Hey guys, have decided to do an rb25/30 and put it in my r32.

Here what I have planned so far:

Head port and polish

Adjustable cam gears

Not sure on head gasket at the moment

Probably 700cc minimum injectors

Cp pistons cr 9.1:0

Spool rods

Acl race series bearings

Arp head stud bolts

Rb30 water pump

Rb26 oil pump or nitto (if it doesnt cost an arm and a leg)

Gt35/40 .82r

38mm wastgate and screamer pipe

Acid dip, cracktest etc for block and head

Balance etc crankshaft

Not sure what computer to use

Any other HELPFUL information would be muchly appreciated

P. S hoping for at least 350rwkw

Nistune, PFC or Link/Vipec will all do.

Check the RB30 dyno results thread to see if 38mm wastegate will be big enough.

Screamer pipe is illegal most places.

Make sure you enable VCT

If you're going to track it get a bigger & baffled sump.

Ported head not really needed, could spend the money elsewhere.

9.0:1 Cps are a custom piston and will need to be ordered.

I think the 38mm gate will be too small, safe bet is a Tial 44mm.

Dont worry about cam gears either. Just stick with VCT.

If E85 is an option id say 1000cc injectors would be ideal. I have a set for sale if you are interested.

I assume you have not contacted anyone to do the work for you yet as most of your questions would have been answered already.

Ok thanks guys, I'm going to get at least a 44mm wastegate now. And yes I'm going to keep the VCT so yer the cam gears are now off the list. No head work lol and I'll look Round And research about the computer. Ok thanks for the advice about the injectors as well, I will def be going bigger now. Yer the pistons I'm going to get through spool imports. No I haven't contacted anyone yet, that's on my list of things to do this week. Any recommendations for places in or around Ipswich?

Signature Performance is in Ipswich from memory, and the have a bloody quick R33 gtst

As Dave said, Ported head is not really needed, depends on how much over 350rwkws you want.

The standard head and cams are good for around 370-380rwks

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
