Hey Pete, ever thought of going standard pump as a pick up and a bosch 044 as a external pump with a surge tank?

Im thinking of doing something like this with my build. Should be more then enough fuel i should hope.

yeah but there you've got the inevitability of E85 and needing bigger injectors again like Joel said saturday might as well bite the bullet and get 1000's

yeah spoke to hime briefly on Sat about that.

He mentioned something about 800cc with twin sprays (not avail in 1000cc).

Don't think 400kw + E85 = 800cc unfortunately though

yeah I reckon you're right Luke.......to play it safe anyway

External Bosch is approx $250........have you checked out any decent surge tanks.........haven't really had the need to look into them until now.

ive never seen an rb20 set up like this :laugh:

rb20det Engine variations:

The rb20det came in two different forms, the earlier red top with the NICS system and the newer silver top version with the ECCS system. The red top is the earlier version of the rb20det and came as standard with the r31 skyline, z32 fairlady and the nissan laurel, whilst the r32 skylines and nissan cefiro came with the silver top version.

Just to confuse you more there were a few red top rb20dets with the eccs system, heres some engine power outputs.

RB20DET red top

1986-1987: 178bhp (NICS version)

1988-1989: 190bhp (ECCS version)

RB20DET silver top

1989 onwards: 215bhp

never seen that setup on a 20 too..would give better response as the piping is significantly shorter however i reckon that cooler would be getting major heat soak as my 20 generates quite a bit of heat ontop of the cam/rocker cover

Z31 200ZR (basically the old school fairlady with povvo NICS Redtop RB20DET with top mount cooler)

Id rather poke myself in the eye with a rusty needle before driving another NICS RB20DET

as a mate of mine has in his msn name: NICS is japanese for FAIL

Im thinking maybe get AM performance to make one up. If your keen to get one, we might be able to get two cheaper.

I'll have a look on some Jap sites to see if anyone makes them over there.

hey luke how much do hks 700cc (740cc??) usually go for????

just curious on the retail price compared to the price they gave me on them....

Craig, i had a Redtop NICS in my 31 a few years back

nothing but issues, and a poor breather of an engine (the fingers of the inlet runners are about half the size of a silvertop 20det runner...........not cool). i think i made a massive 76rwkw with a RB25 turbo strapped to it that was making 5psi LOL

oh yeah, and once i popped it and stripped it for parts to sell, this is all i had left

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
