be interested to hear from anyone - my crapper is a auto rb25de and it might be due for some cubic inches soon

No not in a Skyline, but doing one in my S13, and also (doing one) for a mate into his 280ZX. Chris has a Z31, VH45DE-T, GT35R running ~6psi and making 550rwhp.

BIG thumbs up to the BEST nissan engine ever! (from a cheap hp POV)

im actually quite keen to slot in a 1UZ FE from a Toyota Crown, Toyota Soarer Ltd or a Toyota Celcior. These engines regularly make 700 whp + unopened with quite modest boost.

Also, Castlemaine Rod Shop do a manual bellhousing/flywheel conversion for them to use the W series toyota gearboxes.

i dont know a lot about the Nissan V8's, i assume their also quite strong.

whats the progress don?

progress , umm xmas , too much work , relatives stayed for 2 weeks . how many more excuses am i allowed . Engine on one side of workshop , car on the other , looking at each other . Engine bay stripped ( 6 cyl engine and box sold ) , want to give engine bay a wash and paint , then start fitting . well run out of excuses so will get going again

Hey mate, Check out nissanv8.com and vh45de.com, theres heaps of info and just about all the resources required to stick the engine into just about anything between the two.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
