If the sump is similar to that of an RB26DETT no it won't just bolt straight on as the RB26DETT sump is a bit wider on the drivers side and has a number of 8mm bolts on this side to compensate for the weight of the front diff, it can be made to fit the RB30 block but there is a bit of work in doing this.

if you look at the bottom of an rb20 block in a GTS4, it has 2 complete sets of bolt holes for the 2 different sumps. The 4wd sump bolts up to the outer set of holes using 8mm bolts, whereas the 2wd sump bolts up to the inner set of bolts using 6mm bolts. There are also different oil pickups between the 2wd and 4wd models, although this would be easier to fix if you're going from 2wd (rb30) to 4wd, than it was for me to go the other way (i'm using a GTS4 rb20 in a rwd configuration, and it was a complete pain in the arse, despite the assurances of the import wrecker)

Keep the thread going ppls.

Interesting read Belly_up! :D

So what your saying is you could make an adaptor plate that is similiar to that of say a turbo flange adaptor plate.

You would then have to look at extending the oil pick up slightly to accomodate for the height of the adaptor plate.

It would also make lowering the engine slightly difficult??? Due to the 4wd gear.

This would require one to use a RB26 head or a custom plenum on the rb25 head as to prevent bonnet fouling issues.

I would seriously look at a rb26 head.

Has the injectors to make some decent power, slightly better cams, solid followers(higher .050" lift), and it will work perfectly with the RB20DET's wiring loom and ecu(powerfc) providing you wire in the injector resistor pack from a GTR/300ZX.

Any one have pics of the RB20DET GTS4 or GTR sump and block bolt up pattern?

Cubes: That was my next question. We definatly need some photos of the patterns here. Has anyone seen the RIPS adapter plate? And did he use a custom plenum on the 25 head does anyone know?

Really i would love to start work on an RB30DET but have to clear up the issues with the sump mounting and possible clearance issues the adapter plate could cause with the sump fouling on something.

It's for an R32 GTS4 btw.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
