skyryan ATWELL represent i went to primary school with your bro

yeah i dont think it will be long till it blows

its surging at idle but only in drive and neutral(its auto)

no idea what it is

i have reset the ecu to no effect

runs perfectly above idle on and off boost

so with the oversized pistons should i wait to get the rebuild kit after the motor has been machined

so i can see what sizes i need

or would most machining places bore the block out to a requested size even if its not needed?

cheers

you may want to look at strengthenin the auto box or a shift kit

you building it yourself? or is a workshop/machine shop assembling it?

id imagine they can just do it without the actual pistons and just the sizes

build a rb25/30 :) torqe ftw!

spoolimports.com has a fair few piston/rod packages

and Sydneykid has used them pumping 500rwhp+ and still running

i am very much leaning towards a 25/30

ill get it done at a shop

any recommendations

a workshop i found has a kit for a 25 $5120 for parts plus labour which that said 1500-1800 depending on the condition of the head

sound ok???

was thinking of manual convertion

or shift kit and oil cooler and some strengthening

havent really researched gearboxs in depth yet

breakdown of the parts? and there individual cost?

labour sounds right, does it include cams?

and i dont think the rb25 pistons would fit a rb25/30

and im sure spools rods r cheapest forged items you will find $645 a set

be fare to say once u get a new turbo, manifold, engine rebuild, ecu and tune

you wont get much change out of 10k

nah no cams

no individual prices

STAGE 1 $3205

cp pistons and rings

eagle H beam conrods

genuine nissan gasket kit

tomei metal head gasket

tomei assembly lubricant

STAGE 2 same as 1 plus

genuine nissan n1 water pump

gates timing belt

$3705

stage 3 plus

ARP head studs

ARP main studs

ACL race main bearings

ACL race conrod bearings

$5120

hmmmm you might as buy one of those rebuild kits off RACESPEC hes a sponsor for the forums and he sells kits for the RB25 which includes CP Pistons, Rings and Rods for 1850 so that saves you a bit on parts and also the main studs and head studs you can get off RACESPEC or high octane racing their website is http://www.hioctaneracing.com.au/eshop/ so i hope that helps anyways :spank: but yeah it'd be cheaper if you buy the parts yourself :P

Cheers

Chi

on the cheap ftw!!

if there is a cheap way to rebuild an engine

definately gonna try to cut costs anywhere possible

but not cut quality

does anyone recommend somewhere or someone to build an engine

cheers matt

yeh fair few machine shops would be able to machine/build it

but u still need a workshop to wack on the turbo (if u cant do it urself)

ummm

u can source it WAAAAAY cheaper if thats w.o labour

check our CRD's package in the sponsor section

they have a nice deal goin on

man the CP package from RACESPEC is quality its cheap :spank: hehehe if u want quality and a price tag bust out some HKS, Tomei, Jun items :P pretty sure they'll make ur wallet lighter ;) but if ur after good cheap quality parts then yeah Hi Octane or RACESPEC is the go :(

Hi octane is over priced, 3.6k not including gst, thats closing in on 4k for

pistons, rings, rod, gasket kit, metal head gasket

RACESPEC is very similar to SpoolImports (10 bucks more for the 25 package)

RB25/26 - $1850.00

RB25/30 or RB26/30 - $2050.00

RB30 - $2050.00

SpoolImports

1. Package deal on 1 set of Spool RB30 H beam conrods with 1 set of Forged CP Pistons and rings. - $1990

2. Package deal on 1 set of Spool RB26/25 H beam conrods with 1 set of Forged CP Pistons and rings. - $1840

Both run CP pistons/some forged rods with ARP bolts

CRD

ARIAS Pistons

EAGLE connecting rods

NISSAN (Genuine) gasket kit

TRUST drag metal head gasket

TRUST camshafts

ACL race series engine bearings

Total price only $3599.00

Same price as Hi-Octane but u get cams and bearings (combined value around 800 more)

Dont forget all these "rebuild" kits

you need to factor in some of the following items if its not included

Gates timing belt $300

crank/main bearings 400-500

gasket kit $500~

Optional

Water pump $200

N1 or higher Oil Pump if your makin decent power $500+

ARP main/head stud kits 600-700

cant just throw in "forge pistons and rods" then go horray! 600hp ftw!

definatly gonna shop around heaps

the racespec ones seem okay

i read somewhere that the n1 oil pump is dodgey on street driven cars

something bout it cant pump enough oil at low rpm or something

not sure how true it is

how long would a rebuild take at a shop

taking into consideration other jobs and all that

cheers

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
