forgot to mention im from south africa.want to do a rb25/30 at a latre stage.whats the difference between a r33 rb25de and arb25de neo.from what i've read the neo got smaller combustion chambers then the r33 rb25de so the comp should be high enough if you use the rb25 neo pistons

was thinking of doing that.how hard is it to fit a vh45 in a r33.i've read john's thread bt it dnt say if he had to mod a few things to fit it n most info u get is how to fit it into 300 zx n s13/14s n not much into skylines

It would be a pretty similar affair. Should be easier than a Silvia I would think as the bay would be bigger to start with.

should be an awesome car seeing what john done with his one but back to topic can my rb20e ecu run a rb30e.i'll be using everything on the rb20,inlet manifold,injectors,dissy and the exhaust manifold.i think it would run fine.im mostly after the extra touque of the rb30 till i upgrade later.

i think it should cz the rb30 in south african r31s ran with 21 deg timing.dnt knw if the injectors are the same size.it mite pick up a few extra kw cz the r33 rb20 inlet manifold seem to have bigger runners then the rb 30

Ive got an rb30e in my r33 and it smashes the pants off rb25de`s

the torque is good. Not so great on fuel tho

Engine mounts will be the same as the difference is in the block height

in terms of managment its best to use an rb30e loom and re wire it to suit the r33

Ebay has some cheap turbo kita for rb30e`s if u wanted more power later on

if u are serious pm me and ill send u some pics of my conversion and the wiring

contact nistune in australia who will be able to "chip" your rb20e ecu to run different fuel and timing maps to suit the rb30e.

my rb30 is n.a

basic mods: GTS style extractors 6-2-1, 2.5inch cat back zorst, pod filter, advanced ignition timing running premium fuel.

car has a 4.46:1 LSD, that helps ^.^ i dragged off a WRX to 100 km/h the other night

the car realistically has around 100 rwkw, with a cheap turbo kit it would have close to 170 rwkw

nice.im from south africa so my best bet will be to get a dastek piggyback ecu.currently got a pod n 57mm straight through exhaust with a rear can box.im making 85kw on da wheels.my best 1/4 mile is a 17.5 lol.with 100 on da wheels n more torque i mite get in the 16s

skit it will be hard for me to get the parts.i will be upgrading to a rb30det at a later stage just want sum extra power to move the heavy body.chris how high do u revyour rb30.seeing as the rb20e has a higher rev limiter i'll to let the piggyback ecu limit it to 6100rpm

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
