Beer can only do so much lol its all the little things that will kill a relatively modest budget on something like this.

RB25/30's are tried and tested and work, i usually go with better the devil you know than the one you don't

Edited by Weapon

I read this as "I've got very little/no money and want 300rwkw from a hybrid motor"

Never, going, to, happen.

By all means though, try and prove us wrong. Start a thread in the projects section once you start.

A realistic approach to this is a stock rb30 bottom end with new bearings, forged pistons, stock oil pump etc and put the 25 head on. If your budget permits at this point get an N1 balancer and away you go. Get it all balanced and assembled by a professional and happy days!

Im using a neo head for my rb30 build

What pistons are people using with the neo head to keep the compression down?

Does anyone know if the standard turbo neo pistons are dished or dome and there CC are

also the same info for rb30et pistons.

I dont really want to go forged but I might have to.

thanks guys for the info

So from what you have said so far you have an R31 with an NA RB30, but in your info it says an R31 with an RB25DET, question is how much power do you have?

If you are still running the NA RB30 or stock RB25 then forget about 300+ rwkw, go with the 25 and aim for 270-280, trust me, i had a fairly stock 25 and was aiming for 300+, had it tuned and hit a wall at 250 but f**k me, 250 is fun and safe on a standard 25 and there will be no f**king around with cross breeding parts that may or may not work well together, stick with the proven path to power its a lot cheaper an easier, on the other hand if you want bragging rights that you have something custom in there then you best start saving lots of money.

As for the bragging rights tho with only 320 my first question (and everyone else i know) would be "why bother".

EDIT

kitty has n00b aids!

Edited by W0rp3D

guys, kitty just bumped this thread and for whatever reason decided to post his [irrelevant to toyotas] question in it lol. That other guy seems to understand now that toyota internals in a RB30 is not the best idea.

kitty, RB25 neo has dome pistons.

heres some of the cars features.

engine an drivetrain-

2jz-gte 350+kw at the wheels tuned and dynod at dobsons dyno tune.

r154 gearbox with alloy bushes.

osgigen push type clutch setup.

sard fuel pressure regulator.

braided fuel lines throughout.

front facing plenum,

stainless headers,

t4 turbo,

link g4 storm.

3 link igniters.

link g4 dispaly dash.

bosch coilpacks located under the dash.

48mm external wastegate.

external fuel pump and surge tank.

3 inch straight through exhaust system.

alloy radiator

inside and outside-

streetpro kits widebody front and rare,

streetpro kits uras body kit with gtr bee*r front bumper.

just been painted inside and out at re automotive.

6 point roll cage.

koya bucket seats.

apexi ajusties

pitty the jz range has 92mm bore spacing and rb has 96.5mm..... same as m104 merc and L series. with a larger gap seperating the first and last 3 cyl.. so unless you get out your metal stamp and punch in 2jz over the rb26 your nowhere.

cheers.

RB30 Forged Flat tops will give you the Comp you want for a nice streeter and RB30ET Pistons if you want very low comp.

Buy some forged Flat tops from Spool etc.

None of the 2JZ parts are directly compatible with any of the RB series nissans. Piston compression height is 2mm too tall, the gudgeons are 22mm, not 21mm. The pistons are dished as well. The conrod length is 10mm shorter than the RB and they are 2mm larger and 3mm wider at the big end. In short, nothing fits. Not even with some massaging.

The idea of pinching some of the dimensions of a 2JZ and using them in an RB is a good one. 2JZ's are built like diesels. There is no cheap way about it though. Its custom all the way for every part you want to use.

I read this as "I've got very little/no money and want 300rwkw from a hybrid motor"

Never, going, to, happen.

Total thread hijack awaits. But I don't think there's enough info on low power hybrid motors.

Is a hybrid motor a reasonable upgrade for someone with little money wanting to make no more than 250rwkw but rather have a better area under the power curve?

If you do the work yourself, and do it right the first time. Mistakes cost money.

A good example of building a cheap hybrid is here:

So it is proven possible. Thanks for the reply GTRNUR. :cheers:

Unfortunately I don't have the tools or knowledge for a rebuild. Otherwise this could have been a great project for me over the university summer holidays. I always hear great things about how these engines drive.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
