Hi guys just a quick what is the most power you can get from a 2.5 neo engine from the skyline 25gt without going turbo or supercharged and what would kind of price Range are you looking at?
Is it possible to get around 300hp ?

If you don't mind spending about 20k on building an engine and then rebuilding it at every oil change then you might get 300hp. But it will drive like crap, use heaps of fuel and be exceptionally unreliable.

Should just by a magna ey Marc ;)

But yer not a hope of going 300hp (even at the flywheel), would need massive compression, huge cams, itbs.... Although, I shot of giggle gas would liven that boiled egg of an engine up :)

300hp is equal to 220kw, something which not even a stock r34 gt-turbo makes.

Anyways that being said, If you are keen on dishing out 5k+ some guy posted on youtube of his n/a r33. Got 140rwkw out of a N/a, which equates to around 200hp at the wheels.
Initially it was making 92rwkw, so considering its 140kw at the fly from facotry it should be: 140-96= 44kw. 140+44 = 184kw at the fly which is 250hp once modded. So if you spend 5k you can get 250hp, not impossible :P

He lists his mods in the description:

Up until the ferarri 458 came out, the F20C in the Honda s2000 was the most powerful naturally aspirated engine per litre in a car and that made approximately 124hp at the flywheel per litre. 248hp with 2.0L . The F20C is a supremely different engine to the Rb25de. the Rb25de was not made for power, that's what the Rb25det was for.

Is it possible to make 300hp from a smaller capacity N/A engine? Yes. Is it possible to make 300hp from an rb25de? Possibly. Can do you it for less then you'd make 500kw from an rb25det? No.

It's definitely not worth you time or money.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
