I was in the same boat my RB20 went i me and i was stuck with the same problem weither to build it back up again or buy a RB25. In the end i just rebuilt as i was happy with the power i was getting before the problems with it, so i got some aries forgies and got my machanic to rebuild her for me and i couldn't be happier, i am same as roy just like crusin around town and if i want to have fun i have to take it up to about 4200rpm. But remember i have a new recondition engine that should be good for say 150,000km (lets hope) were if you buy a secondhand motor in 6 months down the track after warrenty runs out you might be in the same boat again and have 2 engines that are no good, that was my worry

thank god im from S.A, coz u aint gonna blow this guys doors off mate........actually u probly will coz i most likely wont get traction till 5th

LOL...i dont care if your car has an Apexi turbo, stroker crank etc etc.... a case of beer says the RB20 can neva lose. :(

Are you up for a road trip to Phillip Island in 8-10 weeks...it may be worth a case of beer :)

...and when i had problems i got a wrecker motor, and my 2c is that the std RB20 they pull from a stock car that had std turbo and std ECU is so understressed that you cant really go wrong with them....my wrecker engine just like my original engine loves being punished...and im still yet to blow up an RB20 :)

ive driven a 400rwhp rb26, been in 380rwhp rb25 and a 600rwhp gtr

the only think that come close to the feel of my rb20 with 300rwhp rb20 is the 600rwhp gtr

i love the excitment of the top end power of the rb20

the other cars may have been a bit faster, but mine is more fun :(

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
