Hi guys not sure if I'm in the rite section but what ist the difference between rb20 and rb25 stock cams and can you put the 25s in a 20 for a slight power increase just wondering cause I have a set of both but car is getting a 20 put in so chasing free power really

Cheers brenno

RB25DET cams are designed with VCT in mind, and wont work with an RB20. RB26 cams have been fitted to RB20's though. Do a search and you'll come back with plenty of info. 2nd hand stock R32/R33 GTR cams are pretty cheap too when you can find them.

Pretty well every report I've seen of RB26 cams in RB20 they didn't actually run too well, if at all. I thought about it, but it's a fair bit of effort to run like a bag of shit.

The profiles of the lobes are completely different due to the fact that RB26 is solid lifter and RB20 is hydraulic, the ramp rates for the opening/closing of the valves is vastly different.

Don't bother camming an RB20 unless your making BIG power (300 rwkw+). Also if you are going to cam, go custom, don't bother with PON Cams - they're poorly made and I've heard loads of troublesome tales about camming the rb20 with Tomei Pon Cams.

If you want good power gains on your RB20 slap on a Z32 AFM, FMIC, Bigger turbo, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, full exhaust, plazmaman plenum and a 6boost turbo manifold. I'm waiting on the plenum and turbo manifold to go in and I should see 280rwkw :thumbsup:

No the manifolds are identical cheers for the help guys give me something to think about was more for the fact that I have s rb25 sitting there in parts was just chasing free power and I little extra torque as the rb20 is going in a vl cheers brenno

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
