When?! I want one!!!!

Hmmm that sounds pretty good... I might see if I can sell mine for something and get one!

Any chance this will be run again soon? I need a sump plug and a gearbox plug for my r34!!

I think I might grab one too if you run this again.

Are there any other improvements with the new controller other than the EL screen??

Hmmm thanks, thats a good endorsement. I will order a super monty

So I understand that the full monty / super monty is a great clutch, but what is like to live with on the street? My wife will be driving this car as well, dont want something that will be too heavy or something that shudders a lot and reduces the drivability of the car too much. I know it is always a trade off between comfort and strength but I'm just trying to get some real world opinions. Cheers

I will be aiming to make just under 300rwkw when I finish the build, however I would like something that will handle 330rwkw in the future.

I called Jim today for a new clutch, but I think he was keen to get out the door (was the end of the day), so I didn't get all of the info I needed to make a choice. Can someone please advise me before I call him back to order? Basically my question is what makes up the full monty package? Are they always the carbonic option, or does he do a organic one? Not sure which one to get as the car will be 95% street. Also what pressure plate does the fully monty use? Also how do people find the full monty (carbonic) on the street? Do they shudder much? Thanks!!

Thank you to everyone for all the info Sounds like yes R33 rods can be used in an R34 (which has different pistons) So I should be all good. In any case I have noticed the seller also has an RB26 kit for the same price, I will just get that to be sure, with the custom Neo pistons instead.

The motor did go pop!! Well the head gasket went pop at least. The bores / pistons look OK visually, but as the motor is out of the car I think i will rebuild it anyway. It's got 100,000k's on it and I want it to last a while, particularly with the increase in power. The additional cost for the forged bits is minimal in the scheme of things, and as I said I am effectively getting the rods for free.

I already have GTR rods as far as I understand! The engine is an R34 RB25DET Neo - I have been told that the Neo uses GTR rods? Am I incorrect in this thinking? The main reason I am looking at getting the Eagle rods with the CP pistons is that the extra cost is minimal. And I was going to get some ARP rod bolts in any case for the rebuild. These are included in the price, so I think I am getting the Eagle rods for almost nothing. In addition to that I have a friend with an R33 GTR. He is currently rebuilding it, and needs new standard rods. I could sell him my rods for a few bucks as I understand the Neo rod is the same as a GTR RB26DETT rod. My initial question though is, are RB25DET rods interchangeable with RB25DET Neo rods, keeping in mind the pistons are different and are not interchangeable. Anyway thanks for all the help so far

300rwkw, for now at least. Going with the forged internals is perhaps overkill for the moment, but I would rather do it properly now just in case I want more in the future. And the motor will be out anyway, so why not! And I may have a buyer for my old rods, so I thought I may as well get the Eagle forges ones too. Each rod is about 150 grams lighter than the stock ones, surely that has to improve things somewhat.

I have a quick question I hope someone can help me with. I know that the R34 RB25DET NEO uses the exact same rods as the RB26DETT, but I just need to confirm that RB25DET rods to suit a non NEO R33 would also fit in an R34 RB25DET NEO. I am almost certain that they are the same size and are interchangeable between all of them, but I just need to make absolutely sure! Reason being is that I am looking at purchasing this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270472689565&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123 I understand that the pistons are completely different on the 25 NEO, but the guy can order the custom pistons to suit from CP. However I just want to make sure that the Eagle rods will no cause me any issues considering they are for a normal R33 RB25DET. Also, any opinions on Eagle rods? Thank you!!!!

haha I was worried for a second... There is an tiny slit that goes back inside the turbo, as per the picture.

You could try cutting the valve stems where they are bent, then sticky taping shaped pop sticks to replace whats missing. That should fix your problem, and add 15-20rwkw.

They seem to be the standard now on the GTX3071R's.

I finally just took delivery of my new GTX3071R!!! Here are some pics up against what it is replacing.

I dont suppose you still have these?

Done and done!! I should have it soon, although the rest of the car is going to take me 2 or 3 months to finish putting it together. Thanks everyone for the input

I actually decided to do that. Coin told me to go GTX3071R.

I know there is lots of information available, and I know it is a decision between more power or more lag. I was just hoping for a quick comment or two from someone to help me go one way or the other because I am sitting right in the middle at the moment, and I need to make a quick decision.

Hi. I recently ordered a GTX3071R turbo kit. The supplier has contacted me and said there has been a delay as they received a GTX3076R instead, and that the turbo I ordered would take a couple more days to get in. I told him that was strange as I was actaully split whether to get that turbo in the first place. I have been thinking recently that I would put in a set of forged pistons and ARP rod bolts while the engine is out (I will use the stock RB25 Neo rods). If I am going to do this to the engine do you think I might as well go for the bigger GTX3076R instead and make use of the stronger bottom end? I have read the other thread about the new GTX30 series turbos and the concensus seems to be that the new GTX3076R is more like the old GT3582R. The car will predominantly be used on the street with the occasional trip to the drag strip. It has all the supporting mods. Will the GTX3076R be too laggy? Please help me make descision!! And help is greatly appreciated!

It pumps fuel good, and its brand new. Bump.
