Hi guys,

I bought a rb25det engine with box for my S13!!

I am looking for over 500hp for drag strip and everyday car!

I will for the begining that I don't have much money to spend and I also want a safe motor!

Where is the limit of the stock pistons? How much horses can handle with good rich mapping (high 11 afrs?) ?

And where is the limit of the stock rods? How many rpm can handle and how can I avoid any damage of them with my driving?

Can I strengh the rod's limits with changing the bolts with arp? I read somewhere this but please confirm this to me :blush:

I will work with stock cams and head!

The parts I will order are:

Greddy style intake

Q45 throttle body

XS Power top mount manifold (I will increase it strengh with a "help bar" and some extra welds)

JUN Crank Collar

N1 oil pump

Tomei oil gallery ofrice (and I will block one oil feed and I will increase the flow of the oil return)

52mm koyo style cooler

I have fmic from my previous motor with core 600x300x76mm and if you think that it isn't enough I can put a same with 100mm core!

I am from Greece and the climate here is quite hot.

My exhaust is 3"! Enough?

I have walbro fuel pump and as I read I need a fuel pressure regulator because stock of rb can't control the big fuel pressure of the walbro!

555cc injectors and 300zx maf and remapping the stock ecu.

And I will try to buy a twin plate clutch kit instead to buy a single ACT even then I read that act can handle 500hp!

If I will buy a twin plate maybe I will buy

Also I bought a gasket kit to replace everything! Also head gasket I will leave the stock.. what limits it have? I read something for 1.2bar boost!

I don't know yet what turbo to use....!

Garret choices:

GT3076 I think that with this I couldn't go more than 520hp..

GT3582 Garret says 400-600hp according the housing...!

Greedy TD06 25!! At 1.15bar with absolutely stock motor got 500bhp!!

Anyone knows how much more can go with more boost?

Turbonetics GT-K 550!! I love the look of this turbo! :banana: 500-600hp rated!

Also any help with the garret turbos what horsepower you can think that can give with the same boost to compare and with what compressor housing? (1.1-1.2 bar)

Garret's are also cheaper choice!

Also please tell me your comments for my choices, tell me what else I will need and help as much as you can :banana:

I dont think 500hp will last long on stock internals, i hope thats a metal head gasket.

At least get forged rods and pistons, and balance the motor.

I would go with a GT35R or a GT3582. With a .82 housing, ur 3 inch will be fine.

You should get the power with standard cams, but i would definately get some minor head work done.

500hp at the crank is approx. 270-320rwkw, depending on drive train and friction etc, its way too variable to put a hard and fast figure on the conversion from chp to whp.

But a std motor will handle up to 300rwkw, but when you get to that level its a roll of the dice as to how long your motor will last.

But I don't care what you say, DA is correct, it'll cost you heaps..............its reality, you can't avoid it.

Ok maybe it will cost and more... but I don't ask you tell me how much will cost!

I ask many questions... can anyone reply me please?

Please I need replies in all of my question... they are very important for me..!

Also I need ecu as my tunner said me that it cannot remapping the stock..!

Emanage choice is good? Can I have launch control for drag strip? Can it increase rev limiter (because a friend told me that it cannot)? Also I don't need 300zx maf right? Can I run with only the map sensor or it needs the stock maf?

just buy a GTR with the amount of money u have to spend to get the power u need.

"I will for the begining that I don't have much money to spend and I also want a safe motor!"

If you dont have enuff money to spend why u telling people no to tell you about prices. They are being realistic and have obviously gone down this path before. If you dont have 10-15k to spend on the car then why bother even thinking of doing it.

To me it all sounds like a lil kid with a big dream, and then he wakes up with his pants wet.

Im not very good with crank horsepower as it doesnt mean shit to me, but personally i wouldnt bother opening up the engine so your going to save a bit of costs there. If it does go bang rebuild it with forged bits. Personally i dont think you will have any issues with it.

They run 9.1 comp ratio which is nice and high, so in my opinion run a gt3076 (.82) with upgraded injectors, pump etc and a good computer without an afm

A friend here is running 270kws at 14psi on a stock as a rock rb25 so its very doable.

Start off with running that turbo on the standard exhaust housing and i think that should get near your power goals without being that expensive.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
