Not a problem:P I actually want your car, but.. i'd have to sell mine first and its just a pain in the ass.

Loved the flutter on friday when you were reversing, mate was giving it to me saying that my car should do it, it will soon enough providing i can find an engine that isnt rediculously overpriced.

HMm, yeah but its so easy for the swap... bolt out, bolt in:)

nah mate the rb20's are still going in 33's, aint that bad, still beats a the average lancer n shit, good first car.

I want the rb20 because one, i can afford it, two, i dont want to much power, three, i dont need 2 upgrade brakes or engineneer it.

Where as alot of work is required for the 25. Being only 17 i dont wana kill myself either.

I've seen how hard the 25's can go, and its really just too much for what i can handle at this point. If you can kinda see where im coming from. It wont be that bad anyway.

The RB20DET with its cheap bits is a top idea.

The RB25DET is overrated anyhow, the torque difference isn't THAT huge. I borrowed Adams 33 last night, and while it was sweet and you could pick the torque- its wasn't the gap I expected (given how hard people cane RB20's on here.)

OR, build an RB30DET... mmmmmm Rb30.

The 150 odd kgs are nothing really - just up your boost a bit to compensate!!

More like 5.0 V8 beware, not lancers :P

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
