Item: rb20e

Location: outer east, melb

Item Condition: good (been sitting outside for a year)

Reason for Selling: motor is too fast for me

If anyone has any need whatsoever for an RB20E engine they can have one with about 70,000km on it.

Was driving perfectly before the owner of the car decided he wanted to downgrade performance and fit an RB25DET and 5 speed manual so if you are interested in a serious high performance motor, you can have this one.

that's not gaffa's old engine is it?

Just to clarify for the slow people... RB20E is a SOHC 2.0L non turbo engine. Ie, you take the Rb30E engine that's in a VL or R31, and you reduce it by 1L and this is what you get :D

you could also use something like this to boost performance... to match an RB20DE or something.

I've replied to two PM's who got in before you AlexCim, if either of them two dont pick it up tonight, you get the opportunity tomorrow.

Cheers

ahh gaffa's another forum member in SE melbourne who had the awesome power of an RB20E in his R32 GTE, he's since converted it to RB25DE powah.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
