depends where you are from. Hi octane racing sell the whole kits, alternatively you can buy stuff from nengun or greenline, or plenty of other places i'm sure

www.nengun.com

www.greenline.jp

EDIT: oh wait....sorry didn't read it properly, STANDARD rebuild kit...maybe nissan? Which state are you in?

[phee]

probbaly cheaper to buy another stock engine and go from there, then you can sell what you don't use and recover some of your costs

[Duncan]

what do you mean by rebuild kit?

[handyandy]

just out of curiosity, what would an average cost be for a standard 25 build?

[R31Nismoid]

depends what you want.

[CruiseLiner]

i think he said "standard" rebuild

[Duncan]

man this thread is not getting far.....

VRS kit from Nissan gaskets and seals about 400

bearings about 300 from ACL

rings about 300 from ACL

machining....who knows, depends what is wrong...allow a few hundred

head reco - will probably need guides and seals around 500

strip and assemble....not sure

From what I was quoted:

3k - 2nd hand rb25, engine in & out

4k-4.5k - Rebuilt rb25 with standard pistons with existing block

7k-8k - Fully rebuilt rb25 with forgies etc, but I might be getting rods for free if my block can still be used

This figures are off the top of my head though, cant remember specifics

[r33_racer]

go the rb30det conversion.

[handyandy]

r33racer-- what would a rb30/25 build be worth? Not a race engine but with forgies etc.

[R31Nismoid]

9k drive in drive out

[handyandy]

nismoid...what would the car have to have already for it to be $9k?

[LatinR33]

if your after a standard rebuild, might as well buy a really good condition second hand engine. they are not that expensive.

[R31Nismoid]

nismoid...what would the car have to have already for it to be $9k?

RB25 head with the plenum and not a lot else is kept, bottom end is sent to the heavens... rest you get along the way.

[r33_racer]

Our race engine was about 10k, but we built it ourselves. So not that much...people are doing budget builds for about 2k however if you go forgies its prob not a budget build anymore, should be good for 300rwkws easily.

RB30det guide = free!

Series 2 short block in good nick = $50 - $200

Pistons ACL, CP, other... = $1000-$1500

Bigend/Conrod bearings ACL = $150

Headgasket Cometic/ACL = $250-$300

Machining..decking, welshplugs, Modify head drill hole for vct if any and modify water gallery for headgasket seal, possibly hole for tensioner if you cant do it yourself = $1000

Collar and oil pump = $600 (dont have to do this, but i would)

Possibly aftermarket plenum for height issue or you can raise your bonnet or drop motor down when refitting engine.

Assembly yourself would be free by someone else cheapest ive seen is about $800.

I think thats it....whats that total..about $3750 with all extremes call it $4000 with assembly $4800-$5000. So thats just your motor to replace the rb25. No power mods. Thats what i would call a basic rebuild abit better then a budget build. But doing the niggly little things in the guide yourself helps with price.

Anyone feel free to correct me or prices if they feel they arent 'fair'. Im in qld but i wouldnt think prices would vary greatly from state to state.
