Hi Guys haven't been on here for some time but I am looking at rebuilding my RB25Det in the R33.
as I have low compression in one of the cylinders.

looking at going the forged path..... motor was making close to 300rwkw on the standard motor with the other mods.
(450hp Garrett BB turbo, Nismo 555 injectors, cams, Altronic ecu, large exhaust & FMIC)

Is there any good places or websites to buy parts for a forged rebuild or kit?

  • Forged H Beam Conrods
  • Forged Pistons
  • Head Gasket
  • ACL Race Series Main Bearings
  • ACL Race Series Main Bearings
  • ARP stud kit
  • Gasket kit

    Will get the block machined, what else will be needed?
    the car is street driven (weekends), might a track day in the future.

I have a stock motor that goes to the track every 2 months or so making well over 300kW and it gets the shit thrashed out of it.

Best move for you, install a stock RB25DET NEO motor, a GTX3576, twin gates, twin screamers and spend the change on cocaine and strippers.

research:

stock RB25DET NEO

ARP headstuds

E85

1150cc or 2200 Injectors

Walbro E85 450L pump by TI Automotive

Continental Flex sensor

Adaptronic/Haltech/Nistune (R35 / HPX AFM if going Nistune)/ViPec or whatever makes you hard

Anything billet turbo, such as Hypergear SS2

Great guys to deal with, maybe not the cheapest around but quick delivery, can return unused parts, and he will order in anything specific if he doesn't have it.

Check out his Facebook page, often does nice giveaways and he actually has a few nice random shop cars aswell

I got all my bits from CJ motors, give them a call and see what they can offer.

To run big boost, I recommend a set of Super tech valve springs and valve sets.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
