Hi All, Looking to buy the stock RB25det engine with complete ECU loom coupled with the Transmission for a project car @ $2.5k max Could you please 'pm anything you may have in relation to the above.

Hi John, I'm interested. Will send thru Pm. Ta

G'day what's the price?

Hi mate, could you throw up a price on what you would let the car go for as a whole? ta.

You can use a spare suitably sized hose clamp (like the cooler piping ones) worth junking. Tighten it onto the filter (bad ass tight) with a ratchet. Then using a hammer and screwdriver/rod extension, hammer the raised section of the hose clamp to get the initial rotation started.

Hi what bottom end components does it have? Crank/rods/pistons

All consumable parts would be in summary a good start, of which fluids and belts as you have already mentioned. Further to that, you could check hoses, ignition coils and spark plugs and perform a compression/ leak-down test while apart. Is it heavily modified or stock? Personally I wouldn't bother going way over the top replacing a whole host of parts, since you can begin replacing parts with upgraded or new parts as you go e.g fuel and ignition, alloy radiator, turbo etc. Provided that the engine is in good shape (as tested from the compression/leak down) you'll know your working from a good base. Maintain it (oil/ fluids) and upgrade supporting mods (injectors, driveline bushes/clutch) as required to meet your goals (power/ application: street, circuit, and drift)

How much for just the 6boost only? Is it a high mount?

Dude, I offered an opinion constructive to the OP. I merely attempted to frame my response in an engaging way. I don't come on to these forums tip-toeing around those wanting to play semantics. Of course a CAMs License isn't an answer for doing the wrong thing. To clarify: in the event of a random breath test whereby they use the opportunity to go over my car with a fine comb - I personally use my CAMS license as my last line of defence for my mods which appear mild. We all know if they want to pin something on you, they'll find something.

Who said anything about me getting pulled over for speeding? Who said ALL hoons come from E/hills? Your level of comprehension baffles me.

Yes and there are speed limit signs all across Australia.... I didn't mean Endeavour Hills was Hoon City simply because it had one single hoon hotline sign.

Lucky for you Chasers isn't too far out of your way. My 300kw Skyline is Tuned by them. Paul is an engineer, and tunes everything from Skylines to Helicopters to desert super buggies and time attack machines plus accounts for elevation changes in hill climb machines. After having it tuned: I run full boost flatstick during my trackdays at Phillip Island and the tune is spot on. Can't say the same for my brakes however, they're completely toast -Incl warped rotors front and cracked rotor rear left. Even managed to Spin off at 200km/hr (GPS verified). Car was a beast. Summary: Can't go wrong with Chasers. I ended up using them because at the time I needed someplace close to the CBD so I could get to work after dropping it off. I didn't see Chasers mentioned much on these forums hence wasn't my first choice. Now I wouldn't use anyone else.

Welcome to Hoon city; Where the kids grew up and stopped riding push-bikes and began driving turbo cars. You will note that there is a hoon hotline sign when entering James Cook Drive from Hallam North Rd. I carry my CAMS license in the event of a 'random' check/breath-test to differentiate myself from the hoons vs trackday enthusiast keeping in it off the street.

Regardless of which turbo you use to reach your power goal, you will need to replace your injectors and AFM anyway, so I would buy them first before considering selling and replacing your turbo. Do that first and see whether you can get the power and response your after by increasing the boost pressure also. At 16psi for a big turbo, you won't be maximising it's abilities. I'd say at a minimum, boost it up. Your low boost setting say 16psi and a highboost setting of 20. As hypergear has mentioned, you'll be making a lot of power.

Would you consider parting it? Might get more for it - in which case I'd like to enquire about the LSD.
