    Default RB20 transforming to RB20Turbo

    Hey im converting my RB20 to turbo. What sort of injectors should I use? I was thinking Skyline Turbo injectors. Will these fit? Has anyone done this with a RB20? If so what did you use?
    I have herd that you don't need to change injectors but I have herd so many different things I don't know what to believe. Please give me the run down on what to use with the injectors.

    any spare parts store sell them. get the details and make sure what will fit and see if its cheaper to get them from a wreckers and get them serviced.

    is the head on the rb20e taht u have i, the same as the head on the rb30e, because if it is then it would be easyer looking for upgrades for rb30 motors then a rb20 motor, if there diffrent try some jap brands like hks or blitzn as they might be able to help with it.

    yah well from what i figger is taht the only way the capaicty of the rb20 and the rb30 is diffrant is from teh pistions used, so maybe the head can be the same (not possitive) so the injecters needed would be the same as the rb30 injectors

    u get my drift

    Yea I get what you mean. But would they squirt to much or does that all come down to the computer im using determines the amount of fuel injected?

    Im just going to go single head cam. And if it blows up it don't matter. Vl parts and motors are easily supplied over in NZ they are everywhere at "Pik A Part". Which is a choose and remove your own part company chain.

    Yea I wil post up a pic of my bay but not til tommorrow cause its dark over here at the moment and obvestily I won't get a good shot.

    hmmm i think it would be the computer that selects the amount injected and the diffrance in the injectors would be the size in allowing the flow amount,
    best bet is reading up on modified skylines with rb20 motors and see waht type of injectors they are runniong and the flow amount they use (think its mesured in cc's)

    better off getting an r32 gts-t half cut and just dropping the whole motor and box in (rb20det) I don't think there are many if any off the shelf performance parts for an rb20e, things will have to be custom made and fabricated. RB30e and et have an abundance of manifolds and pistons and all sorts of other bits available off the shelf so we are lucky in that regard. Are all the VL's in NZ rb20e's?
