anybody ever heard of these... seriously thinking about doing this

Yeah, I've heard of it which is why I have been recommending it to many of my customers that think the RB20 is a POS engine....there is a lot you can do with it.

Night

 

Yea i plan on doing that in the next couple of years with my RB..Ima research it a lil more b4 i do it of course..

 

yeah, my original plan was to do a rb25 in a s13, dream was a rb26... but they would've been too much work for a group of guys that havent really completed a swap before. And too much money. Then i heard that the rb20 goes in a tad bit easier than a 25 and 26... plus the 20 is cheaper

 

WOW!! always respected the rb20. now, that respect has deepened...

 

People really over estimate the good ol RB20..But it can sure put out a lot!

 

I have a spare block and head lying in my garage. WHen I sell my RB240, this motor is off to the machine shop, so it can fit the 82mm pistons for the RB24. I have a friend who has a friend that goes to Japan quite often, and I'm going to have him try to source me crank and rods from a GTR. Only problem is I'll have to buy another clip from somewhere for the tranny and wiring harness

 

Sounds good nismo..when do u think its ganna happen?

 

Not sure. When I do it, the car will be built then sold right away. I can't afford to drive it, or anything else. I have a large amount of tickets so no one will insure me. But I plan to do it when my car sells. Probably start around 3 weeks or so. Unless I decide to do something totally different. Then the spare motor is for sale.

 

sounds good man, hope it works out. Would love to hear the outcome of it good luck

 

yeah, that's the only think about doing a r20 hybrid... finding the parts... think I might just get a rb20 and buy like a rb26 stroker kit...
