bagged, rb20det powered b2000

thanks , got intercooler started today.have to trim some of the lower plastic part for it to fit properly

this thing is sick man

cheers man

few more pics,


nearly ready for paint


new front brakes,the rx7 front were not any good so gone for 324x30 rotors with wilwood superlites

Did you need a shoe horn to fit this thing in???



Looking good mate.

haha ill need one if i have to take it out! the old rad support had a cut out to slide it in.guess ill cross that bridge if i have to

probably easier to drop the front steering out and lift the ute up to get the engine out.
I've been meaning to ask why you decided on the RB20?
For not much more cash you could have fit a RB25 or made a RB30.
For alot more cash you could've dropped in a VQ35 with turbo's, now that would be sweet!!! Hmm if only I had money and time...
Not being a dick or anything, just curious that's all.

all good man,i actually bought the ute as a runner with the rb20.kinda annoyed at myself that i didnt just upgrade to a 25 or 30 instead of modding the 20.you live and learn i guess.this is my first build of a vehicle so ive definatly learned a few things. i was pretty close to dropping a rb26 in it but then decided to bag it instead.next one will have a v8, turbo lag sucks!
