I desperately need some help regarding the differences. I suppose the questions i need answered are:

1) What compression ratio does the RB20DE have...i know the RB20DET is 8.5:1

2) Do they make the extra compression using piston size , combustion chamber volume or a bit of both?

3) What are the casting numbers on each head....going from memory my old head was 74L4, the new head thats now on the car is 72L3 (?) The numbers are different and i cant remember exact designations. Do all RB20DET heads use the same casting number?

Basically new head on car and its meant to be an RB20DET head, but cranking pressure is 225psi and the car pings under load, forget about boost :rofl: Just trying to confirm i have the right head..

hi roy the rb20 de had a conpression of 10.5 to 1 not sure on the actuall design of them but I seem to remeber some one saying the heads were a bit differnet.

but then again I have heard of several rb20 de's being turbo charged with out too many issues

sux about your head I would be looking into it. I still have my old head sitting in the garage even if you jsut wantto take measure ments

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
