  1. the RB20 is laggy because it is a low compression 2L six with tiny exhaust pulses.
  2. check out computer shops, many have heat shrink colour cable cover stuff. its like PVC or something, looks great too.
  3. 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)
  4. aparently they keep the specs of their hi-flows well guarded, so none of their competitors can copy.
  5. 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.
  6. also, 280s were all over the place, but as a general rule, manual had R200, auto had R180, but there are some exeptions.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. the mainfold has the same bolt pattern as that gasket you posted, but it comes with 6 individual gaskets, and a turbo - manifold gasket.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. hell yeah, i needs me sum fuli hektic JDM sand YO!
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. I went with an EMS 8860 ecu. It set me back $1450 plus tune.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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)
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
