Rb25det Required

[INVRTD]

ay guys after finding out my cylinders have number one at 90psi and the rest at 150, looks like im in the market for a new RB.

so if you guys have had to replace your engine and know anygood places to get them, importers, reckers etc...

and what should i do besides a compression test to make sure this ones not gonna die on me in a few months.

thanks in advance

If I were in your position I would have the engine rebuilt, that way you know that it is in perfect condition and will go for at least another 300,000kms (if you dont kill it before then).

When you buy a second hand engine you are always taking a risk... Its a gamble because even if the engine has good compression you dont know what has been done to it in the past and/or how many genuine kms it has done or how hard those kms have been on the engine.

Although if you want a decent second hand RB call Just Jap in Sydney.

a friend of mine is stripping out his rb25det R32, engine has done about 50,000kms. i need the gearbox but he wont seperate from the engine, he wants about 4k for engine/gearbox, tailshaft etc. ill see what price hed do on just the engine for you.

mang that would be good, but looking at the moment i dont have enough to do anything about it until start of next year, dirtgarage, mate i wish i had a lazy 13 grand sitting round but thats way out of my pockets range.

how much would it cost for a rebuild, i have seen some 25s 3nd hand go from anywhare from 1500 to 2000, how much would it cost for a mech to do a straight swap.

No good my friend, Drive her nicely and she will last a bit longer, No more 7000rpm shifts...

rebuilt to my standards will cost you around $3600-$3900 plus parts, but will be good for up to 400KW (provided you buy the right bits for it)

keith, lol, im granny driving, if i rev to hard she blows smoke like a preverbial but if gentle is kinda ok

is that 400 rwkw, what parts would i look at???, is 3600-$3900 just the labor, remove, rebuild & and install (does that come with a good dyno tune???

$3600-$3900 is for strip down, clean, measure, ALL machining shop expenses, full engine balancing, another clean, measure, dummy assembly, clearances rechecked, full assembly and engine paint.

another $1500 to R & R the engine...no dyno.

quality costs $$

yeah mate no issues there verry much know you get what you pay for, well except for my car, haha, its good to judge whats out there, always helps thanks for the feedback mate its most helpful, making me want to redraw loan haha

Do the r and r your self. It will save you money to put into other things. (more money more reliable power)

Come out to the next hill climb and have a word to me, Just taken an rb26 out, much more work than a 25.

BTW DIRT, what comes in the rebuild for 3.6+?

that would be great mate whens the next one on?? yeah i was thinking of doing things myself but my skills/knowledge set it limited, haha should drop a 26 in mine and be done with it, lol

at the end of the day i dont want massive power figures i want an engine/car that i know no matter how hard i drive it (besides whipping off road) i cant do any harm to it

Ask Duncan. There is NO engine that can not be killed.

[INVRTD]

hahah how many duncan gone through a few i take it, haha, well i mean one that if i drive right and do all the right things and not run her at 100 or 120% of her ability i will minimize greatly the risk of damage

The next hill climb is on the 13th. i have put in my entry so i will be attending.

Plus depending on what parts dirtgarage/ others have up for rebuild i might have some useful stuff left over from mine.

Rods (would need to be crack tested). and some other stuff.

[INVRTD]

sweet, hahaha im in vic that weekend, ill have to see you at the next one, that would be cool,

i hear you replace a sh))te load of stuff in yours ??

[BNR32t]

lol yeah, Costed way to much.... I want to replace everything now.

My mistake was leaving the crank standard.

[INVRTD]
