hi guys just been thinking about doing a 25/30...if i do it. it will look just like a stock 25( i here you ask way would you) will some of you know i have a GQ patrol with a RB25DET in it but off road its not the best i need more low down which the 30 will give

so will the Stock bottom end of the 30 hold up to at least 15PSI???

if i put the 25 head on it the compression will drop. how do i get it back up to 9.1? what pistions need to be used?

can you still run the oil sqirters?

do you need to fit the knock sensors in to the RB30??? if not i want to anyway...

can i use my RB25 water pump??

what oil pump

and do you think it is a good idea to fit oil ristrictors??

pics of build up would help

all the information you need is in this section already.

boost depends on which turbo

theres aftermarket pistons to suit 9:1 30det, have a search

dont need oil squirters

fit the knock sensors, they bolt straight up

25 oil and water pumps will be fine

you must fit some sort of restrictors, the standard 30 feeds are too big for the 25 head. the size depends on oil pump, use of the motor, what you do with vct etc

the turbo will be the stock one hiflowed or the next turbo up

oil pump i was going to use is the stock RB25 one

why not dont you need oil squirters

block will hold fine then at any normal boost level

stock 25 pump will work fine

oil squirters can be a good idea but they're not needed to keep a 30 alive and they're not worth the effort required to fit them, plenty of high hp 30s with no squirters around with no issues

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
