Built Rb25

[sleepy33]

does anyone out there know of any workshops round perth that sell ready built motors

with forgies and stuff

if not what are some recommendations for places to get an engine built

considering quality and price go hand in hand

is 7k a reasonable amount to pay for a full rebuilt

cheers in advance

ive never bought or looked for one myself but im pretty sure that sounds close to buying a 25 and building it. so yeh about right i would think. dunno about shops selling ready built import engines, maybe a V8 crate motor though lol

[ossie_21]

Price is about right, maybe more depending just how serious you want to get. Chances of a built 25 ready to go would be slim, but you might get lucky, just don't count on it

7k for a full rebuild with forgies?

does it sound right then that i got quoted from like 7 workshops 7k-8k for a FMIC, GT30R, Injectors, Fuel Pump, PowerFC fitted and tuned!?!

thanks...

P.S: sorry for hijacking the thread, it's kind of related

[inthisglass]

well approx costs

FMIC = $1000

injectors = $1000

fuel pump = $300

PFC = $1400

turbo = $2000 ?

so your looking at about 5.5 grand worth of parts

then workshop labour at about $80 an hour

then about $170 an hour for tuning

hmmm im pretty sure racespec supply full rebuild kits for like 2.5k or osmething around there ? and then all the machining wouldn't be too expensive if u bring it to the machinist yourself instead of a work shop well thats my 2c's hahah

Cheers

[ztuned]

ill buy the parts and give u 2c to do the machining for me CHI!! haha

anyone know how much a built rb25 would cost?

[R32 Driver]

how much do u want build?

just forged pistons and rods or...

new crank?

water pump

oil pump

timing belt

gasket kit

valves

valve springs

port n polishing

arp head/main studs

cams

cam gears

bearings

thats just starters

then u need the

turbo, manifold(s), ecu, injectors, fmic, fuel pump, fuel pressure reg, exhaust

now a tune and add LABOUR which is $80-90 an hour for a workshop these days

it depends how far you want to go

but an extensive rebuild say to rev higher, will cost bulk

compared to a basic bottom end rebuild

hahah ok Ztuned if u want ur engine to go bang hahah hmmm im just talking about pistons and rods and rings and bearings....and give the block a good clean up and wack on a big turbo adn smile? but if ur meaning some serious stuff ill just go out and buy a Tomei 2.8 stroker kit and get a workshop to wack it in

Cheers

[hoony]

Tomei 2.8L for 7k this way please HAHA

[bubba]

7k will get you built internals, or a bunch of bolt ons, not both.

Go read through the RB25 sticky in the Forced Induction forum..

Or you could build a cheap 30

Really depends on what your goals are.. you could easily blow 15-20k on internals if you really wanted to.

[Chi100188]

hmmm i think ill go the cheap RB30 hahah imagine the RB30 with a GT35R = game over hahahah

Who'd do such a thing? *cough* Bubba *cough* *cough*

[sleepy33]

cheers guys

okay im after about 250- 280 rwkw

so what kind of built would do the job

considering a 25/30 build but costs may not be woth it if im only going for 250-280

has anyone done a rb25 rebuilt recently

if so could you possibly post

1. power output

2. parts used

3. cost if possible

oh yeah any recommendations for somewher to get the engine machined

my current mods are listed in my sig

i will be upgrading the turboand cams

will these mods be enough for my target

cheers

[R32 Driver]

thats between only 330-380hp

anything rebuild worth its money would easily handle that

how about just change the exhaust manifold (top or low of your choice)

bigger turbo, cams, and a full ecu?

then when the engine blows.... then rebuild it?

[sleepy33]

i was thinking of buying a motor and build it up

this might be a stupid question but what the diff between a short and long motor???

and when it comes to pistons what do 20 thou and 40 thou mean??

cheers

[bubba]

Yeah give me a couple of months and I'll let you know how RB30 + GT35R goes

Also, if you're rebuilding, there's no significant difference between building a 25/30 and rebuilding a 25.

Short motor generally means bottom end and head, no manifolds, turbos, injectors or ancillaries.

20thou and 40thou is thousands of an inch oversize, i.e. if the bores are scored and you need to bore them out then you would be going 0.020" oversize etc.

An example is my crank, I had it ground for 0.010" (0.25mm) oversize bearings.

I agree with R32 Driver's thought, but I'll add if you manage to take out the block some how, its a good excuse for a 25/30 build

[WA_R32]

+1 to blowing it up first then rebuilding it
