Bin the RB20DET bring on the RB26DETT

I'm getting fecking fed up of the RB20DET, people keep telling me how amazing it is and how hard it is

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO BUY AND PERFOMACE BIT FOR IT, its a fucking joke!

i'm getting to the point were if i don't get a contact to get half of the bits for the engine i'm going to bit this fucker.

How much is a RB26DETT and running gear?? i don't want massive power i just want silly fast responce....

could iget on of these out of a BNR34 for £5K?? or more :O

I now have a full RB26DETT bottom end now so i would be agood spare when i throw a few rods out the side of the block

So how much, i'll make the bastard fit into the S13

[/rant over]

superclarkey

 

sorry ant i do like the engine, but its pissing me off, i have the bottom end off a GTR now, the one i told you about.

But i can't get parts for it and its really pissing me off.

I don't know what to do.

I want to use this engine as its revy but not if bit are so hard to come by that i will spend 3 months getting bits when it blows up.

 

Well every part i want to upgrade people just say "get it off the RB26DETT" its going to be basicly a RB20DET

I wanted a plenum like the RB26DETT, so i've got to get one of those and chop it up as Greddy don't make one and the only other one are crap ones that have been home made, i've been speaking to a mate i've made in oz and he has had alot of experience with the RB20DET and he said the money i'm planing to spend on my engine i may as well get a RB26DETT and do the conversion, i can leave the engine near standard that way

I don't know what i want to do, i've carlmed down somewhat now, i've emailed so many company about parts and it comes back with responces like "we make them for the RB25DET and the RB26DETT but sadly not the RB20DET"

This is what was stressing me out, i think the RB20DET would be an amazing engine if i can hold of the parts.

I have GTR CRank and rods now, i was looking at a set of tomie pistons at 82mm Dia.

But i know you said ant that the cranks are interchangeable, but you can not put a GTR crank in as it will not clear the bottom of the block with out heavy mods

 

Sorry maybe i'm going a little over the top, but it just did my head in today trying to get parts that don't exsist, lol

I want to run the RB20DET but i need the parts to do it,

How about (don't laugh) could i put the head and shit onto the RB26DETT block??

That would make an amazing engine if it could be done

 

Its needs the crank modding and the bottom of each cylinder, then teh crank need to be rebalanced

I'm going to phone around and see what i can get done with it

82mm pistons from tomie rasie the displacment to 2.2 anyways

I've been told that the best plenum to use is the stock one, anything else will slow it down.

Ant we need a chat (mIRC)

 

Ok ant.

 

No, its not the fact that i want more power, its fitting, as i've got the S15 front on my S13 the bonnet is at a steeper angle and the standard one just fits if you drop the engine, so its going to crash into the plenum, so i need a front one like on the RB26DETT.

Also FMIC will be plumbed in stupid, pipes would have to go back across the engine.

It would be a waste of money to spend so much on a nice front mount to run 2 miles of pipe work.

 

Stock RB20DET




RB25DET with plenum i need.

 

I've spoken to someone with that fitted and it lost him lbs and a bit on top end.

but thanx for showing it me
