Been thinking of a RB20DET for a bit 2. I know of a guy trying to get rid of his cheap with a RB20 box - no im not telling who 😛
But im totally clueless when it comes to these things, wouldnt know what parts to get and where...theres not exactly a massive RB20Det community around to help out
i say go get it...
with your access to resources, it shouldnt be a problem getting it installed into your car!!!
and if you dig deep enough, you should be able to find info. remember its the engine from the R32 gtst skyline. i'm thinking the OZ guys should have lots of stuff for you to read.
from what i've read, the installation is the same as the RB25, which actually isnt that difficult at all!
plenty site about RB20 avail....just GOOGLE it lol
check NOCO FORUM or R31 skyline club in OZ,they have plenty info and even installation guides with pics.
RB20 with box can be picked up for the price of a SR20 alone,i know....as i have priced,and cus they so "unpopular" they come cheap,and guys are missing a golden oppitunity(to make 350 to 450bhp on near std internals) 😉
good luck mate!
I would rather get the RB25 over the CA rebuild
If you can mount the engine and do most of it yourself you will
be under R25k, including your engine
Speak to Rian , the guy selling his Conversion
I was promessed 200kws ATW with a Stock Rb25 on 0.8 bar boost and pump fuel
A very unstressed engine, in my thoughts
Find a good engine and your soughted
I have settled for the RB26 thought, its collecting dust in the garage at the moment
Rezlo also has quite alot of parts for the Rb25 aswell

Strange because wasnt that motor only 206Kw on the fly from factory, in STOCK form??

Wats the stock boost?
0.6Bar I would think.
more boost (i think), stand alone management, fat ass exaust, whats the problem? 200kw sounds possible to me?
and dont go moaning thats not stock, im sure you know what he meant
Yes with all those mods 200RwKw is possible, but thats no stock.
the thing is that you take a stock motor, and you have to add all that other stuff because you have to fabricate it anyway.
so the motor itself is stock, but the intake, exhaust and management isnt, nor is the intercooler stock - these are things that have to bought be over and above the engine.
and with these things bruno has 200rwkw on his "stock" rb25det.
and like RBSX says - the motor is totally unstressed, yet the car easily does 13 second 1/4's in street trim and drifts like a champion!!!
its a good choice.
but dont frown on the RB20 either - thats a very nice engine!

Nope 😉
sorry - i'm just full of my own self today!
Hey thanks guys on understanding what i ment,
I did mean Stock engine,
Im actually chatting with Rezlo to do the conversion for me, waiting for approximate prices
Just i little thought it seems like its abit easier to get performance parts for Rb25/26 at the moment, unless you guys know better
Some of the Pages iv read indicate that the RB20 is almost like a bolt on
conversion,
But take into consideration
that Andre conradie was doing a 10 second run on his Rb25
When you planning on doing the transplant RBSX??
soon if the price is right, im itching
seeing that Rb in the garage
Let us know what he wants to charge.
Also when its done we must have a few runs.
when i was looking for a engine during early last year..the places i scouted gave an average price of +- R7.5k to R8k for engine and gearbox,as they werent selling that well,as compaird to the R12k for engine and gearbox of Rb25
Yes i will
A few Runs......you know me bro once i start i cant stop
Gotta get new brakes before i start running though
Im hoping to run a legal event for time once its done
If it does a 13 sec ill be happy, with all the cost incured
