cheers

About $150. Wrecker bottom end $50, head gasket $50, timing belt $50. With a good tune a stock bettom end is good for 300rwkw

dont forget the head as well

[Kranker]

I assume adriano was implying that you use what ever head ur currently running in ur skyline

So no additional cost for the head

It would be legendary to see someone do a $150 rebuild and thrash the guts out of the thing, brilliant value

its already been done. from memory they did the whole conversion for $1000 you need to use the R32 RB25DE head if you want it to be a cheap bolt off bolt on affair. the R33 head will require modification to work.

ok ive done it

wrecker bottom end $50

timming belt $55

head gasket (reused a comeic we had laying around)

vvt line $90

labour (free im a mehanic and case for the boys for helping)

bolted all the accessries on which includes a massive turbo

end results 560hp at the wheels on 19psi the car has raced and run 5x10sec passes and over 100 dyno passes it has aslo done about 3000km of street driving. you cant beat bn rb30 for value

[Nic19]

thats awesome. so wat comp ratio does a stock rb30e bottom end with an rb25 head give you?

[Kranker]

from the rb30 guide

Rb30e bottom end with rb25 (not neo) gives ~8.2:1 comp ratio

Well bugger me! I have had a series 2 RB30e block in the shed for about 4 years, wanting to do this project..

What stopped me was I was going to add new pistons and rods.. Looks like I'm about to get busey!

I have an R33, have big turbo, have apexi have $700 in the bank!.. hmmm.. Thanks for the inspiration guys!

I will go chat with my mechanic mate on monday.

ohh, will the stock intake manifold hit the bonnet? I know this is probably covered somewhere, so can somebody give me a link or thread to go and inspire me and my mate a little further?

Thanks

[psi]

dohoo, found the thread! sorry guys. More inspiration than ever!

I seem to have got some more Q'snow than when I started..

Will read on.. My eyes hurt! lol
