its been covered many times before, people trying to obtain stupid figures from the rb20 or similar variants. speak to a mechanic and get a price on your engine ideas, see how much its going to cost (and survive relibably). instead of the 26 you may want to look into the rb30 with the twin cam conversion as an alternative

Well ATM im straping on a T3/T4 Hybrid just to try and get a little better responce so that will be on for a little while Im not going for big power figures never was not interested in high HP or I would have just brought a GTR or a RX7.

about the closest to that rpm would be a counterweight billet crank like JUN/HKS which rate upto 13 000rpm with other associated parts (note: f**kin pricey $$$)

a revving engine is a total different thing to drive to a large capacity engine. personally i like revs heaps more, and the way the tacho goes from 4000rpm str8 to 8000rpm or whatever as soon as it hits boost is the best feeling.

slow revving might pull harder but they feel sluggish and deisel like, hehe, even my old mans 5L VN group A SS with vortech supercharger feels slow becuase the power is too linear. but each to their own :P

Perhaps you could get your tach recalibrated? This would be the cheapest way to get there (just keep quiet no one will know, they will be real impressed! ). Seriously though that is a pointless thing to do, if you even got the engine to stay together you would need massive head flow numbers you would have no low down torque the cars gearing would be wrong Blah

Not a silly question about a high revving RB20.

Our goal is to cram 10,000 RPM out of these engines for drag racing purposes. The ten second barrier and beyond.

I really dont think it's that too hard a deal considering the strength of the bottom end internals.

Cylinder head max flow numbers may restrict you though. (not sure about this yet)

Their is a few threads on this, you may want to do a search.

Good luck.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
