    the RB20 is laggy because it is a low compression 2L six with tiny exhaust pulses.

    check out computer shops, many have heat shrink colour cable cover stuff. its like PVC or something, looks great too.

    ^^^ sooooo true

    i made 164rwkw on stock turbo about 11psi (stock boost, increased a bit because of exhaust) all i had to make it was exhaust, fuel pump, FMIC and a tune (EMS 8860 ECU)

    aparently they keep the specs of their hi-flows well guarded, so none of their competitors can copy.
  6. nissan_280zx
    how much boost was it running? what is the shaft play like? does it come with the compressor outlet elbow? if so i am interested. pics please.
  7. nissan_280zx
    mainfold sold

    also, 280s were all over the place, but as a general rule, manual had R200, auto had R180, but there are some exeptions.
  9. nissan_280zx
    yes the long nose R200 diffs do fit in our early Zeds, but you might require some other parts to make it fit because i believe you would have an R180 diff as standard, not 100% sure tho.

    i have a similar question, i have an RB20, with full 3inch turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Fuel pump, ECU running on MAP sensor (no AFM). i have been offered a stainless steel mainfold and brand new ( he has receipt) T04E/T3 with .67 AR. how would this go on my motor? or should i just grab the mainfold and get a RB25 turbo too?
  11. nissan_280zx
    i run an EMS 8860 on my RB20. It does well for fuel econ when cruising, an average of 9l per 100km at a guess. and it does drink a bit when i get up it tho. But on a stocko RB20DET with an exhaust and FMIC i am making 220rwhp on stock boost. i just upped the boost to about 13 - 14 psi and it still runs great. the whole lot runs of the TPS and MAP sensors, so no MAF for me.
  12. nissan_280zx
    yeah i already know its a T3 flange, so all is good. might just have to get a new turbo any way tho, seeing as i will need mew oil and coolant lines anyway. see what the bank account says.
  13. nissan_280zx
    the mainfold has the same bolt pattern as that gasket you posted, but it comes with 6 individual gaskets, and a turbo - manifold gasket.
  14. nissan_280zx
    looks like the manifold i have must be from an rb 20/25 then, because it has the 2 front ports bolts one way and the other 4 are opposite.
  15. nissan_280zx
    thanks for the fast replys i should not have any clearance issues as the motor is in a 280ZX, and it has a large engine bay. that would be great if you could compare the 2 for me mate. cheers

    I have an RB20DET. I have access to a full stainless turbo manifold for a VL turbo, would it bolt to an RB20 head? I searched but could not find anything. please help out.
  17. nissan_280zx
    hell yeah, i needs me sum fuli hektic JDM sand YO!
  18. nissan_280zx
    how about a FMIC!!!!! if you dont have one get one now. Then go with Fuel pump, injectors and a ECU, and you will be laughing
  19. nissan_280zx
    i would suggest you do a compression and leak down test, if that goes ok, I would check the valve train. If all seems to be good, i would be happy with that.
  20. nissan_280zx
    I went with an EMS 8860 ecu. It set me back $1450 plus tune.
  21. nissan_280zx
    My RB20 is putting out 165 rwkw All i have done is: -fuel pump (still stock pressure) -3 inch exhaust -FMIC -ECU still no boost controller and running on BP ulitmate
  22. nissan_280zx
    I am curently making 165 rwkw (221rwhp) on stock turbo and stock boost in shootout mode. All i have done is front mount, exhaust, fuel pump and ECU. I have not touched the boost on the thing so it should be at the standard 10-11psi?? That is what the RB20s run isnt it? Soon i will have a FMIC spray hooked up and will be winding the boost up a bit.
  23. nissan_280zx
    I believe a GCG hi-flow is around the $2000 dollar mark? correct me if i am wrong. Aftermarket turbos can vary alot in price depending on what you want, but you have to think that a hi-flow will bolt straight on, where as an aftermarket one might take some work. (oil lines ect)
  24. nissan_280zx
    YAY, that motor is in a Z or ZX isnt it? I love the toyota motor conversions in them, i would have done one but i could put in an RB for way less money.
  25. nissan_280zx
    SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER!!! i have been searching and searching and this is the only thread slightly related. I have just performed an engine swap putting the RB20 into my 1981 280ZX. I need my reverse lights working or i am not allowed on the road.
