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...

      HKS stroker kit step 0/1 or HKS GTIII 2530

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      Definitely the stroker kit. once you mention you have a RB28 everyone will assume you will flog them and hopefully won't start asking about support mods. Anyone will be too scared to race you, except maybe the RB30 boys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Just a quick update: I decided to go ahead with the de-cat for now. The exhaust shop inspected the catalytic converter and said it was in good condition. I took a look myself, and it does not appear broken nor clogged. After the de-cat, the car feels more responsive and smoother. The shop also reinstalled the exhaust temperature sensor into the de-cat pipe, and now the warning light no longer comes on, even when driving hard. The only thing that’s bugging me is the tinny, “can-like” sound the exhaust makes now (similar to having a hole in the muffler). The shop suggested that I might need to replace the muffler. I'll have to think on what to do next.

      I want to start upgrading but don't have the budget to drop 15k at once, if i was to do one first which would be better and why?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yuh. It is very rare for a single turbo to throw ceramic into the engine. Quite common on GTRs. As I posted above. Mine did destroy the O2 sensor on the way out though! Plastic compressor is fine with the temperature. It's not some flimsy PE/PET/PP thermoplastic. It's a thermoset resin with reinforcing material in it (a composite, as posted by @Lithium above). The compressor never sees much more than 100°C because it's never boosting very high. If you boost it high enough to make a lot of temperature, then the turbine will depart the scene and stop the party anyway.

      From what I understand, it's a ceramic turbine and a plastic compressor (not sure how it doesn't melt then lol) I heard the series 2 r34 gtt has a metal turbine but I doubt that. @GTSBoy When you blew your standard neo turbo it didn't cause damage from memory just the turbine ended up in the cat?
