Engine Work. What To Go For For More Power?

[Italiazr1]

Ok i have an r32 gts-t rb20

my mechanic has advised me that my car is starting to have a little bit of engine wear and it might need a rebuild soon

im not sure what to do. if i do decide that it needs to be rebulit or whatever i would like to get heaps more power out of it

if im spending the money might as well go all out.

my problem is i dont know too much about engines ect but im thinking maybe stroke out the little rb20

what would you guys suggest?

im even thinkin drop in a gtr engine or rb25 or rb30 and stroke them out

i really dont know

What do you guys think for price power time ect what are my options?

cheers boyz

$$$ lucky i love my skyline lol

Just drop in an RB25, a lot less hassle then an RB26 and half the cost whilst still giving plenty of power.

Id go for the RB25 plenty of power easy to modify and very reliable. But if you have the money RB26 all the way, a mate of mine has an RB26 transplanted into a R32 gts4, he performed the conversion himself with great success...

i will probably do one or the other might go rb25

what do you think about working the engine

reckon i should stoke one out?

wanna stick a bigger turbo on too rb20 wont spool up a big turbs

what are the rb30's like?

The Rb25DEt and rb26dett is easy to register in the R32.

Simply ensure the motor is stock running on the stock ecu, quiet exhaust with the GTR/R33 GTST front brakes and its all legal.

IF you go RB30 its not legal and very difficult/expensive to make so. However, the rb30's added torque and its ability to spool large gt35r turbo's the same as an rb20det running its stock turbo is aweseome.

The 3ltr doesn't use more fuel than the 2ltr UNLESS your constantly stuck up it. Mine achieves ~10.6-11l/100km's driving it 'normal' with the odd little squirt.

Drive it hard and 13.5-14l/100km's is easily achieved.

ok see thats the stuff i dont know registering the engine ect

my car at the moment is no where near stock but ive got most of the stock parts

id love to run a big turbo like that tho

i suppose i better talk to my mechanic about all the legal issues

Hey mate here is a sensible option worth thinkin about RB25 with GT30R turbo, Power fc, injectors, pump, etc.. About 250-300kw would be alot of fun in a R32..

[Italiazr1]

that sounds sweet if thats easy done i will do that cause ive already got 660cc denso inj

wolf version 5

fuel pump

fmic

ect ect ect

[handyandy]

depends on what you want it for.

i'd go the 25det as WPN-O33 says.

[Italiazr1]

yeah i will probably do that id like to be one of the toughest r32 gts-t going around id be happy with that if it dont cost too much

well ive already got most of those parts so if the rb25 is easy to come by and fit well im all for it

rb20 is probably just not enough

Your injectors in the 20 wont fit a 25 so keep that in mind

Have you thought about building a high comp RB25DE+T at all???

If your power goal is only around the 220-240rkw mark i wouldn't bother doing an engine swap as you can achieve those results with the 20 and not hurt that back pocket as much.

EG: RB20 with cam gears, injectors, Z32, 2530 (or turbo similar) tuned with either PFC or Remap you would be looking at 230ish reliable and the 20 have a better limiter

The engine legality side of things..

Other bits that are not legal and are near impossible to get the car registered with.

Big Turbo, ECU, Injectors, Different Bov, AFM and the list goes on.....

[fEkuaR]

start building a rb25/30 while your engine is still running.

[Italiazr1]

ok i will keep all that in mind

[cln]

if you 25 it keep in mind that the costs can add up
