No, Not true, Lt12s is newer than the Ltx12, only real difference is the lt12 doesnt have inbuilt ignitors where the ltx does, just means you will need to use the standard rb20 ignitor or an x6 box.

What have you modded to fit the cams? BTW they arent drop in.

i bought a worked engine and i have an a4 page of stuff done to it, not to keen on posting as i dont want to type it out, is there anything in particular that you want to know???.

i have spoken to the tuner again and he said an lt12s with x6 box is fine but i should buy coils as the stardard coils are not the best way of going about it, im not sure about that there seems to be a lot of people running standard coils

You need a new tuner.

yeah tell me about it i think he just wants me to give him more money, so what do you reckon use lt12s and x6 box to run my rb20 with rb26 cams, and not worry about the standard coils as they will be fine. or should i go in another direction???

Just use the standard ignitor, I am on an rb25 and its fine.

i see you are on the coast, go see Matty Spry at PITS or Gavin wood

cool, i can get an lt12s for cheap as with a plug n play loom, if i can use the standard igniter and coils this will be great, i am on the coast and can i grab this guys number. so the fact that i have different cams (rb26 ones) in my rb20 doesn't mean i have to get the crazy ignition set up. Cheers, Jonno.

Are you running solid lfters, because gtr cams dont work with rb20 hydraulic lifters.

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
