hi all

just wondering what is needed internally to build a rb20det to produce over 300rwkws?

are there any little tricks of the trade to building a solid rb?

what oil and water pump should i run?

what brand pistons,rods,bearings,bots are recommended?

Please read the Forced Induction Guide.

Is has a link to a thread about 260rwkw+ for the RB20.

Its over 6-7 pages in length so its possible some of the information is in that thread.

Personally, i think you are wasting your money :)

don't be so harsh on the RB20 Ash, you know it's got the minerals to keep other engines honest ;-)

You know the RB20/300rwkw is well above a 5000rpm adventure.

Probably...but if you have pistons, clean up the top end with some baby cams and some tweaking of inlet/outlet and chamber...nothing dramatic as ti not lose bottom end. The make sure you havbe oil pressure and temp well under control...then 1.5bar up a GT30R will net you close to 300rwkwsand still be pretty driveable

eh not quite man, i pulled 288rwkw on 17psi...and this was on a motor with poor compression.

its possible to do but there may be cheaper ways to go about this.

if you are interested in 'beasting' up the old rb20 take a look at my rebuild thread...ive done everything but rods in the motor.

A GT30 you'll be running ~25psi for 300rwkw

Thats a LOT of boost for not a large amount of power and even running a ball bearing its gonna be very harsh

Remember i ran 270 @ 17psi....

hey mate

if you wanna know how to build a tough rb20 pm dan ( 3lit3_32 )

his rb20 was good for almost 270rwkw (if not more) with a stock head.

he has almost finished mine which is almost identical to his but with head work done.

he would be more than happy to point you in the right direction

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
