Rb20E To Rb20De

[LaneM95]

I own a r33 with an b20e in it, its just crashed and wont run now, I found an rb20det to put in but I have been told that I need to figure out if the distriuter will run on an rb30det head? I have also been told the rb20e olnly has 1 coil for the ignition I think an that I need to change it to a 2 coil. I was just wondering if this was the case an if there was an easier way or anything else I need to change for me to be able to run the rb20det. I know people will say its a waste of time but I honestly don't have the money to uprgrade to an rb25det but I will still have to go through all this crap again, just chasing anything that will help me, thanks

20e's run a dizzy and leads and the twin cams run a coil on plug arrangement with an ignitor pack. Your best option for complete plug and play is to get a 20det setup that includes looms etc and then swapping absolutely everything over. Engine loom is pretty simple to pull out and replace and will save a lot of headaches.

Not sure if you are planning to get a power upgrade or just something to run with. Not sure if your car is an auto or manual.

RB25DE NEO (non-turbo) with looms/computer and trans can be had for around 1K - if you look around, swap out the old engine.

*or*

Get an RB25DET etc. and not worry about doing another engine transplant in the future.
