Rb20Det Specialists Only Question No Rb25/26 Replies Here Please

[JDM_R32_R35]

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

shoot for the moon & if you miss you'll still hit the stars?

[Ben C34]

sounds good. Would be heaps cheap as you already have the engine

1100hp from an RB20?

good luck with that

[PN-Mad]

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

Ummmmmm...... wheres Roy?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Ummmmmm...... wheres Roy?

The mad scientists is probably ripping apart the block, replacing the piston rings he fried

[WMDC35]

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

[Hanaldo]

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.

Roy's opinion is invalid

He has a 25

[WMDC35]

this 20 build is to go into the r35 you have? might need some new diffs, maybe 10:1?

[GTScotT]

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?

If you are pushing this much power, I'd suggest making sure your panel gaps are exactly factory spec. Talk to this guy, he can help. Can't recommend him enough for gap talk
