Someone somewhere must know the exact differences with late RB20's . Variable cam timing and a shim type valve train would be worth having .

I'd also be looking at chamber shape and size because they changed on the Neo 25 - possibly be cause of emissions and detonation reasons .

How do the CR and power output compare R32 to R34 RB20s ?

Is there an engine manual available that covers all the R34 era RBs ?

A .

Mine does - it lists an RB20DE but there is no RB20DET.

A quick skim suggests the engines are very similar. The 25DE has the most compression - the 20DE has less and the RB25DET has the least.

My Stagea is quite heavy but so are most Skylines - I don't know why you'd bother with a 2Litre motor.

Has a better head that flows almost what the 25 neo head does, solid lifters, VCT, basically it will be a shitload better than an oldschool rb20, it probably also has the compression increase that came with the rb25 so it should make a big difference, still why not just go 25 neo, win win!

the rb20de neo costs around $1000 less then a rb25det neo.

plus the 9.5 1 compression ratio makes it a good choice for a affordable high comp street rb20 if you don't want to rebuild or go bigger to 25/26/30.

Still can't see why anyone would go to the trouble of doing anything to an engine, even just swapping in one, and not upsize to a 25. It just doesn't make sense. The off boost torque of a 25 makes me wonder why I put up with a 20 in my 32 for so many years when I could have gone 25 at almost any time.

some ppl might like the smaller motor for theslightly better fuel economy over the 25,with PULP being around $1.60 (most of the time) here in WA that might not be a bad thing

But you see, they'd be wrong. I get much better economy with 25DET Neo transplanted into R32. The complete lack of off boost torque in a 20 is the killer, You end up wringing its neck all the time to try to make the car move with the traffic. 25Neo just wafts along on tiny throttle openings. It only uses lots of juice when you get right up it, which is perfectly acceptable.

Just like women that its the beautiful thing about cars. There is enough variety around the keep everyone happy. I love my lil R32 GTSt complete with its RB20. I am hunting around for an R31 coupe and there is no way anything but a 9,000rpm RB24 is going to go into it.

WIht no cams, pistons, or rods the lil RB20 can punch out 8,500rpm and 310rwkws with a nice shape to the curve.

And for no other reason I was walking up to my car sitting in a back street after work on Friday, sun shining on its paint and I started giggling. After 13 years of owning my car I still smile when I drive it. I just love it....and cant wait to get back to PI and do this again

Its even more fun these days on E85 with another 35-40rwkws more then in that video

Fuel economy between a 2.0 and a 2.5 RB? Really? Buy a Fkn push bike.

I have to admit I went 20 before 25, only went 25 because the 20's electrics failed. I think theirs pros and cons with either of them. Power, 25. Torque 25, reliability 25. but as a 31 owner I do believe theirs a nostalgic f**k the cool kids about having a built 20 in one as it's what they were. And I think a Neo 20 would be awesome in a 31 but it's only a 1200ish kg car and they do alright with the old 20's in them anyhow. To me nothing beats the sound of a 20 with a gate on song but that might just be me...

iwas going to put in a neo 20 in my laurel but the intake butterflies put the brakes on it... hell upset. was hoping to have a killer responsive unopened 300rwkw and 8k rev ceiling... have bought a rb25de neo instead... same aim 300rwkw unopened which is a walk in the park... only needs a det neo exhaust cam and we will be cooking. If only i had a 20 neo handy to play with.

hoping to find a 20 neo anyway so if anyone has some leads locally let me know.

Just like a women you irrationally love your rb20 as well!

is there any chance a 20det plenum/runners/manifold will bolt up to the neo, or have you yet to find that out?

I'm guessing but the r33 25det intake and runners bolt up to the neo 25det, so the rb20 might be the same.

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
