there are plenty of people who have done rb20/25/26 conversions in 180's/s13's that have sr20's..look to ns.com for the amount of threads on it. As to why a person with an R34 would put in an sr20, maybe for revs or weight distribution aid for track work? Who knows...why do some people put rb20's into calais instead of changing their rb30 head to twin cam..or even just modify the rb30? Because they do, maybe he wanted to be different? Bottom line i've seen more people put rb's into 180's/s13's than sr's into skylines etc. Try modifying an sr and an rb...dollar for dollar I think I know which one would produce the results. Otherwise we'd see many more cars with sr20 conversions (in cars other than nxr's and pulsars) :P

lol..

let me see.. i dnt knw anyone who has replaced ther SRwith and RB.. replaced a CA with an RB yes.. but never an sr.. correct me if im wrong.. but they like to use the CA18 S13 to put rbs in... yes cause the CA tail shaft fits nicely into the RB20 box..

also i believe ther is a green R34 GTT with a SR20 running around brisbane.. care to explain old chap..?

well name a RB powered car that didnt weigh around 1400kgs..

RB are cast iron blocks. heavy...

SR alloy.. booyah..

less weigh to push around.

Luke's green one... He had a built sr20 from his green S13, and thought why not. Last time I spoke with one of his business partners he was under the impression Luke said he should have just stayed with the Neo rb25 and not wasted the time in converting. Then again the built SR was already there..

Alloy isn't good in huge horse power motors... Then again it's not like we're talking 800hp+ here. The SR cam oil squirts are a poor design as well.

I can name a RB powered car that doesn't weigh 1400 kg mine weighs 1290kg with a near empty tank and all fluids according to the weigh bridge :P

alright that's it!

I didn't want to resort to this but it seems as though I'll have to.

Twin RB56 joined at the base subaru style.

It's a RB112 Quad cam, twin crank, opposing 12 cylinder engine. It uses a 13B turbo to crank it over and an SR20 for A/C

I mean, SR is good for something right?

Hey don't dish the two flies and a flea, I have one at home...puts out 300hp so leave it alone, its old and has feelings.

Great thread guys, made my day...

Oh and for the record an RB26 weighs more than a twin turbo LS1, but yet makes less power and torque...go figure...no replacement for displacement...

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
