My rb20 swap
My rb20 swap
Hey guys, I'm new around here. I seen this section so I figured I would show you my rb20 setup I run in my s13. As of right now it's fairly stock with a few mods.
The old setup- z31 t3, Q45 maf, SAFC2 Nothing but problems!

The current setup- wiring specialties tuned ecu, stock intake manifold(tweaked), z32 maf, 60 series t3/t4, custom external wastegate exhaust manifold, turbonetics 38mm wastegate, 450cc injectors, greddy timing belt, custom fabbed downpipe setup, blitz nur-spec catback exhaust, blitz SUS filter, blitz dual drive bov, walbro 255 fuel pump, greddy profec type s boost controller, aluminum intercooler piping, hybrid drift spec front mount intercooler, Top Hat Performance engine mounts, cusco catch can, blitz fatt controller, comp clutch stage 3 carbon/kevlar, comp clutch biller flywheel, koyo radiator, greddy radiator cap, nismo thermostat...soon to be added MLS head gasket and arp studs, solid lifter conversion, supertech valvetrain, and a set of Kelford 272 degree bumpsticks, 5 angle valve job, and full match port and polish.

I'll get some better picks up here in the next day or two.

The headlights and front bumper are from a Q's model silvia. I've been building this car for a long time. I had a s13 sr20det in the bay before before I did this rb swap. I liked the sr swap, but NO four cylinder sounds this good!
I bought a longblock from venus-auto and pieced the rest of the swap together. I performed the swap myself. A front clip has everything you need, but I strongly recommend buying/making a proper mount kit.
The piping is all aluminum, the pipe you're referring to is replaced. I just recently moved to knoxville, unfortunately there is only 1 dyno here in town. I haven't had time to dyno tune it with my new tuned ecu. At 18 pounds on a safe street tuned A/F ratio, I'd say it puts down at least 325-350 rwhp.
I have none, just open tube... im not welding up my exhaust until i get the H1C on, full 3in from V-band on back
little sound byte...................... ok ok ok maybe its not that close to it but i remember doing a rb20 swap and it sounded like this a bit with open dump tube
Note: sync is way off
