Sounds stroked to me, but that's just a speculation. The revs seem to sound just a little too high to be building on a stock head/bottom end.

But thanks for the video, it IS mean, and I am adding it to my favorites.

revs sound fine for a 20 . would be different if we were talking about a 26. if theres one thing the 20 does right is rev to 10 likes its nothing.
but then again im sure it is built.

He was slow.

[Rapier46]

^^ yeah..... that wasnt impressive at all.

[Skym]

It's still 2 litre (might be 0.5 to 1.0 over size forged pistons, as they rebuilt engine every 2500km or so due to running 1.7 bar / 25psi all of the time and foot to the floor driving).

I gather from what I have read, someone else might have been driving, not owner of the car.

This is the owner driving -

See the difference.

Some great footage there Skym.

I think the boost was upped for the second vid. The car pulls WAY harder. The first vid was like watching paint dry as the car was going through a gear (all except 1st). You can hear it as he goes over bumps in the track. Much more surging and bucking. Hauls ass.

I think that's a 351 V8 Ford Falcon in second videoclip.

I agree, boost level might have been dropped for the noice driver.

I like this videoclip below, as can see a V8 Torana in the hands of a good driver (Peter Brock), struggling to keep up. The sound is just amazing from race version of RB20DET -

Considering what tyres they where using back then, Peter Brock did a good job.

and what the rb26 with its huge stroke doesn't?

rb20's are not suited to rev to 10, the rb26 is due to the solid cam design.

[NismoS-tune]

That car has pretty brutal response. they all lose him in the corners and on the long stretches he catches up a bit lol.

[Skym]

The brutal response, sound from exhaust is what I like about that RB20DET. With more practice, novice driver should get better.

Rabbit, Mcfly, you'll probably find high reving import engines in Europe.

I think Mario's RB26 was capable of reving to 13,500rpm. But from memory, he did have to replace valves.
