How long is the piece of string?

What turbo?

What state if the motor in?

looong list

Anyone can put a big turbo on and make 500rwkw.

Doesnt mean you can call that motor reliable

Yeh I know its a preety vauge qeustion Im sourceing a new engine taking my time so it will be a good condition engine, for my 33 GTST and stocking up on goodies to add on in the mean time all I want to know is whats the biggest turbo you can use if you change to sard injectors,N1oil pump,N1water pump, high mount manifold, metal head gasket,FMIC,radiator breather,air flow meter,oil cooler,oil catch can,powerfc with boost controller,fuel regulator,bosch fuel pump,BTMBL split front dump and 3" zorst etc etc... but leave the internals stock?

your plan is very flawed and lacks some important parts;

1) how much do you have to spend

2) what is the car being built for

3) what is your power goal

no need for n1 water pump unless going on a race track all the time (its not suited for street)

no need for n1 oil unless going on a race track all the time (its not suited for street)

high mount manifold is useless

what airflow meter?

why sard injectors?

what clutch?

what cold air intake?

without knowing anything else its very hard to tell you what parts etc.

As youve more than likely allready figured out im pretty new to all this and since im putting in a new engine I just thought Id buy new everything so just went on just jap and nismo and started listing parts and thought might aswell buy the best, what power can you safely push an unopened rb25det to?

max power of stock internals is around 270rwkw

any more and your starting to risk safety

What mods would you suggest to push it up to around that, thats the kind of figure I was hoping for but didnt really want to have to rebuild

ps-thanks for this mate lotta blokes just get on here and treat us newbs like idiots

rb25det

+ heavy duty clutch $1200 fitted

+ apexi powerfc + boost kit $1500 tuned

+ nismo 550cc injectors $1000 fitted

+ z32 airflow meter $450 fitted

+ gtr33 fmic $1000 fitted with pipework

+ 3" turbo back batbml exhaust and 3" hiflow cat $1500 fitted

+ good cold air intake $400 fitted

+ gtr33 fuel pump $300 fitted

+ hks gt-rs $2800 fitted

+ nismo fuel regulator $300 fitted

+ set of good 255 tyres $500 fitted

total; $10,650 with conservative labour rates

then you should really look at brake and suspension upgrades.

with that amount of power, estimated 260rwkw at 1.3bar it will spin and carry on sideways and insist on spinning as much as it can so you really need to work on the suspension to make it more enjoyable, safe and allow it the best chance to get the power down.

hey dude :laugh:

why are you buying a new engine what is wrong with the current one in ur r33 now?

looks like when I had it serviced some cock jockey forgot to screw the plugs back in, drove fine for about a month and them blew the thread out of no1 burnt the coils and dropped who nows what into the engine, I could pull the head off get it machined put in a hellicoil and put it all back together again but whos to say thats the only problem and then Ive spent more than half the money Id pay for a whole engine replacement so I though wtf not? first I was thinking of the 25/30 build but thats out of budget for me :laugh:

Manifold - $1200

ECU - $1100-$1800

Tuning - $400

Turbo - $1800

Injectors - $900

AFM (maybe) - $350

Ext Gate (maybe) - $700

I/C + Piping - $600

Radiator - $660

Fuel Pump - $300

FPR (not needed) - $150

Catch Can - $250

Exhaust - $700-$1100

Your well over the 6-7k budget dude. You at 9k before you even start paying for labour which will put you into the 11k or more region

Those prices are retail.

I think your best bet is to settle with a stock turbo for the time being.

Get all the bits save for the turbo/injectors etc etc as you are double your budget before you even start.

Who cares about showing off to your mates. Going from 150rwkw to 270rwkw isnt a walk in the park. Can be the death of you quite easily

1) Have a read of the RB25 sticky thread

2) Have a search on the turbos used (for more detailed threads) and then go from there.

3) All this has been done pretty well before as 250rwkw is common goals.

:P

Not another one!!!!

I know a cheaper way mate.

spend some of your money on a corolla.

then spend the rest of your $7K or so on steroids, hit the gym, get fcuking massive and when any of your xr/clubadore mates says anything about your corolla, go nuts, rip their arms off, and beat them to death with them.

:)

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
