you're gonna have to tell me how you did this or where you got it from.

well i cant its a secret project me and my budy is working on for a rb20 :D:O

just kiden it was EZ i took a rb20det intake and cut it of right under the fuel. made six adapter plates for the thottle bodies and welded them on and bolted the throttle bodies on them. the throttle bodies are off of 90s toyota levin (corolla)

that is it! im building a rb20e bottom end with a rb20det head and going to run the throttle bodies open like six carbs hoping to get about 10.5 compression out of it and it will be in a cefiro

This looks absolutely nuts^^^^

Why not use a RB30 bottom end instead of the RB20DE? You will make ooodles of power and torque from a an N/A RB30/26 and that throttle body setup!

the rb30 was not made for the japan market and if u find one it cost a lot and the rb26 is up in price too rb20de can get for free all the time

Over here in Aus you cant give them away :P . RB30 is a common motor here. They are renowned to still have hone on the inside of the bore after 400,000km/s or 250,000miles, and still perfect to rebuild or I have heard of people pushing it hard on 20yr old stock bottomends.

You could get a bare block and the bare necessities sent over to the US for fairly cheap, I reckon. Would certainly be a tough motor in a cefy and N/A too.

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
