Hi, Just a question regarding tuning.

RB20DET specialists only no RB25/RB26 replies please

I want to try 800kw on my rb20det I know it sounds stupid but, has anyone tried this before?

I know it needs a lot of mods but, has anyone achieved this before??

Please no reactions similar like these:

RB25 and/or RB26 is better.

Why not swap the RB20DET for a RB25/RB26.

RB25/RB26 is better at this power level

Why not buy a R32 GTR

It would not be economically

Many thanks

Doubt anyone has tried.

No going to be bothered searching if anyone has.

But you'll require 10,000+ rpm

Something upwards of 50psi

And a lot of strengthening, and flowing of all components.

And it would be a complete dog to drive anywhere except down a 1/4 mile

But for those 10 seconds or less....................................................... OP will be freeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ummmmmm...... wheres Roy?

The mad scientists is probably ripping apart the block, replacing the piston rings he fried :action-smiley-069:

ha yeah if roy can't back you up you're boned

you'll need a strong laptop too, one that can handle being slammed shut & told to shut up

Dont forget to weld in the floorpan!

It can be done, it just depends on how much of the RB20 you want use

If want want the use 20 piston rods crank block and head then no your shit outta luck

But if your happy to swap them for say 30 block crank pistons and rods and a 26 head then yeah 1100 hp from a RB20 is easy done

OP, have you considered swapping to an RB25/RB26?

These are better.

Why not swap to an RB25/RB26?

RB25/RB26 would be better at these power levels. I think you should do it. I hope I was able to suggest this to you before you went ahead with the RB20, because RB25/RB26 are better. At these power levels.

Or buy an R32 GTR.

In all seriousness we are talking 1000hp... I believe that to be a power figure that requires an experienced engine builder to produce an engine. That being said I also do not think it matters what modern engine you start with... To get it to 1000hp would probably be a similar amount of work regardless.

Therefore OP should take his RB20 to an experienced engine builder and ask them to produce a 1000hp engine capable of over 10,000rpm. Then OP will simply need the manifolds and a turbo to suit.

$100,000.00 later and it will rip good skids.

This must be with the Motec system and a stand alone fuel management system?

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
