This summed up my high school and early 20s (early 2000s). My first swap was a red top RB20 into a s13 coupe. My second swap was a silver top RB20 into a s13 hatch. My third swap was an SR20 blacktop into an S14. But, I took out the SR20 and swapped in a RB25 Neo into the S14. I loved the straight 6 turbo scream. RB engines always sounded better to me than 2JZ. This was before KZbin, so only a select crowd knew about S-chassis and Skylines or anything Japanese other than Hondas. So, the builds were dirt cheap compared to now. Good old days.

[@spankthemonkey3437]

I'm thinking of swapping a rotary into my Civic they make an adapter to hook up a Mazda rotary to a front wheel drive Civic transmission 😃

Take the cat off your turbo car, thats all i gotta say, i could go on forever but in short emission regulations have 100% impacted performance on vehicles, cats are just one of the things that will restrict power

[@canoaslan1011]

For you to mention Holdens best engine the RB30 LOL being in a Holden, shows how much effort and research you put into these videos. not many non Aussies will know that. This combination of car and engine, injvented the term dosing, to dose LOL. if you dont know what that means KZbin "VL dosing" Is it just me or does the RB20 doesnt make sense, I think Nissan realized this, and made the SR20.

[@ShiningJudgment666]

It happened because Holden didn't have a 6 cylinder engine that could run on unleaded ready to use. It's also why the V8 VL didn't come until a bit later. Also, the RB20 and SR20 are quite different. One's a lower displacement inline 6 and the other's an inline 4. The RB20 was likely just made redundant with the SR20 and RB25 rather than some sense thing.

[@SlideHulud]

The mixture of the ambient music and engine/turbo noises are so damn good. The audio quality of these videos bring a tear to my eyes. Beautiful work man, not to mention the awesome visuals. 👍

[@jdmmike7225]

Since August I have been lucky enough to be the owner of an RB powered vehicle. While it's an RB25DET & not a RB26DETT it's still very fun. I was able to pick up a 1996 Stagea RS-Four V. Was quite a bit but it's paperwork was already translated & it had a US title so it was definitely worth it. I've only had it out a few times because I currently have too many projects at home but it never fails to turn heads.

[@existenz1974]

You're correct. RB25DET's are fun. My first Skyline was a 1996 R33 GTS-T. Over the years I did a few modifications, including a Race pace Motorsport built engine, upgraded Garrett turbo, Manifold, Wastegate (+screamer pipe), engine management system (Apexi Power FC), fuel system/injectors, coilpack, exhaust system, intercooler & piping, brakes, wheels/Tyres etc... I ended up with 310 rwkw and definitely was worth the money. I later bought a Midnight Purple 1997 Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec and also got it built/modified by RacePace Motorsport to suit the track and the road. This one had 400rwkw and was very responsive and fun to drive at the track as GTR's (RB26DETT) are AWD, not RWD like the RB25DET's.

[@jdmmike7225]

@@existenz1974 The last two weeks I've been driving it everyday to work & back home & out n about & I'm really getting used to the RHD. I'm lucky enough to have gotten a RS-Four V Stagea which has a R33's ATTESSA-ETS AWD system but only the RB25DET. The 26 was reserved for the Autech 260RS Stagea. It's stock other than some select HKS components installed before it was shipped including coilovers, intake & exhaust, SSQ2 BOV, boost controller & turbo timer, simple bolt ons. But even still it is super fun to drive something so big yet so responsive. Ive built quite a few rotary powered MX-5's, a few rotary powered kit cars, a few AE86's and a Datsun 510 so I'm used to small, light, shorter wheelbase cars. Probably why I find this car to be so enjoyable.

Another excellent HIGHlY DETAILED engine series breakdown. All I can say is please give us more.

[@GRANTWHK]

Such an awesome presentation! However I noticed no mention of the Nissan Stagea, a station wagon/estate that was available with either a rwd NEO RB25det or a 4wd RB26dett. There is also an R31 Skyline named the Passage GT which had either a non turbo RB30e or the turbo RB30et. I am not sure if the Passage was an Australasian exclusive model or not but I live in New Zealand and that was how the R31's arrived here. Autech also produced a 1 off S15 convertible named the Varietta which had a non turbo RB26de that was super rare. 1 last thing I thought would have been worth a mention is just how bulletproof the RB rwd gearboxes are. Because of this video alone, you just gained another subscriber so keep up the great content.

As some one who not only owned a 32 GTR and tuned a few others, these motors where built to move, sounded amazing. Miss my car so much. The power you feel when the boost hits and your pushed in the seat, un matched. Watching the tach needle snap up into redline almost faster then you can shift into the next gear. Tuned a 33, it scared me to the point when I finished with it I didn’t want to drive it. It would light up all 4 at 70 mph without batting an eye

Australia manufacured the R31 4 door Nissan Skyline with RB30E engine in Clayton Victoria 👍

[@XPbIM3]

slight corrective: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="112">1:52</a> - this picture is about NA RB20/25 NEO engines, there was a NICS system with such binocular ports. I believe early rb20det R31 does not have NICS dividing 1-2-3 -- 4-5-6 cylinders. But it might have a NICS system for closing every second intake valve to mimic SOHC engines in how they flow air in low-end rpm range

[@Kryndon64]

Correct. I am currently turbocharging an NA RB20DE Neo and it features both the NICS as well as the swirl valves right before the intake ports on the head, which helps lean burn and tumble effect within the combustion chamber.

Fun fact - the R33 series 2 GTS25-t would come with a factory boost solenoid. It would run boost at 5psi up until 4500rpm (from memory) and then increase to 7psi. Owned one for 11 eleven years from stock and had modified it a lot during that time. Tried the PowerFC but didn’t like it so instead I had installed a Wolf3D aftermarket ECU (that used a MAP sensor in lieu of an AFM) which could also use the factory boost solenoid; this allowed me to run boost at 20 psi 👍 making 252 kW at the wheels with the factory air box (using K&N panel filter).

@@simonhill6267 Yeah that's more than enough anyways if you want boost. Plus keeping the revs below 8k would theoretically make a engine last longer than one that revs out past 9-10.

I always look at the 993, 996, and 997 Porsches and tell myself if these cars perform the way they do on boost under 8k rpm, then there's no need for me to want anything more than that on a 450-500 hp build, but you're absolutely correct.
