32 GTST wiring harness and ECU work perfectly.

Bits from the current set up, I assume you mean RB20DET. Note that the new RB31DET has an RB26 top end. So I used the injectors (S5RX7T), all the sensors, ignitor, coils, alternator, starter, oil cooler, remote oil filter, radiator (PWR), electric fan (Davis Craig), air filter (pipercross POD), heat shield, ambient air feed, Power FC, Commander, gauges (oil pressure & temp plus exhaust gas temp), sump (it already had wings & baffles), intercooler (std R33 GTR), some intercooler pipework, engine mounts, OS Giken twin plate clutch, fan belt, power steering belt, bottom radiator hose (silicone), alternator bracket, power steering pump bracket, throttle cable, fuel pumps, adj fuel pressure regulator (Nismo), adj camshaft pulleys (Jun), plus lots of mounting hardware, nuts, bolts and washers.

We also have a Stagea, and I will use some of the (no longer needed) RB20DET bits on it. Like the RB25DET turbo (GCG ball bearing hi flow), split dump (Performance Metalcraft), old intercooler (Group A Supra), some pipework, boost controller (Autospeed) and exhaust (suitably modified). I try not to waste anything that is good/useable.

Hope that helps, Happy New Year:cheers:

This engine drives very nice on the street.

I still cant get over the fact that the bottom end can handle 475BHP with stock cast pistons.. lol

What about stock bearings? like ACL brand ? can they handle that power too?

SydneyKid: what ignition timing have you seen RB30DET's (with 25 heads) use on full boost ?

The max power out of standard injectors i could have got was 240rwkw but that was standard fuel pump too. upgrade the stock pump to a bigger unit and you might get more with a Adjustable Rising rate regulator - but thats really unsafe way of doing it and its a prick to tune them at times. (can be inconsistant)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
