Pulled Engine Out

[Stealthynsa]

took out old stock rb25de ( due to screwed internals ) we took it out in under 5 hours . and it will be much quicker to get back in since we have an understanding about the engine and where everything goes

now getting clutch/flywheel machined and putting a replacement rb25de in tomorrow ( ide put a rb25det in but i cant drive it yet, ill do it in 2 years time )...

me and a friend went in guns blazing not knowing anything about what we were doing or where to start and to tell u the truth its pretty easy and so far the results are great. i dont understand why people would pay for it to get done unless they didnt have the spare time that is lol...

here is a couple of pics i thought ide keep for me and for u people to see...

(btw its backyard performance thats how easy this is )

Im teh dude on the right, the dirty 1 who done most of the work lol

oh and the sun was blazing at like 42 or more that day and i got burnt like hell but so far its turning into a tan

Possibly due to P Plater restrictions I'm guessing..

Good to see you got stuck into giving it a go for yourself, just make sure everythings hooked back up properly!

What happened to cause the damage to the old engine?

yeah i put a turbo on my car being stupid and i knew the limit for a n/a engine is 7psi without doing work to it but my turbo ran 15psi stock lol and i cbf taking it back of so basically i drove the engine into the ground..

it still went hard i snapped skylines and 200sx. but didnt change ecu or nothin so it was a big waste of time.

but yeah now ive learnt my lesson since i lost my license driving the car aswell... so from now till when i get off my greens (in 2 years) ill save money and work a turbo engine or just pull my other rb25de out and work from bottom up.

rb series engines are pretty easy to pull out, i am a mechanic and when you have right tool eg air tools, i think it took me about 5.5hrs to remove and fit one engine... nice work trust em after pulling about 20 of these engines they get quicker and quicker

From what ive seen all the electricals etc seem to unplug close to the engine so it's all fairly neat to remove/replace.

is that engine hovering above the bay with the support of a screwdriver? awesome guys good effort

[Stealthynsa]

is it true that when the flywheel is really shiny/dirty (glazed or something) i should get it machined and they clutch should grip well again. i have a a exedy heavy duty sports tuff clutch and its basically 3-4months old and i thrashed it as soon as i got it and i heard u have to let it wear in. the clutch is fine just my mate said the flywheel is glazed so would this make my clutch grip well again like when i firstly got it...

i hope it does cause even though my car in n/a 2.5l i chirpped 3rds and i got alot of power for the next gears.

ide have the new engine in now its just that i heard i should get my flywheel machined

fark man looks like a big job there, me and a mate pulled the engine out of my old audi and pretty much rebuilt the whole front end of the car in his carport so i know what its like...

do did you have a turbo on there or what? the exhaust looks NA to me? im just having trouble working out if u had a turbo there because u said u were too lazy to take it off but theres no turbo there???

lol well when i "had" the turbo on my car it seemed to be running hard and normal still cause of the excess power flowing through the engine then i got caught lost my license so i took the turbo off and realised the first piston was running at 50psi and 2nd and 3rd were fine then the battery died so i thought ide take it out get a new 1 and while im on my P's for the next 2 years ill pull my old screwed engine apart and rebuilt it into a turbo motor since it would work out cheaper cause ide be obviously be putting decent internals in. rather then buying a turbo engine and changing it all... thats the whole story i think i get my license in 1month and 2 weeks now and i know im buying a custom plate i cant tell u guys what it is cause i cant trust u all 100% no offence and im looking to buy some adjustable suspension to lower my car i want it around 15cm from the ground
