Nissan Rb Engine On Wikipedia

[045HOW]

Nissan RB Engine

i live my current internet life through my phone, so editing wikipedia is really not something i want to be doing at the moment lol (am on pc right now but not for long).

also sure there will be other users that know more than me so i leave it open for someone else to edit the wiki

but yeah this wiki needs some serious edits and additions

things that come to mind:

"produced from 1980-2004." ---produced from 1980? wouldnt produced pertain to production for the market? meaning the first RBs were in R31s which were produced mid 80s and not 1980.

"RB20P - single-cam (94 PS @5600 rpm and 142 N·m @2400 rpm)" ---D,E,S,T,TT are explained but P is not in the list (but is mentioned at the bottom of the RB20 section).

"The RB20E was also fitted to some Holden Commodores (the VL Commodore) sold in New Zealand and Australia"--- RB20E released in AUS?

"The RB20DET-R was used in the Nissan Skyline 2000GTS-R (HR31). It is limited to 800 units." should probably be a bit more info like improvements and such.

Photos- instead of RB20DET into 240sx pic, it should be of a standard RB20DET with silver rocker covers and stock IC piping actually in the vehicle it originally came in.

RB24 section should mention RB24 hybrid.

RB25 section should mention the differences with late model series 2 engines like CAS and such.

RB26DETT section should include the Autech Skyline26s RB26DE(if recognised as a nissan engine. i reckon it should be added anyway)

"Nissan Skyline GT-R BCNR33 AUTECH Var."---should be edited to say BCNR33 Autech 40th Anniversary 4 door GT-R.

also wasnt the development of the original RB26 a joint venture between nissan and reinik?

RB26DETT Z2---wasnt there also a Z1 in the prototype or is it not important enough for this wiki?

"Four models of 3.0 L RB30 were produced from 1987 - 1991:"---more like 1985-1990??

"RB30E - fuel-injected single-cam (114 kW @ 5200 rpm, 247 N·m (25.2 kgf·m) @ 3600 rpm)"---no mention of use in VL commodore

then

"RB30ET VL Commodore - fuel-injected single-cam turbo (150 kW @ 5600 rpm, 296 N·m @ 3200 rpm)"---RB30ET mentioned to be in the VL commodore leading people to believe that all VLs have turbo 30s when in actual fact they were only installed in some Calais. right??

"The turbocharged RB30ET (producing 150 kW) was found only in the VL Commodore (available in all models)"---once again stating that Commodores are all turbocharged.

RB30DE section should have a write up about people making these hybrids.

RB30DET section should include RIPS achievements with RB30DETS (used to be in here but has been removed. maybe no longer allowed or something)

should also maybe go into some further detail for block preparation and any other such useful information.

should be an RB30 stroker section talking about Nitto 3.2L,RIPS 3.3L and Spool 3.4L stroker kits

should also be mention of available stroker kits for RB26 (2.7,2.8,2.9,3.0,3.1). not too sure if this is totally relevant to the wiki because these kits are aftermarket and not a released product from nissan but neither was the RB30DET so yeah hmm

anyone got anything else to add or correct?

someone should be keen to update the wiki

cheers!

The RB30DET was available in non-Calais commodores. My mate had a turbo wagon.

But another flaw is that Holden didnt just buy they rights for the RB30, the actually imported the entire engine. When the exchange rate dropped they became too expensive, which is at least one reason why the VN didnt have the RB30. The 3.8 was rough as guts compared to the smooth 30.

conjured up a D i see ^^

ok fair enough but were they available throughout all models as stated on the wiki?

[mad082]

pretty sure the turbo option was available on most models of the range. only one it may not have been was the base model executive, but i could be wrong.

Doh! the D is just force of habit... I don't know if it was all models or not.

[Captain Kermit]

RB30ET was an option on any spec VL, even the base model SL. Can't help you out with the rest though.
