kinda farfetched, but oh well

Discuss the RB20, RB25 and RB26 series engines.

okay. somebody out there with enough mulah to afford it, you should totaly do an N/A buildup on an RB. im talkin ITB's, 18:1 comp pistons, bore and stroke it out to like a 2.8 or 2.9L.. that would be 100% kick azz

Yes it would be awsome but not really worth it IMO.

Why... There are so many better motors for high comp and ITB's....

cost/benfit analysis results in fail.too much for too little...a small turbo would give you the response that an all na setup could provide.

I hate to disagree with you all, sure it is a factory turbo motor, but I give prop's to anyone who can make good power out of small n/a motors, look at those K20 civics running 11's, without boost.

but im sure those are stripped cars and you also forget its comparing apples to oranges... i-vtec helps out so much when it comes to increasing the engine's VE...the rb25's VVT just cant compare.

That's true, and a gutted civic weigh's in just slightly over a ton.

Yeah, in a stripped out car that weighs less than 2000lb on drag slicks and a LOT of aftermarket support for their n/a stuff. And a lot more volumetricly (sp?) efficient motor. N/A RB is a waist of time/effort/money. Even the RB30.

There are ways to increase your VE, but not on the fly like vtec, porting, polishing, etc. I realize it's not cost effective at all and im arguing a moot point

Wow, I must have been slow typing that one. I didn't even realize Carl had beat me to the punch, let along you had already replied. It was the wee hours of the morning here in Japan though, and I'm working a Friday night midshift, so I'm using that as an excuse

You can be quiet now while the big boys decide which way to best make fun of you. We might actually forget about you and continue with this asinine concept for a bit. If your lucky.

Zing!

Okay kid, check it out. It was a stupid question not based on anything more than what you've read on the internet about what people think is "jdm tight drift spec" on RB's. It's not only not worth it, it's not practical, and their are other reasons. Nobody has done it for a reason. Spend $10k on a non-turbo RB30 build with a 26 head, high compression, yada yada. You still have a car that will not have the power of a bolt on and tuned stock turbo RB20. You would not get more than a passing "hmm, interesting" from the people that just saw you get beat by a stock turbo'd RB20, let alone anybody else. Also, 18:1 compression? Did you just pull that number out of thin air? RB's don't have more than a rudimentry variable cam timing system, let alone anything like vtec, their head design isn't as good (for n/a power), and you can't rev RB30's (which would be your best bet for n/a power) very high.

We are giving you s*** for asking a dumb question. Roll with the punches, don't get to butt hurt, and move on. People will remember you on here more for taking a good ribbing well than for asking the stupid question----unless you throw a temper tantram now, you'll be the 14 year old kid with the stupid ideas that can't take a little internet flaming.

You choose.

i didnt say it would be a good idea, nor a cost effective one. i just thought itd be cool. and if i couldnt take all you guys's s**t then i wouldnt still be doing this. okay, how about this, screw the NA and bolt a friggin T51R SPL to it instead? does that work for ya? ..and im sorry for being anoying.

OK, lets bolt one on. It'll make a lot of hp and not spool up real fast. What's your point? "It would be 100% kick azz!!!!!1!1!!1!!!11!!"? You don't even have a point. You are just typing things to see yourself type, and hoping we say "Damn, your right!! Why didn't we think about that?? You are an RB genius!" Now you are being argumentative.

I like to give everybody more than their fair shot, but in this case, I vote and

If you want a NA inline 6 that makes power, you buy the engine from an e46 m3. There are pictures of one in a 240sx on the intertubes.

maybe this will help..

props for knowing what an RB is at 14, but.........

your question has managed to get some of the most knowledgeable people that work on RB's to respond. Read what they are saying, learn some interesting stuff and bite the bullet. (by the way can you even define volumetric efficiency without looking it up?, if you can start there)

Now your 14, one good thing about it is you are interested while you are young, learn from these guys who have decided to even mildly entertain your idea explaining why its not a good one, sure i agree its a cool idea(i would like to hear what it sounds like) but its really not worth it.

Learn from them, search for topics they have posted, read the stickies.. blah, blah. blah.

with your luck when you can finally can drive on your own legally, 350z's will be about $5000 used and you will forget all about this.

have fun!

But 350Zs are ugly and fat and have an interior that is mostly cheap plastic and orange lights. And they have obd2.
