lol, yeah, swapping in V8s is no longer cool, the next step is the imaginary I6.

wtf is an RB23? and dont tell me its a typo because 3 is no where near 5,6 or 0...wtF?

[orestes]

well its not a real nissan factory engine but ive heard of it. IIRC rb23 is a rb20 stroked with the 2.5 crank and you can also make a rb24 which is the same thing but with the 2.6 crank. and then you use the 2.0 pistons with it so you dont get taken all the way up to 2.5 or 2.6 L. i guess its just a cheaper route to an RB???

OHHHHH shit! You guys got shut down! Yeah, check out the Australia Skyline forums some time :P If you can get an RB30, then I wouldn't be really surprsied about the 23.

SR22? Maybe it was a 20 w/ a stroker, but no turbo... Would make sense, since most people change out the stock turbo anyways. Not likely though

It's funny. You guys call out the people who post stupid questions that are usually misinformed or just plain dumb, but given some time, they make that sh!t a reality.

SR20DETT anyone?
KA24DETT anyone?

(*hint* neither are typos)

LOL

the only reason that sounds funny to me is because they probably thought that the honda 2.2L engine was the only size they came in.. so they didn't believe the sr was a 2.0L and said "duh well uhh i guess uhh its probablyyyyyy aaaaa 2.2....... and maybe we'll pretend its the h22 and cook a bowl of rice on it..... uhhh with some noodles uhhh"

whatever, it IS possible to have almost any size i.e. sr22det BUT the engine code wouldn't be sr22det. if they knew any better, they'd say sr20det with a 1.-L to 2.-L stroker kit...





either that or i'm really really anal about that stuff

So let me get this straight, hes buying a car with a combo'ed engine to make something we no little or nothing about....and then hes asking what upgrades he should do with little or no info on the car and condition? and hes also upgrading from a 2.0l FWD nissan, which is no way alike to the car hes buying...i think he should do some more research or make a more detailed question?

[sidewayzS13]

i think he needs to ask a skyline specific forum for the ?'s about a rb23. and ask us about other things like suspension and what not. seriously mix and match engines is whack shit. reminds me of hw all the honda engines can be mixed and matched kinda. and im in no way comparing the rb series to hondas

I was like WTF is a RB23, but you guys answered that already

go find a good skyline forum, you won't find much help about that here i think

the RB30 is a real nissan engine in Australia, i believe it's a SOHC motor from something like a truck, i'm really not sure on what it was in, the RB30 hybrid motor that i have seen online was using a head off a RB26DETT i believe
