buy a half cut,get them around 2000 imlucky my gfs bro works at a performance shop and said he would install it for free if i help him ahahahhaa

My m8 had an RB20 in his VL. he runs a Haltech computer. runs 12's @14psi 1/4mile. In need of a turbo & manifold upgrade, the ceramic wheel just wont cut it. any sugestions on what manifold & steel wheel ball bearing turbos will fits? http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/susvs/vleng.jpg

for the people asking for wiring information check out the following sites: http://www.gweeds.net/carpage2/nismodoreindex.html http://www.rb20det.com/ecupinout.html i know the first one only has information about the wiring for a rb25det, but if you compair with the pin outs on the other site you should be able to work it all out. the main things that you don't need to worry about on the rb25 diagram is the valve timing solonoide, boost control valve, and the stuff that is not labeled and dose not exist on an rb20det, also take note that the pin outs for the injectors are different on the two motors. with the two sites above i worked out a hacked up rb20det auto wiring loom, with half the connectors missing.

yeah use an rb25det turbo aparently they work well... and im assuming the rb25 manifold will fit the rb20 as there both similar engines

How did you guys manage to fit the VL slave cylinder to the RB20 box? Unless you made a bracker as they have different bolt patterns. Not really necessary anyway as you can just swap the clutch line over onto the Rb20 slave cylinder.

Not really necessary anyway as you can just swap the clutch line over onto the Rb20 slave cylinder. My box came with the rb25 slave attached so i just took the VL master cyl and rb25 slave cyl into Enzed and they made up a clutch line for me.

i am using a vl gearbox, so i have none of that to worrie about, also using a vl box it won't put your speedo out. sorry i think i miss read what you wrote about the slave cyl.

Whats the go with that?! The VL clutch line just screws into the RB20 slave!

hey what did every one else who has put in an rb20det in to a vl do, as far as the throttle cabel go's, as i made a bracket on the back of the manifold, but it only allows you to open the t/b to about 75% when your foot is flat to the floor. so did anyone swap the t/b on the rb30 to the rb20 or did ya's do something else. cheers

i used zip ties, and i'm being serious

hey i have got a vl with the converison i bought it allready done but the tacho has never worked could u plz send me the diagram of wat i need to do to make it work ok thankz plz email back soon

do a search man, been on here heaps

Here guys check out my conversion heaps of info and pics Here guys check out my conversion heaps of info and pics http://d1nz.org.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14754 Quote: Originally Posted by VLHERO How did you guys manage to fit the VL slave cylinder to the RB20 box?

The Vl slave bolts staight up to the Rb20det box im running a rb20det box behind my rb30et

why would you replace all the sensor's to Vl ones when your going to be using the rb20det motor? i kind of missed something. Ive also read that the engine is a direct swap, as in, take rb30 out, drop rb20 in, wire it up, and its done, i have never heard from anyone that there is a need to replace the sensors and compressor's and all that other stuff listed, im pretty sure even the engine mounts from the rb30 would bolt up to the rb20? might be wrong though.

nice write up Abusiv-VL, almost same colour as my m8s RBVL20.

Hey all im currently in the process of firing up an rb25det in my vl but im totally stuck with the wiring. I have a complete r33 manual with more wiring looms illiustrated in it than you can poke a stick at, and I had an auto electrician come and try to start it for me and I still dont know where to start. does any know of any auto elecs in melbourne that can do it or any advice or help. Thanks

believe the is a shop in Brisbane that does loom, as in full conversion looms, int's in brisbane or the gold coast, will try and find out the name for u

Wiring isnt as hard as you'd think it would be. Main things are power to the efi relay and fuel pump relay. I've wired 2x rb20's and both these had the relays already on the harness, just needed powering up. That came from in the fuse box in the engine bay. You need to hook up a starter signal from the ignition switch to the computer, and wire up the instruments. Instruments are easy, you just probe the wires on each of the sensors and find the other end of them at the computer side then wire them into the VL plugs under the glovebox. You also need to play with the alternator harness near the battery a bit too. Hard to explain all this properly here, but it's not that big a drama. It took me a couple of nights to do mine, but i had no idea. I did my mates one in a couple of hours after i knew what i was doing. My other mate wired up his Rb25 himself using the origional harness, no problems.

Thanks VL Drift and poohkies, I didnt think there was THAT much to it. I rang a few places locally like rajab n they all wanted around $1000 to fire up a ****en ecu. i could get an apexi ecu for that. thanks for confirming what I thought isnt a big job Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Do it yourself for free. No wonder these guys have such cool race cars, they make a fortune overcharging people. All you need is a soldering iron, sidecutters, some heatshrink tube and elec tape. Oh, and a multimeter. I just used a Nissan wiring diagram that also had ecu pins marked out and a Gregorys manual for the VL side. And a bit of brainpower. Goodluck with it.
