Yes that helps, thank you. Is the E-Manage fine? I dont know the price for the SAFC but the E-Manage is pretty cheap. Where would I get Auto Shift kits from as well as a high stall converter? Which brand of boost controller would you recommend?

Thanks

A TURBOTECH bleed valve is fine, costs you about $30 or so. Proven to work very well.

SAFC II is made by APEXi and is a fuel only computer, roughly about $250 - $300. This is fuel only and doesn't support after market injectors so dont think it will be ideal for you.

E-MANAGE is a good little unit, again dont know much about it or the price, but do a search and you will find heaps of stuff about it.

REMAP will probably be cheaper, so if you get everything done at once, then just take it in for a tune and leave it.

See how you go though.

Ok Thank you, will start buying parts now. I checked on Just Jap and they have a 570cfm hi flow cat for only 200 dollars. I am going to get that and the front pipe and will do the first mods.

I will let everyone know how it comes out.

Thank you everyone

As a rb20 owner myself, and having worked my way through my fair share of mods i have found that sometimes the simplest things make more improvment than you would think.

From stock I added:

Cheap chinese t04e

highmount manifold

12psi

Cheap FMIC

about $1100 all up

Made 170kw or just under 230hp

From there i added:

BOSCH 040 fuel pump

GTR injectors

Apexi AVCR 14.7psi (1 bar)

Full turbo back exhaust custom front pipe and dump pipe and trust stainless exhaust

Highflow cat

Garrett GT2876R

Low mount manifold

Microtech LT12S

About $5500 all up

I then dynod it at 228kw or 306hp

But now i have taken sort of a weird step some might say and buying a rb24 comprised of a rb20, using rb26 crank and rods

Some of its goodies are:

Garrett GT3076R

Stainless highmount manifold

Custom Dump pipe

Adaptronic ECU

SARD 650cc injectors

JUN 272 cams

HKS cam gears

Forged Eagle H-Beam rods

Custom ROSS pistons

TRUST 1.5mm headgasket

Ported and polished head

Custom made and designed intake plenum

HKS oilcooler

HKS tripple plate clutch

ACL race series bearings

Around the $10,000 mark so far

Looking for 500hp plus on 25psi

So its all about what your goal is and how much money you want to spend. Its best to start with the small things and you will picup and learn what aspects make more difference thanothers and sometimes the really expensive items make less of a difference than the cheaper ones.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
