ey everyone. just wanting to know what people would prefer. my goal is to have around 280 - 300 rwkw.. but have a generous amount of response down low.. but still retain reliability...

What set ups would people recommend and would it be more COST-EFFICIENT of doing the mods to an rb25det or an rb25/30 det in order to achieve the 300rwkw target???? What mods would you need like turbo, aftermarket ecu etc

i can pick up an rb25 det head and rb30 block series 2 n/a for $700 (seperated)

comes with everything except loom, computer, exhaust manifold and turbo

or

an rb25det with everything ready to be bolted in for $2,000

all i can say is search mate there is over 260 pages of usefull imforamtion and dnt say its to long lol i read it all and im glad i did its all the little things that are in it that help you out. rb30det all the way but thats wat im doing

yea i was reading that thread and saw people were running 300rwkw on stock internal rb25dets? is this reliable?? i mean really, what is the better go for that kind of power or somewhere near like 270rwkw? the rb25det complete for 2k or the rb25/30 needing a few pieces for $700??

im saving up for the 30det to put in my 32 gts4.... the 25 can obviously pull the sorta power your looking for reliably but if you can come up with a 30det cheap enough why wouldnt you go that over a 25??? im craving the torque

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
