What cars these suit? What car was it on? Is it a straight plug in replacement with standard computer then just a matter of having it tuned? Ta. Chris.

Dude, wholey sh*t! I want it. haha Lots of love, chris and sarah. haha... you queer.

Pretty sure he's sold it...

What sort of condition is the good one in? Shaft play? How 'broken' is the other Both internal gates? Ta. Chris.

Could have swore i saw these plates on a little white ute just the other night?

Very expensive, thats probably why your not seeing much interest.

lbfalcon: Kinda hard with the dump pipe on? RSTME: Not for sale yet Comes out of the panel/paint next week, goes in for a tune a few days after that. See how it goes

Dont mind if everything is running maxed - as long as it can cope with it. (Dont' want to put it on the dyno, find out something can't handle, buy that thing, put it on the dyno, find another thing etc etc) Would rather just have it all there and ready. Don't want to run more the 14pis. (or less ) I s'pose that it's always going to be a touchy subject as most people get different results etc - so i might just have to bite the bullet and see if the safc can cope with what i want on std injectors, if not - new injectors for me, and an safc will be up for sale with all of 15 minutes dyno use haha... Thanks. Chris.

Bump? Anyone?

Hey all. I've got an rb20det in my silvia. Has: high mount manifold rb25 turbo(Modified to use external gate) external gate (14 psi spring) Front mount 3"exhaust walbro fuel pump sard fuel pressure reg. (Car doesn't drive atm... just has these things fitted) I have an safc 2 sitting in the garage, will the safc be able to cope with this setup? (Will it be able to handle a minimum of 14 psi due to external gate? (Not planning to run more then 14psi on rb25 turbo )) If required, does the safc cope with changing injectors/afm??? Ta. Chris.

Willing to seperate? I want motor, turbo, injectors, computer. And clutch If you'll seperate, gimme a pm. I have some spare cash i can let go off

Aha, good idea staying away from the de motor. It'd probably be fine with good tuning etc, but, i'll never risk it again. The guy i have rebuilding the rb20det, plays with them all the time - so he shouldn't stuff it up Though, i haven't gotten through to him in about 2 weeks, has stopped answering the phone. Aha. I windge and complain alot though, so i don't blame him. Will answer it the day it's ready so i can't windge at him Ahah Hopefully b4 christmas

I am also pretty interested in this, i've also got an rb20 in a s13 - tacho doesn't work at all though Have been considering getting a cheapo ebay monster tacho, but have been hesitant as i've heard some stuff about some not working, something to do with the coil packs or what not? Anyone have any more info on these

got any pics?

Sticking with the det motor, fixing the big end bearing and whatever else is mangled. Shouldn't be *to* much longer, hopefully, it'll last a little whlie this time ahah. Maybe i'll drive it like a grandma Regards, Chris.

send pics to [email protected] please thx

Yer it looks as though it's going to be off the roads for a little while. Still haven't pulled te motor out to actually see what went wrong. Not really sure which motor will be better to fix up - big end bearings on the det, or something (hopefully minor) piston related on the de. *sigh* Gotta love cars. Regards, Chris.

Just an update. Got the manifold all cleaned - put the new rb25 turbo on it. Took it for a drive and it was all sweet for about 5k's. Then bam. Motor is not very healthy ahah. Piston rings are initial thoughts, though, won't know until the motor is pulled apart. Note to self - buy a pushbike. Regards, Chris.

Is the rb20e same as rb20de? If so, give me. Just tell me how much to get it to QLD ahah. Ta. Chris.

Oh well. Suppose i better keep it updated. Chucked a new rb25 turbo on it. Drove ok, though, didn't get up it (not tuned) at the moment its just high mount, rb25 turbo, external gate, exaust, front mount. So i was a bit iffy to get up it, just let the gate open up then i'd change. Drove 2k's - 2nd turbo blew up. Pulled it off, the manifold has bits of weld on the inside falling off, going through the exhaust wheel. So, not good. Getting that fixed up tomorrow, then putting, yet another rb25 turbo on it Probably won't have a chance to boost it hard and see how it goes compared to the old det until it's tuned. Which should be about another week... Also after turbo died, we checked compression 160 accross all except 140 cyl.3 So, it's not that far of the det's ratings at the moment. So i really doubt there will be much change if it was just a straight swap. Regards, Chris.

*sigh* Had the motor up and running today, drove it 100m, without the safc (just to see if it drove) Bam! Turbo blew up. exaust wheels are smashed, really bad and, there also seems to be a knocking from the engine - maybe lifters, though, i fear another big end bearing Thats what the last engine was replaced for, what a waste of money for 100m test drive. Coulda got a lot of taxi rides with it Throwing another turbo on it tonight - hopefully it'll run fine... *fingers crossed* though i doubt it. Very much. Regards, Chris.

B) She's apples. Hopefully i'll get out of it ok, and have a reasonably reliable motor... Anything else i should be monitoring though while it's on the dyno? I'm not tuning it personally, though, have a mate doing it He seems to know what he's doing ahaha. Regards, Chris.

Rb25 is internal gate, but been modded to run external (not by choice, with the top mount it doesnt fit between the turbo and the motor ) I might stick with ~250rwhp for a while just to see how the motor holds up... Initial plans where to gas it and see what happened, though, i gotta get the det rebuilt first. (main reason i haven't played with cams etc) 250 in the silvia should be enough to keep me drift happy for a lil while anyway. pfc? Be nice to have, but i went el cheapo safc aha - not 100% sure if it's got knock sensor... actually come to think of it, it might do - i remember it had something over the emanage that made me buy it? *shrugs* Also just noticed there was a thread in the na section relating to this topic, so i've had a read through that. Though, noones actually said what power it'll take to blow the lil de... Regards, Chris.

This thread is kinda old, but i'll post up anyway. Incase anyone wants to know in the future? Blew up my rb20det (big end bearing) and have just dropped an rb20de motor in. High mount manifold rb25 series 2 turbo External wastegate safc 2 sard fuel pressure regulator walbro fuel pump front mount 3" exaust turbo back Boost controller It goes onto the dyno on thursday (sunday at the moment), and i ain't going to be shy about the amount of boost it runs. I want as much power as the standard rb20det injectors can handle... (hopfully around 300hp atw) Not sure how long the motor will last, but, gotta find out 1 way or another as noone seems to post up any results Regards, Chris.

Couldn't really find to much info when i searched. Other then oil squirters on the pistons? And 10.5 compression compared to 8.5 in the det? Does anyone know what the differences are between the rb20de and the rb20det? Just done the big end bearing in the det, and have got a de motor. Put a highmount manifold on it, series 2 (steel wheel?) rb25 turbo, external gate, walbro fuel pump, sard fpr, safc 2 with a cheap boost controller, front mount and 3" exaust. Not really to sure of the power i'm expecting, or even how much power the de will handle before it pops. Has anyone got any differences on the 2? How much boost they can handle? What sort of power figure i am looking at (Been told high 200hp with a fair bit of boost) Just a bit worried as it's just been dropped into the car and is havin the gate and turbo fitted this weekend. Gets tuned some time during the week, wanna make sure i don't push it to hard or whatnot. Regards, Chris.
