The Death And Birth Of My Rb30 25Neo

[bokee]

Ah ok cool I'm goin to get 9:1 cp on 98 fuel for my RB25/30

yeah spool has either 9:1 or 8.2 with r33 head but it does change with 34 head as it has a smaller combustion chamber

[bokee]

Looking good, I am going to watch with most interest.

That turbo I bought off of you a few years ago is still going well , absolutely love it.

yeah i am a bit excited about the build, i would have done a much bigger engine set up but this came at the wrong time as am getting married later this year so yeah dont want to spend that much money but just something that would be reasonably safe for 400kw mark,

am glad turbo is still going good, they are absolutelly amazing turbos and the new gtx are even better,

morie from HP in a box has told me u had a bit of a tough time too with the engine but glad everythings alrite now

For the Block, Crank, Rod and Piston machine work was roughly $3k

$3K OH OK i didnt think it costs that much but i guess they did everything so it may all add up bit by bit

HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS, well it felt like christmas today i got my engine rebuild kit pistons, rods, bearings, headgasket thanks to

Brad from spool imports he has been a great help and sent them over fast

If i am lucky 2mrrow ill go and drop my head, block, crank, rods, pistons for a 20thou bore and hone, clean, balance, facing off the block and head for a perfect gasket fitment etc etc.

here are some photos

[bokee]

well yesterday i dropped my head, block, pistons, rods, crank, clutch+flywheel, harmonic balancer all to be cleaned and balanced at

ADVANCED ENGINE RECONDITIONERS in salsbury

- block is going to receive a deep clean paint, dirt etc etc

- will also deck the block 2 or 3 thou

- Bore and hone 20thou

- Balance everything

- crank is going to be machined and a crank collar is going to be fitted

- Head is going to be cleaned and faced

should be all done by the end of next week

I also bought a new rb30 water pump, sump gasket, manifold gasket and few other things.

So while all that is being done i sandblasted my turbo compressor housings and my engine mounts.

i also cleaned out and painted alternator, starter motor. and exhaust manifoild in heat proof paint

the paint is fresh thats y it may look a bit funny

compressor housing sandblasted looks better than black

all assembled ready for 25psi of boost

now we just play a waiting game for the block and all

[MRHD66]

Looking good mate

[Manuel Kasko]

Good work and congrats on the build and marriage

[bokee]

hey guys just a bit of an update, i got my block and other bits back from the machine shop today here are some photos

crank collar fitted

balanced and polished

head was faced for perfect gasket seal

block bored, honed and decked

pistons just test fitted looks good so far

cbf to mask everything properly so i just used 10c and 20c pieces to mask off the wels plugs lol

[bokee]

i know i havent been realy updating so often but the engine will be put together sometime either this week or next week, was waiting for the oil pump to come then wrong pump sent arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so frustrated at the moment cos i just get empty promisses of people that will suply me with parts f*#$ really shits me, at the end ill just end up going with a standard rb26 pump and upgraded gears cos i cant be stuffed waiting no more, i really need to get the car on the road.

[bokee]
