okay. a gentleman posted this on zilvia.net

heres what he posted.

Hey guys, wondering if any ones has any info on a rb20det engine with a rb26dett head?I know there is ALOT of machine work needed seeing bore is almost 8mm difference.I know that probly no one in the states has ever heard of this due to my 3 hours search on info, so hoping that somoeone here knows a bit about it? maybe some guys in japan? any info would be great...ie...machine work needed?crank? rb26?etc...

My buddy just got it, today, and I am really curious how they got it done?

the intake was modded to high heavens...rb26dett intake mani weld to itb's without itb's! rb20det throlle body welded to intake!coolant system modded to high heavens...pretty cool he included a coolant bleeder into system with a coolant sensor into pipe alos for aftermarket gaugealso has the stock bov moved to infront of mani with a recirc tube, bov is welded to the gredyy intercooler pipe!looks "stock" other than custom welding...if you didn't have a knowledge of engines ie rb's you may think this was a stock engine, very clean engine, no major power mods. very interesting!We have swapped 20' 25's and 26's and this engine makes a sound like no other...I have a "test chassis" I install engines in before cars, was a old front clip I did some modding to, any who we got it going 1 hour after having it in shop and again sounds GREAT, deep, powerfull sounds!!!rb26dett engines sound very smooth and just plain beautiful~rb20det sound real raw and bad ***...this one sounds more raw and x2 BA! lol...

Looks like someone cut and pasted the RB26 intake plenum onto the lower half of the RB20 intake. Then to finish it off they put on RB26 valve and cam gear covers.

Very doubtful there is a RB26 head there.

how are they using an rb20/25 style turbo setup (looks unmodded) with a 26 head?

agree with above poster^. looks like 26 intake manifold hacked and welded on with itbs deleted and 26 valve covers bolted on.

dunno what to tell you about the "sound". placebo? haha

Don't be fooled. All it is, is a GTR custom plenum with rb26 valve covers. Nuff said.

that, my friend, IS A FAKE rb26dett, look at the water outlet port; the rb26dett isn't come out like that. tell your friend someone took the intake and valve cover off an rb26dett and bolted onto the rb20det. HE GOT RIPPED OFF.

PEOPLE PLEASE RESEARCH BEFORE JUMPING INTO BANDWAGONS

Yea I don't even feel bad for your friend. He didn't search and do his homework and bought it without knowing exactly what he got. Plus RB26s never came single turbocharged. Whatever.

hahhaa pwned; atleast he didnt get rip for $4k;

can't blame the seller, he did listed as; Quote »JDM NISSAN RB20DET NISSAN SKYLINE GTS 2.0L TURBO , THE MOTOR YEAR : 89-94 R32 SKYLINE .[/quote] stupid buyer not understanding anything, thinking he's getting an rb26.

Fuk! The seller isn't responsible one bit. He clearly said it was a RB20 and NOT a RB26 2.6 liter. Yes it looks sort of like a 26 but if he read correctly he would know exactly what he got and would stop complaining like a little beetch.

i'm not so sure about that. just look at the motor, it's telling me that it's been beat up. i rather get an rb20 that is untouch.

Yeah im pretty sure an rb26 head has no chance of fitting on an rb20.
