RB Engine Series Basic Infomation

[got_boost!]

Not to mention the nice added weight of the AWD system.We dynoed both a AWD and FWD Eclipse who both had roughly 210hp. There was just over 50hp lost at the wheels between the two. Same situation. Exactly same engine, just different drivetrains. You get the idea.

yes

I knew that 2 diffs added friction and weight

it's just that I tought I saw that the engine itself was less powerful(which I couldn't beleive)

now I'm sure thanks

anyone dynoed both GTS-T and GTS-4 yet :wink:

Found this while surfing. Great pics of the RB engine for the R32:

"The large round object on the front plastic cover on the front of the engine is the Crank Angle Sensor"

Is that really the CAS? I thought it was the Cam Position Sensor?

I'm kinda confused. The large round cover I see is the fan housing.. I think I'm missing something.

[icydude]

he means the round thing on the right cam pully...

Is that really the CAS? I thought it was the Cam Position Sensor?

The cams run at double the crankshaft RPM but always remain in phase with it so crank angle can be measured from a cam position sensor and vise versa.

I believe it's the crank and cam angle sensor all in one unit. I know they used to be two units, but on most post '90 turbo cars they cam as a single unit. Either way, that's how you manually adust the timing.

What do the DE stand for in the engine codes?

[JZ]

D: dual overhead cams
E: Electronic fuel injection

Thanks JZ

dyno'd, ecu remapped, and driven never buy a GTS4... its like a GTE with a lil oomph... nowhere near as easy and fun to drive as the GTSt and not even half as good as a GTR's handling or torque transfer to warrant buying it for the AWD. The only people in au who buy it are 1) people who pick it up real cheap at auctions, or 2) misguided people who think that one day they'll drop in an RB26 and instantly have a GTR.

thanks for the info on the engines but how do you convert the torque figures from kg to lbs-ft?

http://www.onlineconversion.com/ use this for converting basically anything to anything

Okay I added gear ratios to the 1st post as it wasn't anywhere on the site

so now you can see how fast your car will go with
