Would it be a wise choice to dry sump the 2.0L engine with an external oil pump to have it rev over 8500RPM?

Thanks carl h, ca springs could be found but the z32?? not sure what engines these are carl h.

Yeh looking at larger cams. Stiffer valve springs to suit would be good.

Has anybody used stiffer than standard valve springs from another engine type for the RB20DET????

OK, silly me for asking, but what are poncams and what are their specs?

It's hard to figure what the problem might be without some more info on your setup. But basic leak checks, overtemp checks, restrictions to airflow and stuff like this.?? Turbine

Ill take the injectors Just PM me and we'll go from their Turbine

About this block. How is it that it will handle 800 horsepower. An RB20 will not breath that much air to make 800 H.P. I'm interested in it but need some more info, maybe a picture so I can compare the standard RB20 to it. Turbine

Yeh well the rb30 engine will have an extended torque curve that nice on the street. Just check if it's legal to put that in the car. I'd probably just repair whats failed, spend as little as you need so you can get back on the road as soon as you can.

It's probably not a matter of it being restrictive, but more a question of if it will distribute the air evenly to all cylinders. <_< Use the standard RB20 plenum but modify it internally for that effect. Turbine

Have you guys got any modified oil pumps, or do you run with the standard machined piece? Turbine

Thanks for the reply mate. cheers

Does somebody have an acurate Flow figure for an RB20DE fuel injector. Also how about standard VL RB30 injectors, what do they flow at? I had some VL injectors tested and cleaned today which flowed 260 cc/min @ 43.5 psig, I thought that was a bit low. ?? Thanks Turbine

My 2 bobs worth on that plenum assy. It looks all wrong. It's angle relative to the direction the airflow has to travell is too severe to me. It may have the actual correct plenum area, but just not put in a practical position. No.1 cylinder would get a different air signal than No.6 cylinder, wich means you'll have to run an ECU that trims injectors for deficient balance of the engines breathing hardware, which is a bandaid approach for a balanced setup. And the 80 or so mm throttle body mount is in my opinion way too large for an RB20/25. That's my thoughts on these type of plenum assemblies. And the fact that they are so much money to buy. Waste of time. I have a modified stock plenum assembly on my race car, check that out on my RB Racing post soon. Turbine.

Can somebody help out with whats happened to all my posted photos in my gallery. Also have lost my avatar. Is their a way to recall them ??? Thanks Turbine

500 ponnies at the tyres out of my RB20 would be fun ride

I paid 40bucks US for mine. It's accurate. Your reaction time will never be any better that the units, for 0 - 60 or 1/4 mile runs. Biggest downfall is they are dangerous on the street. You takes your eyes off the road at speed to watch them. Be carefull where you put the display. Regards. Turbine

Maybe you could let us know what sort of health your engine is in. Is it new??, has it got 200,000 +K's on it??. All that sort of stuff. Sounds like a good start

Hard Parts in Melbourne (Seaford) The guys name is Alex, he should be able to help you out. They build street and strip autos. Turbine.

Hi Roy, for controlling boost the valve is actually a phneumatically actuated - electrically controlled rotating spoon valve 3" in diameter. Was primarily used as a shutoff valve on the Hornet for engine bleed air. It has provision for position sensing and can be locked into any open position electrically. It has a light spring load bias in the closed position and uses differential air pressure on both sides of a diaphram to control the movement of the valve. It's very sensitive to pressure changes. I've got pictures of it, just got to find a spare moment to post them up in my gallery. Oh yeh I thought about the comment I made about Fuel. The C16 we will use for comparison sake, just to show what it really does for your engine. We're just going to run it on optimax pump fuel. This way other people with RB20's will at least be able to correlate modifications and tuning on standard fuel.

You have seen the secret in action CEF11E. Their is a little more to the reason why it works best, but its something to think about. Applying this to the lil RB20 going to spread it's wings just that little more

Hey rob, We can use anti-lag if we need it, the Autronic has that option. About the air temp.. I mean the air that reaches the cylinder head, that temp must be 60 - 80 *C. High powered turbo engines need good coolers, but the ideal temp at the head or valve is 60 - 80 *C. C16 is the only fuel we will run.

MattSR, We have provision to measure exhaust manifold pressure on the standard RB20DET manifold. The eventual goal is to have for evey 1 PSI on the inlet___0.5 PSI on the exhaust. If we cant do that then its like pushin you know what up hill. Turbine
