RB20 Quarter Mile Times.

[JDMEnthused]

has anyone ran their RB20 powered car at the 1/4? If so, could i get some time slips or some claimed times?

[themadscientist]

judging by my 150 meter times I would guess high 13s.

[Yellow4g63]

Stock intercooler, stock turbo 3" downpipe, BFG street slicks, PFC untuned and a boost spike that put me to 10psi. 13.7@99 mph This was in a S13 btw and there is a video of it on this forum I think. search my name it might come up.

[JDMEnthused]

hmm thanks for the input guys. im about to buy a RB20 Motorset from JGY Customs in VA and i was just wondering what kind of performance i would be looking at from the box.

Anyone else?

i am NOT a fan of bench racing

so please, only post if you have a real timeslip. no estimated bull****.

thanks guys, just trying to keep info accurate.

[JDMEnthused]

very true, Kamin.. thanks for that info.

timeslips only from now on, please!

[Yellow4g63]

LoL I'm not benchracing. I can't find the timeslip but who needs it when you have a video. http://www.3rdgearvtec.net/And...k.wmv BAM!

[JDMEnthused]

i saw this same video on drag240.. i dont have a username on there but.. nice run.

videos>timeslips.

[themadscientist]

wish I had a real race track on this pissant island so I could get a timeslip. Okinawa is the armpit of Japan

[JDMEnthused]

i will end up going to the rock aka rockingham nc.

[JDMEnthused]

My bro ran a 12.8 @ 106 on some slicks (1.7 60') w/ a clutch type lsd, GT2510 at ~14 lbs (EBC), and GTR fuel pump, and one of those SLIGHTLY tuned blitz ECU's everything else is stock AFAIK.

[JDMEnthused]

not too shabby..

how heavy is an s13 ... ?? im running my rb20det in my skyline at 14 lbs now with just an exhaust and dp and pod filter .. no way in hell comming close to a 12 : ) ..

and that 12 second slip is no way in hell related to a nearly stock RB20 haha. just because you guys are running the same boost dosent mean they are close to the same times. he has a better turbo, better tune and slicks. the slicks alone are worth half a second minimum.

s13's are 2500-2700lb range.

[Yellow4g63]

I think I could have cracked a 12 second time slip with the mods I had before I took the motor out of the S13. I hate not having a 1/4 mile track thats open every weekend. Once a month and 2 to 3 chances suck.

13.1 at 110mph at gainesville raceways this past friday. bad 60' way too big of a turbo and the lag is kiling me on the launch.. regular street tires with like 29psi on them. I'll post all the time slips shortly.

[Yellow4g63]

WTF no video? lets see some videos, I don't want to feel like the only freak here. crazy top end you got there lyon23. Have you thought about putting a MSD DIS4 on there for the launch control?

[lyon23]

no video for this one.. I have some from about a month ago best was a 13.7 missing 2 gear... I was looking at all the msd setup trying to find a way to install a 2 step..I thought about the ultimate emanage..but i will take a closer look at the msd

Whats your setup right now? I can't rem what you had on your 20. I'm checking out how to get it to work on the skylines, Someone on the downunder boards told me you need a tach adapter on them because the Nissan uses a ground for the trigger and the MSD use postive power.

my RB might be here at the end of December. i just need to find a good machine shop to do a few things to the block for some toys :-p

Then I hope you either A) have an aftermarket turbo and neglected to mention it or B) live somewhere where it's really, really, really cold, because otherwise, you're just begging to blow something up running at 14 psi.

And if people could specify whether they have an RB20/25(or even 26?), that would make things more clear, as well.

[Yellow4g63]

The Thread says RB20 1/4 mile times. So one would hope that if your posting your 1/4 mile time it would mean you have a RB20.

what are you having done to the block, the standard rb20 is a very durable engine........ please dont say 2.4, you have no idea..........

Where did my cylinder wall go?

If you'r thinking about boreing, I think TOMEI makes a kit for 2.2, the biggest I've seen anyone run safely.

Back on topic, 12's with minimal engine work! Nice to see. Biggest advantages I noticed were slicks and clutch-type LSD. How's the spool on that HKS turbo?

[Charlie240sxt]

a good friend of mine from this bored his car has been sold off and is now hella fast but right after we swaped it he ran a 13.8 with a stock swap side mount IC and all

max you can bore the motor safely is 82mm, which with the stock rods and crank yeilds a 2.2, however a 2.4 is a stroker motor and requires mods to the block and a rb26 crank and rods.

12's are not too far out of a rb20's reach, even a rb25 turbo will put an s chassis with a rb20 into the 12's.main thing to keep in mind that most ppl with swaped cars dont have an lsd and that makes all the diffrence.

[JDMEnthused]

i heard about your accident Carl..

i will be boring the cylinders out to 82mm and finding some sort of aftermarket forged 82mm pistons with beefier rods and installing them.

A 2.4 is achievable though. just gotta have a machine shop, so ive been told. id love to hear some more insight into the whole RB2.4 idea though.

[lyon23]

here are the time slips from last friday at the track... the 15 pass was a hose that came off the turbo..I'm #368
