stagea motors are usually fairly cheap to pick up in half cuts, maybe try just jap?

Nizpro (Nispro?) on the Gold coast have a few stags sitting there, apparently, as well. I'll see if the youngsters know of any around the place as well...

It may be cheaper to jusy source an RB25 N/A for a Sky.

Generally Importers rub their hands in glee when you mention Stag, and the price can go up.

I was at Nizzpro last week and they had a couple of wrecks and a half cut, There were also RB25 motors lying around.

Might as well buy the long block, bernard, and then have some mild port work done to the head so it flows a little better.

every time an RB25 drops a ring land, baby jeezus cry's.....

Baby jeezuz spends a fair bit of time crying usually.

What caused the meltdown anyway? What sort of boost? There is a bloke on here somewhere that is keeping a thread running about engine failures, make sure you do a search and have a read.

was i little bit of my own fault really. i had a gt34r turbo high mounted and 40mm gate which was mounted near the steering rack .i have the worst luck that when was doing high speeed and high revs a stick or some thing tore the wast gate line off and so be it .was only a split second and herd the wast gate shut and hit the clutch strait up but looked in the mirror and could not see the road behind . then the flames came oil all over a glowing turbo not a good combo. was massive boost as it has stretch the impellor shaft in the turbo and all.

so yeh now the head is flowed full forged everything for the bottom end cams and gears and trust intake with 90mm throttle body and a gt35 82r turbo thanks to gcg .

everything is sitting at advan waiting to go just trying to sought out this bottom end and to rb30 i will see how i go with this bottom end in sydney if it is a dud i will def take yours for sure .

as for the wast gate lines going all braided this time . alot of money for a stupid bit of hose and a split second. but cant complain of how the car was hauling before the implosion .

last tune was 255awk so hope this time will be a little bit higher power figure .fingers crossed
