we have a custom paint shop, dyno pack rolling road, full engine build shop ect ect, so keeping the car running wouldn't be a problem to be honest.

So you have the cash, "the paint shop", the dyno, "full engine build shop" etc, yet you have no f**king idea how to build this engine thats not the right one for the job anyway?

I should move over there and set up shop methinks.

EDIT: just saw you went the right engine afterall. well done

350bhp with responce would be ace.

SR20DET with GT2530, 230-240rwkw (~350hp at engine) with *awesome* response

easy :)

good to see you went the right way and got the sr20 heh.. if your adventurous and have the money, which it seems you do, you can get the TOMEI SR stroker kit and stroke it to 2.4L - then run a GT2835 for even more power with around the same response as the first setup with the GT2530

edit: for more info, head off onto one of the silvia forums, besides ns.com :)

I've decided to do the RB20DET, not RB24 it, going to spend alot less, down to the fact this has to be a car for the company not just for drifting, i still have my other RS13 which is a drift car so it don't matter if this is not as good. Its more the trick factor.

I need a GTR style Plenum? any ideas were i could get something like that?

Yeah go a s15 front cut conversion like JMS in australia have done.

The SR's are proven too produce the goods and they are still within the weight/handeling capabilities of the cars supension systems.

A full blown sr will munch the RB at drift duties.It has a better flowing head,alloy block! Put quite simply it is a modern engine where as,sorry to say this guys,an RB20 is vitually a dinosour.

If you had an R32 then it would be a different story id say.Then you would start looking at Rb25's/26's.

You will want a light nimble car with loads of on tap power to burn on call mid way through a corner.

What sort of gearbox have you chosen for the car.Custom ratios all the way baby.

As i say the engine has been moved back into the bulk head so it should be very good. As for suspention i'm running on Coil overs so spring rates are interchangable.

Its goign to be built up with TD06 20G now anyways, started ordering th parts yesterday.

THE thing i need the most, is a custom intake plenum? does anyone know were i can get one from, i have money waiting!

unique autosports in sydney <--click here.             

          OR

subzero in brisbane.

Please tell me i'm wrong on this, but looking at there RB20/RB25 half plenum (no runners)

skyplazplenum2.jpg

Don't the RB20DET runners have the back two out of line??? so this wouldn't fit. do RB20 and RB25 stuff fit the same to the head?

I mean do i have to buy this then find a RB25 runners?

Edited by superclarkey

let me start by saying nice choice, i am a bit of a fan of the rb24 and will be building one in the near future, BUT like sydney kid stated i think your goals are a little off for starters are you after 500bhp or 500rwhp (as you stated 500bhp at the hubs?) as there is a big difference and i think both are a little high for what you NEED to go drifting (drifting isn't ruled by hp) i think a figure more like 400 to 450bhp or 340 to 380rwhp would serve you well and should be able to be gain with decent responce. The first turbo that comes to mind is the GT3071R as featured on the ATP web site on a 2.4 litre motor making 400bhp and full boost by 3000rpm

http://www.atpturbo.com/root/releases/release051404.htm

with the motor your building you might even get away with the GT3076R

As for the motor configuration i know your got the money to throw at it but it really doesn't need alot of big dollar engine parts to do what you want reliable.

New R34GTR Crank $1100 aud (good to 10,000rpm and seen 900bhp+)

New N1 oil pump $560 aud

GTR rods with new arp rod bolts (again seen run 800bhp+)

Tomei forged rb24 piston

Tomei gasket kit

Nismo main bearing

Nismo big end bearing

Solid lifter kit

Cams 260deg 10.25mm and adj cam wheels

600cc injectors

Nismo fuel pump for gtr

APEXI pfc and avcr

Z32 afm

gtr intercooler (i would not go big as its not need and would only hinder responce)

Greddy 48mm radiator

oil cooler with relocator(brand etc doesnt really matter)

you'll need to do some nice custom work aswell

exhaust

plenum

head porting

obviously you can buy nicer name brand gear but i just stated what i think you need to achieve your goals and the let over money might be wiser to be invested in suspension, diff, gearbox, brakes, cage etc the gear you really need to be a good drift car.

Lol, Its a case i know what i want to do with the engine, but i've got to convince the person thats funding me to also want to do it. I'm defo doing RB20DET at the moment, i picked up the crank yesterday from Abbey, New GTR34 Crank paid for out of my own pocket, because of the time scale to get this car ready for its car show at the NEC birmingham in Jan, something must be kept simple.

pnblight thats a nice spec and something i was very much looking at. I wanted a GT3071R turbo from ARP but i can't afford it under budget at the moment, so Greddy TD06-20G is were its at.

unique autosports in sydney (just contacted them they do not sell plenum for the RB20DET, RB25 only)

OR

subzero in brisbane. : can someone help me find a contact please for subzero as i can't find a website for them.

The plenum is the most import item at the moment, the engine will not fit without it, so please help me track one down.

MAny thanx

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
