Correct me if i am wrong, but that looks like an rb20 engine.  Note the pleniem, oil breather hoses and cam belt cover.

(If i am wrong i will happily delete this post)

im with u. looks like a 20 to me

Hi Guys,

I myself have never seen the car. When imported, I was told that it was RB25DET. As for the 'out of R33' - this only refers to the 5spd, not the engine. I guess the only way to find out would be for me to get an engine number. Personally, I would have thought that the dyno figures ( done by a company I have never had any association with - they were simply near where the car was located) would suggest that there is no way it could be RB20DET. And why anyone would stick an IHI C7 on such a small block. STill, you guys are the techos, so feedback welcome. In the interim, why don't I get an engine number....Oh, as for the earlier postings, I thought that R32 had optional RB25DET fitted from 92/93. cheers.

Not all RB25's had variable cam timing, but that engine does look like an RB20, the outlet on the side of the block for the top radiator hose is the same as RB20, the 25's had the hose fed straight into the side of the head. The plenum looks different to my RB25 too.

my old r32 gtst supposidly had an rb25det, it looked slightly diff to my new 89 model, and it went alot harder then my 89 model does, i.e my old one was as fast as my new one with only 10 psi, while my new one with an fmic, bigger fuel pump, better exhaust, 13psi isnt that much faster, and my old engine looked exactly the same as that except it had the cover over the coil packs, and didnt have a high mount turbo etc, was all standard

Hi All,

Hope this is of no shock to you when I tell you that the engine number is RB25005146A

Guess it's an RB25DET after all......... : )

So after all that fascinating conjecture, is anyone interested in this RB25DET GTS-T?

And can anyone explain to me how I come to have an RB25 with RB20 characteristics? ( I'm asking you this so you don't ask me, as I don't have the first clue)....

PRICE DROP TO $20K. That's $63 per rwKw. Much better value than a Ssangyong Musso.

As mentioned above, the rb25 did come out in the last of the 32's (was improved for the 33's). Your interior has blue gadges, which indicate a early model 32, you never know what these crazy Japs do when modifing their cars :D.

just for info guys, the rb25 that was put into r32's didnt have vvt which is why it has no lumps on it, the only physical way of checking the difference between 25 and 20 heads is by measuing the valve sizes internally(2 hard 2 do for just curiosity) - the 20 heads have smaller valves at 30mm where the 25 heads have 35mm valves which is why most use the r32 25 head for rb30det build ups, hope this helps clear up the looks of the engine.

happy driftn!!!

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
