A Boy's Love For His Rb20

[Roy]

Yeh, I dont think you can blame the engine, have a look at approx. where I am running on the compressor map!

[fatz]

Roy fill it with fuel and thrash the taco out of it

f**k changing turbos and shit for a poofteenth more power

[XRATED]

I want to see some billet goodness!!!!!!!! and a back to back run

... I have a vested interest now.

[Roy]

...in the name of science Pete!

[sav man]

stop fiddeling with it now, time to flog the guts out of it

[nisskid]

oh shit, now we're talking. could the plenum be making much of a difference? i hope to hell not as i don't see one of those sitting inside my budget any time soon.

[Roy]

Perhaps, but i still wish i had the std plenum as i think that gives better overall result

[TTT]

I have a spare stock one if you need Roy (well the top half - I was going to polish it)

[Roy]

LOL, I have 2. I had a spare one which I was going to put twin throttle bodies on for giggles. I am going out to the storage place on the weekend and will pack up all the spare cooler piping I have as I have left over HKS piping etc as well. Will throw it all in a box early next week. Sorry it has been so long in the making but I had been seriously considering putting the std gear all back on...bt just going to charge forward with "Kinda Surprise"

[TTT]

when ever you have time mate.

I just thought when you said "but i still wish i had the std plenum" you meant you had got rid of it or something.

[Roy]

Yeh, the folding stuff I am speaking to Plazmaman at the moment. Could be something in my installation, I have a rather high idle speed at present so perhaps needs to remove it and give everything a machine and some new gaskets as I could have a leak in there somewhere. Who knows

[sav man]

3bond! it's the gasket of champions!

[Russman]

3bond! it's the gasket of champions!

True story!

Can we get an update? This build is what inspired me to swap an RB20DET into my 83 280zx.

[Roy]

Update: ummm, not much really happening. I put a new battery in it...I have a new low temp Nismo thermostat, new silicon radiator hoses, electric thermo fans, and wiring my data logger back in over the next few weeks...but before I start any of this I need to finish things on my Cossie inc rubbing back the engine bay for a respray. Then with the Cossie running the R32 will be going up on ramps and will be installing new chrome moly rails for seats, and installing some custom undertray and shrouds on the front...but this is all things that are sitting around waiting to happen.

Part of the reason I have not run around and done more thrashing in it is I think the little 5 puck Extreme clutch that is 60,000kms old is struggling with the 300rwkws

[tweety bird]

What about this rumour about no more 20g on the rb20?

[Roy]

It still has a 20G on it at the moment but have a billet TD06L2 to try when I can get around to installing it and the tuner is a little bit quieter. Racepace are pretty busy with preparing some World Time Attack entered cars so don't want to bother him with tuning my thing until he has had a breather

[sav man]

has it seen the track with it's 300kw?

[Roy]

Nope...I only have my 18s with a set of 10yr old Pirellis that have bulges in the sidewall My 17s are bald and wont pass scrutineering and can't bring myself to spend 2k on tyres...so no track work for me until I have had a holiday

[SimonR32]

Get some AD08's. I got a set of 17's (235/255) for about $1100 delivered. PM me if you want to know where from
