The Cheapest Way To Gain Hp On A Rb20det

[PROJECTRB240SX]

i AM LOOKING FOR THE FASTEST CHEAPEST WAY TO MAKE ABOUT 400-500 HP OUT OF A RB20DET? ANYONE KNOW HOW AND WHERE TO FIND THE PARTS?

[Zydeco]

send me 500 bux and ill tell you.

[op.tic]

500 bucks to tell him to check his other post?

[PROJECTRB240SX]

THAT DOESN'T TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD PUT ON MY CAR TO MAKE THAT HP. PLUS WHERE CAN I FIND AN INTERCOOLER AND PIPING KIT FOR AN S13 FB? AND AN INTAKE MANIFOLD?

[bmarley5780]

cap's sucksyou can find a nice intercooler on ebay=300piping=be creative...where can you find a brain.where can i get a "search" button?i bet if you clicked the mouse button as many times as there are letters in your last post you could be a RB20DET god...

There is no need to be stupid about it. The rb20 is the most unexplored out of the three RB's. Besides when you search you have to read though 20 pages of people saying search

[PROJECTRB240SX]

thanks, well anyway i have tried searching but all i get is specs and rpm limits. no one looks towards the 20 as a performer so it doesn't really have support. i posted this asking for help from people who have explored this engine. sorry for taking up board space in search of help and knowledge.

yeha I have searched until I was blew in the face. The time it takes peopel to tell you to search, they could have typed an answer...LOL If you find ANY info, get at me

[lessthanjakejohn]

What kind of info do you need?

[raging panda]

Upping the stock engine boost is a good way to get more horsepower. You can do this relatively cheap depending on how much boost you increse.

[spec-v5150]

What kind of info do you need?

LOL I dont know...any info is better than none

I should be doing this swap within the next 3 weeks I hope.....

[RubHamuSan]

well lets see....440cc injecters/fuel rail. t3/t4 turbo safc and about 1.5 bar should get you close to 400. also a FMIC and intake plenum. i'm using a remfg'ed t3/t4 garrett and a UH plenum..

.also UH IC piping and a custom FMIC i had made from a large npr cut in half and had new tanks and 3" pipes put on it. i don't have the injecters yet or the safc but i will have that in a few weeks.

and don't forget fuel pump 255lph walbro. or atleat a z32TT one.

i'm only looking for about 300-350hp max.all i really want.

Isn't 3 inch intercooler piping overkill? What manifold are you using? Do they make watercooled T3/T4s w/ an internal wastegate?

I'm poor, so I did a Joe P MBC, SAFC, Spearco FMIC w/ custom piping, Full 3 inch exhaust, walbro fuel pump, RC 550cc injectors, and I'm awaiting my Z31 T3 Turbo.

I'm getting it dyno-tuned at 15psi on the stock turbo probably Saturday. We'll see how that goes.

[bmarley5780]

go to:http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/i ... rums/there is alot more info on these boards.

[RubHamuSan]

3" isn't really overkill....the coupler on the cold side goes from 2 1/2 to 3"....and yes they do make a water cooled t3/t4 it's about 50 bux more...

[teriyakibroccoli]

well you could spray wd-40 into the intake

[RubHamuSan]

or just buy a reducer.

Question is: Do you already OWN a RB20DET? If not I would suggest an RB25DET because the head flows a lot better than the RB20. RB25 and RB26 heads are of the same casting.

If you do own an RB20DET I would look into doing a 2.2L upgrade which can be done with just using bigger pistons w/overbore. You can also do the 2.4L mod by purchasing a 2nd hand RB26 crank on a forum etc. This topic has been discussed many times before on how to do the 2.2L & 2.4L upgrades. There really isn't a fast way to make big HP numbers like that without having the engines bottom end setup correctly.

RubHamuSan pretty much sumed up what you will need for the minor and obviouse upgrades to get to 400+ HP.

Best of luck!

ok 40 to 500 hp from an rb 20 det the cheapest way.1 front mount i/c 24" x!2" X 3" think TO eternal gate turbo builts for 500 550 hp. Iset of rx 7 series 5 injectors 550 cc ,i z32 turbo afm. manderl bend piping from turbo back andfew mufflers as possible adjustagble cam gears. rom edit ecu software andheap and heaps of tuning you will make 4- 500 hp but I dunno how long the motor will last also. the higest octane fuel you can get.meggala

If you want power its never cheapthe candel that burns twice as bright lasts half as long

[nlzmo400r]

my suggestions would be buy a large turbo(really big, t66?), crank the boost up(of course big injectors/rail and such), get about 1oo shot of nitrous and you'll be easily at 5oohp

yeah so it would spool up by next year and when it did .....toast motor.

thats why i say i like the 20...revs hi and i don;t need more than 300-350 max...perfect motor to do it with.
