who the f**k said too much power? power was the same to within 5kw between our cars, his was all in by like 2000 RPM doe...

people underestimate just how much extra displacement that 0.5l is... it's 20%

For me I'll be simulating my litre motorbike, which just had oodles of power everywhere, but most importantly in the low and mid range where big bore short stroke engines usually suffer

And for that matter it's pretty much the same discussion as 600s versus 1000s - they both fast as each other when they are on song and most people can ride a 600 better than they can ride a 1000. But on the road, in traffic, in higher gears, that low end torque is blissfully awesome!

I'd also rather be able to boost in 4th and 5th at cruising RPMs

But yeah we'll see

An interesting dyno graph it will make

Old mate from facey pm'd me about that forged RB26...it's a brand new rebuild with receipts...could be tempted if it saves me a few grand on the RIPS VL. Will see what's wrong with current RB first.

Just put 20w/50 oil in and she'll be right.

receipts for the $350 pistons... great...

Tell Chris to check his emails!

Previous owner has had it running with the knocking, you've driven it with the knocking. High chance that the crank can't be salvaged. Sure, it could be... but theres definitely better odds that it won't be!

Guess I'm hoping for the chance it's something in the valve train like a bent valve or something.

Will also give a chance to suss out anything else I need to acquire, like a new head for example.

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
