this particular rb20 comes on boost at 5000rpm and makes power untill 6000rpm, not good for drift, the 6000rpm sign off is not head flow related, rather cam related so the 26 cams should help there. an engine that signs off early is not as bad as an engine that comes on late. in drift racing, response is everything. hence the 30 bottom end.

Are you 100% sure its headflow/cam related.

Does it have a really nice equal length manifold?

Run a crap manifold and you WILL see top end power fall over early.

Roy's RB20DET running the TD06-20G is an extremely good example of this, power holds up really really well compared to other 20t's. The only real difference appears to be the exhaust manifold.

pulled everthing apart yesturday, its amazing how small those rb20 valves are. i priced an rb25 engine today but with big injectors i just havn't got the money at the moment. it dosn't look like too much work to get the 20 head to fit so i think i'll just build a strong bottom end and just whack the 20 head on until i can afford the 25 head.

what timing belt and idler pulley should i use, whats the best way to get the block lower in the engine bay? what do i need to do with the oil restrictors?

ok ok ok a mate bolted a rb20det head onto a rb30 bottom end in a r31 skyline.. (old shitter just for a joke)

the head will bolt straight on how ever the compression ratio worked out to be between 11.5:1 and 12:1

not exactly good for turbo application.. sure excellant response

made 12psi by 1800rpm from memory with standard turbo that motor is now dead.. but it was worth it for the time that it lasted and it did a great skid lol

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
