sleepy33 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219066-built-rb25/page/2/#findComment-3869211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 Driver Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219066-built-rb25/page/2/#findComment-3869434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 Driver Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219066-built-rb25/page/2/#findComment-3869735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi100188 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 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 but yeah it'd be cheaper if you buy the parts yourself Cheers Chi Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219066-built-rb25/page/2/#findComment-3870247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
