mustve been something wrong there for a ringland to go in a rb20det....what caused it, if i may ask?

Im not too sure, there was a bit of pinging involved im guessing.

Im not too sure yet if its a ring land, but its suspected, as there is alot of oil getting straight into the bore, and getting burnt up causing a bit of smoke.

My old man is ping tone deaf. :P

He held it down in his EF Fairmont some time back and it was rattling its head off. I was like aaaaahhhhhh stop.... Its pinging its head off, No wonder its blowing smoke in the revision mirror.

I can't hear it pinging he said. :)

my guess is somebody thrashed the pants off it running silly high boost and stock ecu, as seems to be all the rage these days.

you can use but you'll have to swap all the sump and things over as that has your front diff in it, whereas on RWD it doesn't.

do a search and you will find some info..

To your original question - the sumps are different between the RWD and AWD versions of the RB20DET - you can't swap sumps between the 2.

I just happen to have a RB20DET from a GTS4 sitting on the garage floor (in Melbourne). PM me if you are interested.

I had one let go, but only because it blew a water hose.

I've had a ring-land go, big time (on another RB20DET, not the one I offered you). Chunk of piston hit the end of the sparkplug and shut the gap right down, then shot peened the combustion chamber and top of the piston. Broke a ring, and bent it upwards. Engine ran on 5, sounded like a chaff cutter. Amazingly, the bore is still perfect.

And how did you's run on the 5 cylinders? Much smoke out of exhaust? Mine blows abit when u free rev it some times... the radiator israther bubbley..

Hey mate, I have a R32 GTS4 motor sitting in my garage, it has the head off of it, comes with front diff, basically consists of:

block with pistons in it

head complete

plenum

coilpack and injectors

I am in Brisbane also. I am moving interstate in a few weeks so I want it gone. I have it advertised in the forsale section but am quite neg on that price. pm me if you are interested.

Did a comp test on the motor today, #1 is holding 50psi, which is not a very good sign, so its time for replacement pistons.

gts4diehard: Cheers buddy, but ive got a spare rb20det block sitting here, gonna replace damaged pistons, put in new rings, and bearings also.

Thanks for the help guys.... will let you's know how i got next weekend when it gets ripped apart...

PS: I moved away from mitsubishi's hoping i wouldn't have to touch motors again... little did i know.. nissans are just as bad.. hehehe..jks..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
