I don't know how many of you skyline nuts would know this , But the 2.8 Turbo diesel Patrol shares the same bottom end and gearbox and bolts directly onto the engine mounts and straight into the box , And my 2.8 has 250,000 on the clock and runs 16 psi of boost and a diesel chip , and they generally don't last that long . So i'm thinking of chucking a NEO into the Troll . Can you guy's help my out with a fuel pump , injectors , turbo , Ecu and so fourth. I'm looking to make 300 - 350 ponies on 33's and 2.2 Tons of truck , who can help me? And approx pricing?

I see this is your very first post on SAU - welcome.

You will be quickly advised to search the forum.

Here's a helping hand to discussion on the same subject:

You want a 30 bottom end, you do.

The extra capacity will be well worth it in a 2 ton plus rig.

Even with the low gearing etc, i would have to agree here!

25/30 for you!

If you had to engineer it I'd do an RB30ET to get the numbers right , actually I think pov pak GQ STs had an RB30S (NA carby) std .

Anyway with an RB30ET you get to have an Australian legal engine option - and then if one morning you woke up and found it'd grown a twin cam head in the night - whos to know ? Engine number stays the same .

You're talking about a truck thats 800 Kg more than a 1400 kg R33 Skyline so every low down Nm of torque is a god send

A .

So obviously I'm a noob to this skyline stuff (God forbid I drive a 2012 lancer daily :0 ) , so does the 30 bottom end just bolt straight into the 25's head ? But I keep all the top end accessorys from the 25 ?

Not exactly that easy! There is a whole section dedicated to that topic i believe! If its not something you are familiar with i dont recommend you have a go!

I've helped mates with multiple engine swaps , from blown 3.0Ls to 4.2s , rb30 carby into an rb30 from a Vl with the turbo , up to 6.0L Vortects into a shorty patrol , I have the mechanical no how , just not the Rb series knowledge hah.

Its not likely to be a straight swap, that is what i meant :)

Ye hah :D , the Rb series seems so swap and play honestly it's ridiculous , but honestly I think I'll keep it simple honestly , all rb25 neo , but a bigger fuel pump and injectors and turbo when it needs it , 90% of my 4wding is sand dunes honestly , we don't have any steep rock tracks or anything hah. Limiter bashing up dunes at night time in a huge sand bowl with 20 cars is about it ;)

RB's do not like prolonged limiter bashing :P

Aww :( only on special occasions then! Do you know what turbo would be ideal for 300 horses and early spool? And what size injectors?

Oh dear... This has been covered SO many times that i dont know what answer to give you lol...

High flow and a set of 1000s cheapies will do it!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
