Am currently been looking for an rb20det to slap into my gtst as the old on blew.

Have found one local but the guy selling it told me he has many rb20's including a couple de's that he converted to turbos which kinda got me worried.

am going to chek the motor out later was wondering if there are any diffrences with regard to codes on the head and block.I was told the turbo head had a 73L on it ?????

can anyone confirm this or give me any other details beside this would be sweeeet

Cheers

i think he means the block rather than a complete motor.

I dont actually know the difference Im sorry so I cant answer your question, just chimed in to make sure ppl get ur point.

I would take a stab and say that the DE wont have all the correct oil and water feeds BUT I have known certain types of motor to have the oil and water feeds available on both DE and DET, yet the sump return to usually be blocked or missing... could someone confirm?

Yea that exactly what i mean,seems there are alot of people these days converting thier de's to +t's and i dont wanna be one to buy a non turbo motor for the price of a turbo motor ya know.

heres a pic of the motor for reference if any one can spot anything.

BTW take no note of the loom as it has been modified to suit a cefiro

any help would be much appreciated

Have a look on the exhaust manifold to see if all the nuts are rusted into place haha If they are its probably a det :) Just on a side note. Remove that pink shit before you start. Im laughing just thinking about it getting sucked into the engine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
