Great info ...  go the sweet taste of Jack

But ... if you had RB20 setup currently, what would be the logical way to go? Which head would you use?

Also, can you use any bits from the current setup?

In R32 GTST's I prefer the R32 RB25DE top end as it doesn't have VVT. The RB20DET stuff (sensors and manifolds) all basically bolt up, so the R32 GTST wiring harness and ECU work perfectly.

Bits from the current set up, I assume you mean RB20DET. Note that the new RB31DET has an RB26 top end. So I used the injectors (S5RX7T), all the sensors, ignitor, coils, alternator, starter, oil cooler, remote oil filter, radiator (PWR), electric fan (Davis Craig), air filter (pipercross POD), heat shield, ambient air feed, Power FC, Commander, gauges (oil pressure & temp plus exhaust gas temp), sump (it already had wings & baffles), intercooler (std R33 GTR), some intercooler pipework, engine mounts, OS Giken twin plate clutch, fan belt, power steering belt, bottom radiator hose (silicone), alternator bracket, power steering pump bracket, throttle cable, fuel pumps, adj fuel pressure regulator (Nismo), adj camshaft pulleys (Jun), plus lots of mounting hardware, nuts, bolts and washers.

We also have a Stagea, and I will use some of the (no longer needed) RB20DET bits on it. Like the RB25DET turbo (GCG ball bearing hi flow), split dump (Performance Metalcraft), old intercooler (Group A Supra), some pipework, boost controller (Autospeed) and exhaust (suitably modified). I try not to waste anything that is good/useable.

Hope that helps, Happy New Year:cheers:

This engine drives very nice on the street.

I still cant get over the fact that the bottom end can handle 475BHP with stock cast pistons.. lol

What about stock bearings? like ACL brand ? can they handle that power too?

SydneyKid: what ignition timing have you seen RB30DET's (with 25 heads) use on full boost ?

The max power out of standard injectors i could have got was 240rwkw but that was standard fuel pump too. upgrade the stock pump to a bigger unit and you might get more with a Adjustable Rising rate regulator - but thats really unsafe way of doing it and its a prick to tune them at times. (can be inconsistant)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
