Need Advice: RB20DET Build-up for Drift

[Ran]

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with the RB now but I know it has more potential. I've been asking around sites like RBowners.com and rb20det.com for info but we'll see how it goes. Right now my head is still kinda in the clouds since I just got the car. The body exterior is pretty straight except for the passenger fender and a dent under the driver side fender. Other than that is just needs paint. Badly. Also, the wiring is pretty ghetto but that's gonna get redone this weekend.

Also, the earlier engines that came out in the Laurels were the Redtops and some were even SOHC.

Good. Don't focus on power on an rb20. Here's an example of a laurel that the motor could have came out of. Even blacktops were in some z31s thats still like 86-87.






So that should give you an idea. Your motor potentially 21 years old and need to be healthy. Really straighten out the rigged shit first. Make it run nice.

250 hp should be your goal. Don't listen to s13 kids. lol

Forbidden links removed. Here's what I got from the site.

Engine variations: The rb20det came in two different forms, the earlier red top with the NICS system and the newer silver top version with the ECCS system. The red top is the earlier version of the rb20det and came as standard with the r31 skyline, z32 fairlady and the nissan laurel, whilst the r32 skylines and nissan cefiro came with the silver top version.

RB20DET Redtop
1986-1987: 178bhp (NICS version)
1988-1989: 190bhp (ECCS version)
RB20DET Silvertop
1989 onwards: 214bhp
