zanda, well i did take it all with a pinch of salt, so i did my research and here is what i found...

240kW at 5250rpm and 450Nm from 2000-4500rpm

6psi turbo pressure

so, its got a small turbo, producing reasonable power - but a long throw and a poor RPM ceiling as a result. But, to it's credit it makes full boost at low revs because of it's high engine capacity.

that is what its set to as the standard, and the compression ratio is 8.7:1.  Being a 4 L engine it has alot more potential. I just wonder what ford got out of it before it reached danger zone.

I disagree with this statement - and not because it's a ford, although I do think that's why it's happenned.

When commodore moved to a turbocharged engine for the VL - they did so through a negotiative bargaining agreement with nissan - because Nissan were familiar with the engineering behind turbocharged engines.

they made a n/a 6, a turbocharged smallish six, and a V8 holden for the clan who are committed to their big block pushrods.

however, ford recognised that in order to sell cars to the modern australian market, any performance vehicle larger than a 200sx has to have big cubes. this is both what will make the car a sales success and a performance failure.

big stroke = big buckling forces = bent rods.

capa  http://www.capa.com.au/xr6.htm has already released kits that boost it to 350kw and they are working on a 380kw which they think they can achieve no sweat. [/b]

so it doesnt make much more power than a semi-stock GTR? which will do high 12s?

I just dont think people realise how much faster a car has to be to do tens.....so they make up some horseshit about 10 seconds.... I can't see it happening.

I also heard from a ford guy that the trubo can be set as high as 32psi, but i still got to verify that.

I beleive that the ford turbo is a ceramic wheel - so I doubt it.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
