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

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • 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
