hi just wanting to know who out there is using a rb20 gearbox behind an rb25

how much power do you have? what kind of clutch do you use and how long has it lasted.

does anyone do track/drift and how did it hold up then?

Im looking at getting around the 220 - 230atkw with the upgrades that im doing and just needed some more info on how the box will hold up.

thanks

Got max of 236rwkw in front of my RB20DET box. I go drifting and 2nd gear syncro is getting worn. I have to change gears slowly now until i change the syncro's.

I figure, I can break three RB20DET boxes before it costs me 1 RB25DET box.

ive had 250-260rwkw from the RB25DET w/RB20DET gearbox for about 1.5-2 years, treated pretty rough, still feels pretty strong.

as stinkypoo says 3 RB20 box's for one 25 box.

the different mounts, speedo drive, tailshafts and possibly installation would probably add up around a grand aswell. so more like 5 RB20 box's in the end.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
