Cool, I look forward to seeing the results Are you going to run them with stock lifters etc? Are all RB26 cams the same? By looking at the specs on the Tomei site it suggestes they are, but each model the torque output seems to rise, maybe suggesting a differant camshaft profile for each model?? Are yours 32 or 33 cams?

just thought I'd ask for a opinion from everyone in reagrds to RB20 upgrades After reading a thread in regards to modified RB20 power outputs, Sydneykid mentioned fitting standard RB26 cams to a RB20 from what I can gather on the thread, the cams are a straight swap? I want to use a set, but I am unsure of wether to isnstall them as is,or convert to solid lifters as well The motor itself, hopefully, will remain internally standard, with a rev limit of no more than 8100rpm, so I am unsure if the solid lifters would be a improvement or a advantage? Also, I may add a set of cam gears as well if needed My goal is 230rwkw (currently 200rwkw) at around 1.3bar of boost. I am installing GTR injectors, Microtech computer as well. All the other stuff - HKS GT2510 turbo, FMIC, fuel pump etc are already proven performers and will stay as is Will the GTR cams help, with standard hydraulic lifters, and what type of increases have you seen in the past? Sorry for all the questions, regards, Chris

I sent you a PM in regards to camshafts, but no reply Will give you $200 plus freight Chris

I'd say as long as there all even, should be fine Could be the gauge is a little old or somthing, never know really But they are all even, so I'd give it a thumbs up if it was 140,138,65,142,70,140 or something like that I'd be starting to worry, but they aren't, so nothing to worry about I reckon

Looks that way I heard on the grapevine that HPI magazine pulled its sponsorship of his 33 N1 as well He drove a Rex in the Clipsal 500 rally from memeory????

A mate of mine had his tested, the motor was a good shape and it was 148psi all round I would say its ok Anyone else?

Can I ask where the allignment was done? I agree with Freebaggin, Bridgestone Gouger St, Blackwood Tyre Power have alot of experience with Skylines

Maybe a dodgy valve, not sealing right? Not sure???

Sounds like you are going to have a well sorted package there Roy I would say the BF Drag radials will give you a much better 60ft time than even the best R rated semi-slicks. Don't know how much exactly, as I have never seen or heard of the same car running back to back on differant rubber My plan is for about 220-230rwkw, with as much mid-range as possible. I dont want to change suspension to a drag type setup, as thats cheating in my books - run it they way you drive it everyday - hopefully it will be enough to run a 12 What type of gearbox/diff are you running?

try www.horsepowerinabox.com Chris

Freebaggins RB25 was 148psi all round, that was a few years ago and its making around 265rwkw now, so it is still in good shape

yeah, will give you that mate :uh-huh: - maybe I should drop a RB25 in RB20 will do me for now, hopefully some cams and head work with the new motor maybe? If the bottom end is in good condition, it will stay as is, 230rwkw for a RB20 with decent injectors etc should be no problem Hopefully I can serve up a bit of a to you and greg once its all together, but we'll see If I can run a 12 I will be stoked

Cool, cheers for that My motor is still going strong, so no failure, just want another motor to play with Chris

Yeah, i reckon it sounds all right, anyone else?

I am looking at buying a used motor, the results of a compression test were 155,155,160,160,155, 160 Is this good? What should they be? A quick reply will be helpful regards, Chris

I started to read this thread hoping I could find out what is needed to get into the 12's in my R32 It has turned into a RB v SR v CA bitchfest Who cares what motor is better? Tuned and modifed correctly each motor will produce good power - they are all Nissan engines, all have there strenghts and weaknesses So who really gives a toss!!! So how do I run 12's?

Freebaggins is bolt on, and it hauls ass!!! I have emailed him the link to this thread Chris

Any pics? Wa it out of a R32 or Cefiro etc

HKS GT2510 Turbo Re-mapped stock computer Stock injectors Bosch 040 pump 3" exhaust FMIC 600x300x70mm approx Pod filter with air feed Remote oil filter and cooler Extreme single plate clutch with 4.5kg cromoly flywheel Modifed stock BOV (bypass/overboost hole plugged) 200.4rwkw at 1bar with stock BOV, 200.2rwkw at 0.9bar with BOV modded) Boost controller problems meant that the run with the modded BOV was done with no boost controller, only the HKS acutator contolling boost I'd say 210 rwkw at 1bar with boost controller working. I have run up to 1.4 bar with octance boost, but haven't dyno'd it at that due to boost controller problem In process of planning the next stage to try and get 220-230rwkw Motor is stock, 125,000km and may be replaced with a fresher but still stock example when the next stage starts

So its in pieces? Interested if you can get hold of the rods and pistons, how much are you after for it all? Any idea how much freight would be? Chris

Surely someone must have something????

99% sure i have the cold air feed in the shed at home, will check tonight

I'd be keen, as long as its around $300 count me in no probs

Can you get the N1 stlye inserts for GTR front bars? Also after one of those R32 rear lip spolilers (like of GTR) for my boot
