Does anyone actually have a running RB20?

[Wuss]

Seem's like theres a lot of talk of the RB25, but does anyone here actually own a 240 with a fully operational RB20DET in it?

Just curious as to the characteristics of the motor besides what's on paper.

Also wondering what kind of power the RB20DET is capable of with not-to-crazy modifications ( i.e. turbo back exhaust, bigger turbo,fmic, boost and fuel control )

yes I have spoken with 2 Rb20 owners just this weekend about the oil pan/sway bar issue and the hood issue

and whats the verdict on that?

[spec-v5150]

modify the hood

oilpan.....mcadam tossed the idea of usinf pipe insulator. We are going to try that for a quick fix. Eventually I will get custom mounts. I hear mounts from a nissan truck work good. Which truck, I have no clue

rb20's are very common now. they have been swapped for about 2 years now. that's like saying anyone actually got a ca running.

I've got one and I know of at least 3 people w/ them. I know there are like at least 25 or so in the US. Mine just sits on the sway bar and the hood just rests on the BOV until I can figure something out. I would recommend paying the extra $1500 and go w/ the RB25. I'm probably going to sell mine and start over w/ an RB25 or maybe even a 26 ( if this new job works out;) )

I am noob to the whole suspension thing....what would be the adverse affects of removing it...the sway abr that is

[RubHamuSan]

alot of sway up front.

[spec-v5150]

well that doesnt sound good. Most people have just been leaving it as is. My luck, my **** is the **** that will get busted all up.

BUY A WHITELINE ADJUSTABLE STYLE AND YOU CAN MOVE THE BAR CLOSER OR FURTHER FROM THE OIL PAN.

spec-V will have one about a week after it gets here, optimistically.

apex-7>>> if you sell yours, how much would you want for it and where are you located? I may end up getting one for myself if spec-v's turns out nice. I've got a 90 hatch that needs a six banger. RB20 or VG30, decisions decisions...
