Recommended Posts

im new to these forums so im asuming im in the right section if not could a mod move this thred to the right one. im from NS.com and they are aboubroad minded persone gurus with CA's and SR's but not very bright (IMO) on the RB25det motor and if i post this thred on NS they will tell me to come here and ask, so i thought il save abit of time and come here first.

*note these are all future plans as i am currently on my P's

and plan on having a reliable 300kw daily with a few track days every now and then, this thred is focusing on engine so dont tell me about driveline

RB25det (model undecided just know im not geting a neo)

z32 afm

power fc djetro

splitfire coil packs

fmic

discoe potatoe? t3/4?, GT35? or any other u might suggest for what i plan, dont care if its a high mount or a low mount turbo as the engine will be roughly a 2 year project itself (plan on putting engine in when off P's)

264 cams intake and exhaust

remove VCT (if it has it still on)

rods?

gasket?

700cc injectors

fuel pump and reg

oil pump and cooler

and 3'' turbo back

*is the stock throttle body worth boring out or am i beter of buy like a after market 80mm

cant realy think of anything else, i know im probly missing a shat load of parts but its 3am and cant realy think of anything else that i might need.

Welcome... The NS.Com guys are right to send you here...

I think you need to do a lot more searching/reading however, as basically there is nothing 'basic' that hasnt been covered or touched on in fairly good detail when it comes to RB25's and under 300rwkw.

Some threads to get you started

Also have a read of the Dyno Sticky in this section:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...yno-t55845.html

End of the day however it think you should stick with the SR, as your Victorian so there is all sorts of legal issues you'll have to contend with the more you modify, the harder it is.

:) a RB owner telling me to go SR

the CA motor was engineered by nissan and the RB motor was designed off it or other way round cant remember

the SR motor is from a tractor (seriously)

and 300kw@w is a bare minimum i want from that motor and i want it as a daily so need to be bullet proof just not a shot in my pocket

Im Melb also, and im well across legalities after my many different conversions, setups and so on.

SR is simply easier to keep on the street.

Either way, do what you want, ive linked you to the threads you need to read on the topic.

You just need to come up with the $25,000 to get it done now.

Z32 + D jetro doesnt work because djetro is speed density (MAFless) and you will need to use a rb26dett PFC djetro if your gonna go that way as there are no rb25 ones.

if 300rwkw is a bare minimum than budget for a full rebuild, cams arnt necessary.

and to be honest if you deadset on a RB conversion id just go straight to the RB26 as it would be cheaper in the long run to get the power your after.

Nismoid.... just wondering, what are the legality issues regarding a rb26DETT (from a 33GTR) into a 33 GTSt. Is it ok if the motor is newer than the age of the body its going into or do you need engineering certificates?

Was discussing this with my mate the other day but neither of us was sure

300kw with reliability from an SR Ash, we all know thats going to be pretty street un-friendly, track un-friendly and pocket draining.

Why would you want more than 300 anyway? In a pissy little Silvia its heaps of power. Especially for drift if thats what you mean about track days.

A Standard RB25 with cams and a 3071R would be plenty. You dont need a huge peak figure, midrange is what you want for street and drift.

Be a man and go the conversion, maybe consider an Engineers Certificate, if you dont have the money prepare for the car to be taken off the road.

Ive got a RB26 in my HR31 - its very easy, easier in a GTS-t actually than my car (due to brakes, gearboxes etc etc, all of which i have upgraded, but if i didnt it would have been a no-no).

RB26 for a R33 is a good choice, but not one for the person on a budget... RB26's cost money if you chase power, same as RB25's i guess but to keep a RB26 legal-ish and chase power is far easier hence you can make more and overall costs more :)

Well thats what i kinda meant, built a nice 250rwkw SR, light balanced car - love

Making 300kw+ from an rb with mods like an aftermarket ecu, fuel system, gt35, cams, coils ect,ect is a walk in the park throw in a set of rods and pistons and it becomes relaible, honestly though if i only wanted 'street' power i wouldn't want any more than say 250rwkw it is plenty for the street..

when i say track days i mean like time trials and circuit

just because i have a silvia dont asume im D1 mang

im more into drags and dyno's then drifting

    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
    • those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done 
    • Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
