rb20 conversion vp ute

[wotatoy]

hi has ne one done a conversion for a rb 20 motor??? just gathering info so if u can help thanx

[PSI234]

yeah it has been done before into a vn sedan,problem with the rb20 is that its a 2L and wouldn't have as much torque as say the 2.5L rb25 so hence would be a better conversion keeping in mind the v6 is a 3.8 L nearly twice as big as the rb20.....still would be a cool conversion though

Shame that the RB30, is older then the VP.

That would be ideal.

yeah i was in a vl with a rb 20 turbo and it went like the clappers and i was thinking in my ute being lighter might be alright thankx tho did you know the bloke???

You should be able to get a rb30 into the VN right through to VS legally as they came in the Series 3 skyline that ran the same emissions adr

theres someone on the forums with a VN calais turbo, with A RB30 conversion, dont think its done yet but looks good

still, why not just buy a VL turbo and go crazy??? i suppose if u wanna be diffrent, rb20 would be a plain waste of time, and same with rb25, use the RB30 as they'res about 4,000,000,000 of the motors sitting at wreckers

[wotatoy]

search this forum. this topic has been brought up a time or two before. everytime i learn something new. so it would be worth doing a search

Nah man the Kframe from the VL bolts into a VN-S engine and all I think you can even use the VL gearbox mounts and front tailshaft? if not that's about all you need to change, it's 98% bolt in. The VN/P have all the same suspension and floorpan as the VB-L they just the same car with a different shaped body (and different track, so the diff although is bolt in swappable it's too short/wide depending on which body it's going in and which one it came from )

yeah that does sound good but it isnt that easy to do, on skylines australia there is a forum with over 200 pages with trying to do that conversion and all the little things you need to know will probably take a while to sought through it all.
