Hey guys,

Eventually i'll be starting my R32 project car. I'm just researching all my options before i go ahead with it.

I'm trying to decide what motor to use. I'd be looking at around maybe 400-500kw mark. But i don't know whether to go:

- Crazy RB25DET

- RB26DETT

- RB25/30

- RB26/30

- RB30DETT

Who's had experience with these motors? What would be the easiest to get that sort of power out of? What would be the most reliable?

Thanks

Nick

Maybe you should state your budget so you get better answers

i don't have a budget yet...i don't even have the car at the moment. This is merely research. but for example if the 26/30 is the best option i'll budget for that. if the 30 is better i'll budget for that. It'll be a very long term project

for that sort of power you're talking BIG money, so reliability shouldn't be too much of a factor, as you'll have to rebuild the entire thing.

What do you plan on using the car for?

If you're going to be spending massive coin, why not go for something a bit individual? I read of a TT LS3 R34 awhile back, putting out some huge numbers.

you mean this one?

I would possibly lean towards an LS series engine...but i would prefer an RB i think

lol, 400 to 500rwkw is a big difference is drivability and cost

My advice? R32 GTST, strip it bare, get the rust out, only put in the parts that are required to make it move and get rego, rb26, eagle rods, cp pistons, jun pump and crank snout, n1 water pump, surge tank with 044, decent valve springs, clean up of head, big cams, to4z for big power or r34 n1's for response, nismo twin plate clutch

Then lots of fuel and tyres.

Easy

400 is my main aim....but if i get to 500 i'll be happy.

Lets just say 450 to be safe lol

I'm still undecided whether to go GTR or GTST too..i'm thinking gtst tho but i'm not sure. mite have that as the power car..and just have a stock gtr maybe...if i'm made of money by that stage :cool:

I want at least 400 as i said..would the N1's get me there? Would i need something bigger?

      I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
