Engine Rebuild

[JustinP]

My engine died in my R34 GTT a while back and it has been sitting in my garage for too long. The plan was my dad and I would pull it out and rebuild it.

Could someone please recommend some good engine builders in Perth? I would like to at least have a talk to someone with lots of knowledge on these engines before we begin. Part of me cant be bothered and I am thinking of paying someone to do it.

Also, would anyone recommend I stick a RB30 bottom end on it? How much higher up would the engine be?

Current engine modifications are PowerFC and PowerFC boost controller, split dump pipe, high flow cat and 3" exhaust, and ARC front mount IC.

the rb30 will sit about 40mm higher.. see the following link. it shows the difference between rb26 and rb30 in a 32gtr to give you a visual idea of what to expect.

as to which engine really depends how much you want to spend and what sort of power do you want to make. the 25 is a good motor but the rb30 will produce significantly more torque across the range. when you go down the rb30 road make sure you well educate yourself on your options e.g how much power do i want to make? what turbo will best accomplish this? what size injectors, fuel pump etc etc.. set yourself some goals and then investigate how to best achieve them. theres an rb30 section on this site, an absolute wealth of information there so make use of it

how did it die? if the heads still good just throw on a 30 block and away you go. cheap and easy
