To Standard Rebuild Or To Forged Rebuild

[johnsta2k]

Now your wallet will be the catalyst to how far you go.Once you figure out your budget the rest is easy,just order the parts

True true, but it sucks to be paid every forth night though gonna go and start looking for my parts

Honestly my oponion would be to buy a cheap rb25det that is in good condition and chuck it in and continue your voyage to 250rwkw. Keep in mind the stock bottom end still has another 50rwkw in headroom and is still considered safe hp for the engine.

Dont waste your money rebuilding the engine. Buy another one for $1500 and sell your old one for $750 and your laughing.

RB25 will do your 250rwkw standing on its head.

This is the correct answer !!

If you insist on rebuilding the engine then don't bother with forged. As said above the stock 50k donks will do your power level easy.

Also slapping forged pistons in a daily can be annoying if you end up with average pistons or average machine work.

Just rebuild it using nissan gen parts and you will have a tough engine.

Your biggest worry with a rebuild is finding a machinist that won't screw your engine somehow.

Exept quality forged pistons are cheaper than the standard Nissan cast items...All I did was a standard rebuild +20thou with ACL forgies and Bearings. Brand new Oil and Water Pump Timing belt Etc...Never had a problem with piston slap or oil usage...Just make sure you replace all the water and oil lines...i didnt and regretted not doing so as ive been trying to fix them as they fail with the motor in the car.

I dont know why you would rebuild a motor to do something a standard one can do.

At the very most i would just put new rings and bearings into your engine to just give it a freshen up but this would be much more costly then getting another engine and chucking it in.

Also use proper oil. Motol 300v will see the engine does not do another bearing.

Thanks guys, guess I concluded to have a forged rebuild and will note to leave some money for the miscellaneous parts. By the way YAWN saw your R32 at Chasers Motorworks couple days ago, looks hot

I'm with you Guilt-Toy, 250rwkw is still WELL withing the realm of a stock RB25. I would just get a good wrecker motor with a warranty mate, throw in some new rings if you want and be done with it.

The quality of the tune will have more to do with your engine hanging together at those power levels than the internals.
