The rb20 and rb25

Hello,

I found some info from testing done on the r32 gtst and the r33 gtst.

Its often said seemingly on websites that the rb20 is a motor lacking torque under 3000 rpm and that the rb25 is better, stock vs stock.

I know that the rb25 is a more powerful motor and has more torque stock vs stock rb20.

But in these test I found, it seems that the rb20 in a r32 gtst stock compared to a rb25 in a stock r33 gtst is not that bad.

You never give up do you?

Those graphs are not "tests" or dyno charts - they are computer models invented by some one.

The harsh facts are that the RB20DET makes 265Nm

The RB25DET makes 294Nm

and the RB25 Neo DET which everyone is telling you to get makes 343Nm which is  significantly more than the RB20

A guy in france put his r32 gtst bone stock on a dyno, here is the sheet :

f**king small turbo an still max torque beyond 5000 rpm.

Stock wise the gap might not be that big but who here is still stock anyway. I have a 20, a mate of mine have a 25 and the 25 is much nicer to drive despite having a taller diff ratio and bigger wheels. So yes the 20 is a bitch down low, at high rpm i prefer the feeling of my shitty 20 (mostly thanks to the 4.36 diff I have) but below 4000 this is a no brainer.

Yoshii you need to realise theyre both internal combustion engines which are dinosaur technology now, same basic design for over 100 years. You need to be progressive and look towards the hybrid technology Porsche, Fiat and Rocklasser are using or possibly something nuclear-fission powered if you're serious about this car of yours being half decent...otherwise i'd have to assume that this thread is just a troll...?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.

      Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.

      About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
