Um........ my 31 has a forged engine with multilayered head gasket To4e, external gate, Nisstune ecu, 440cc injectors, adjust FPR and a whole bunch ov other crap and was all done a Collier engines in adelaide for 6,000 with records..... so thats y everyone seems to question your 5000 to reco an rb20.

A VRS kit cost about 200 bux from motor traders and even with timing tensioner kit proly 500 for both then a few hundred for metal HG and while u doing the Head gasket u can slap in the seals from the vrs kit would take no more than 10 hours of work if u did it slow as f**k and even if u charged $100 per hour lab job would cost no more than 1500 - 2000 for rb20 so please expalin what the other 3000 was spent on so we can ALL understand.

^^ exactly. paying 5 grand to put a metal head gasket and a recod head on an rb20 is f**kin ridiculous

mate no argument its priced well, but when you state things like its had 5000 bux worth of work done,

it rings alarm bells in most peoples heads and makes us wonder IF it really has had that work done why is it so cheap? and it makes no sense 5000 for a head job and new seals on an RB20??

i have a 6000 dollar engine in my car and there would be no way in hell i would get rid of it at 10% of its value,

so im in the same seat as everyone else what has really happened to this engine for it to hav 5000 spent on it and the only upgrade was a head gasket

oh my gosh some people must have never stopped pushing pencils for a second to see what labour costs.

for example. to replace all the exhaust manifold studs on an rb20 with the motor still in the car your looking at close to $1000.

$$$ really do add up quickly.

for exapmle, i ifitted extractors to a triton the other day, it was meant to be a $400 job, by the time the guy left my shop he was up over $1000, when i undid the manifold, every second stud would the thread out of the alloy. so i had to helicoil all the studs and fit new studs.

it may cost $700 in parts to do the work that was done to the rb20 but labour is the killer~!!!

AND THE REASON THE MOTOR IS BEING SOLD IS BECAUSE IM PUTTING A 1JZ IN MY SKYLINE SO I DONT NEED THE RB20. FAAAAARK

    • Took it to all Japan day. Thrashed it all day and it will still drive home. Very very happy man right now 
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
