Well, with 30k Euro in the block, crank, head alone, you aren't going to get there with the $4000 euros left in your 50kAUD budget. Shit, your not going to even have an engine. Still need rods, pistons, All bolts/fittings valves and valve train gear, dry sump system, manifolds, turbo, gates.

Thats before we get to clutch, GB, shafts, diffs.

Budget well and truly busted.

e30K is $44k aus.

now calculate redability of parts. shipping, price of living you are pushing it to the very least $75k AUD.

labour

tax

aussie car dream boats who over charge on EVERYTHING

now, we are in the $200k AUD mark already.

Lol didn't know AUS was this expensive.

Iet's stop talking about the $$$$$ as I already have the quotes here which are around 50K for everything . No need to jump in and go offtopic for this. Engine rebuild is max. 30K. Been quoted over and over. It's not that expensive. It's not a R35 GTR. We are talking here about a R32 GTS4 with a rb20det.

Don't forget all those fuel pumps!

Hang on. You have already been told what it will cost. So therefore the spec of pretty much everything must be known. So why are you asking questions?

By the way, a 1000HP RB20 is probably doable. It's only the same as a 1300HP RB26.

BUT IT WOULD BE SOOOOOO POINTLESS. There is no point. What could you possibly do with it? A 1000rpm power band at 11k is going to be sooooo much fun to drive.

That same amount of money, spent on good cocaine and hookers would benefit you so much more.

If you already have a quote, what in f**ks name are you hoping for here?

You are not going to achieve 800kw with a 30K euro motor, at least not more than once. Australia is expensive, but it's perhaps 10-20% more expensive, and I bet we do RBs better (and probably cheaper) than anywhere in Europe.

It's not a must to reply.

no comment again on this.

Yeah,

Lots of stress on the body when you're putting out 1000hp....especially in an older & fragile R32 chassis.

Chances are the panel gaps will get warped.

To achieve 1000hp with an RB20, you're going to need to stroke out the block to 2.4L (go with I-BEAM conrods as they can be lighter yet attain the same strength as a heavier H-Beam) and cement fill the block for high boost application,then strap on twin HKS GT3040 turbines, convert to solid lifters, full E85 conversion and fuel system to suit, modify the cylinder head as necessary (including a set of drag spec camshafts) and optimise port design etc etc, and lots of other stuff.

Done.

  • Like 1

BMW got some manky 4 cyl 1.5L iron block to hold 1500hp years ago, reliably too, they got at least one race out of them...

I say go for it. Post results.

wow. . . send me the money(aus dollars not euro monopoly money) and i will get a nice 25/30 engine for you(engine only), whack a rb20 cam cover on it and no one will know

google the britten motorbike, he made all the parts at home, you could make a new head for the 20 which would be awesome, if you stroked it down as zebra says you could copy the design of a hayabusa head

don't worry about the panel warping thing, if that happens just paint it orange and jump in and out of the windows ;) golden

lol at euro being monopoly money.

HAVE YOU SEEN SHITTY AUS DOLLARS?

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
