Definitely throw some forged pistons in there while you have the motor apart, get the rods resized, everything balanced and away you go.

this.

Since you've done so much damage, why don't you just get another neo from a wrecker and go again. It only died because your oil was on the track. I think a neo with a good sump will last for ages. 90% of rb's die from oil starvation of some description, or a bad tune. Don't see too many die from being pushed too far

i would but i cant find any around for a reasonable price... im not paying 2.5-3K for just a motor like some wreckers want,

found a sweet vid from team NZ... has a short clip of me 56 sec in.. shows how i bent rim :S

I'd honestly just save my money, he is only pushing ~300kw with a safe tune. The only time I've ever seen pistons fail is due to a bad tune and detonation which will kill forged pistons as well eventually.

[Simon-S14]

mercuary motorsport proved you can push 700 hp from a stock neo and then subject it to drag racing for a while with their VC commo they built for a customer.. i dare say the rods and pistions are strong things!

i shall start a slow build of another block i have on the side... will get it ready for next year

[Rolls]

Yeah the things that kill RBs are almost always oil related, fix that and you'll have a very reliable motor, nissan knew how to build them better than a lot of builders out there. I'd trust some guy that built 20 motor a day for years over some muppet that takes your $10k of parts and gets the clearances wrong.

contact spool imports, awhile back they had a built rb30 block with minimal KM already modified to fit a rb25 neo head for sale on their website.

might be a good for you

Be $$ no doubt though.

[dori34]

it was around 3k,

i only saw it after my block was built, i was kicking myself after.

[Rolls]

I have a forged r33 25 bottom end for $1k for sale, but no one wants it.

Even comes with 7000kms run in and $5k of receipts.

[dori34]

now thats cheap...

im sure someone would buy it, i know i would if i had a 33

[Simon-S14]

lol wish u pm'd me about the bottom end.. i would have snapped it up. but now ive gone and spent money fixing mine

I didn't think you could use it with a neo?

[Simon-S14]

i would have found a way to make it work lol.

well good news anyway i got my new crank tested, fitted with crank collar, ACL race mains and big end bearings supplied, and maching of crank for 400... not a bad price! just need to re-assy. check tolerances and then put it back together
