ok I spoke to a guy in qld how has done this N/a like you want

couple of issues

you use the the rb25 de pistons as they fit and you get 10.5 to 1 compression nice and you need you set up an oil line for the vvt to work when you get closer I'll mail him

read this and you could pm him

he reckons its very nice and smooth good luck with it I think it will rock you might get a surprise and find some real power.

Meggala,

Is that Skyline bit in your sig off an R31 that had like 2 kms on the clock? I think I saw that in a Geoff Risbey email. Very strange it was. The text was pretty funny from memory. Can you refresh my memory - I can't remember what it actually said though.

meggala - i was under the impression us rb25de boys wont need the oil feed as we already have it?? or is it that the rb30 block does not have the line where as the rb25 block does? i gotta pm rb30-zed and ask him more...engine management looks tricky too. he's using a delco ecu (from holdens, etc...) don't know how this would affect abs/4wd/auto ect...

sounds interesting.

i emailed steve the guy with the rb30de - and the conversion is apparently "quite simple" :(

Hi there Virantha,

I live up in Wollongong NSW, let me know if you are passing one day.

the converion would be simple on your car, but things to keep in mind are :

* the RB30 block is about 40mm taller than your block so you will have to

look at clearance between th throttle body and the bonnet.

* your RB25 block has a internal oil supply to the VVT and the 30 has not,

so you will have to run a external oil line to the passage way in the head

and seel off the lower part of the passage way to stop oil getting back to

the water passage, have a look at the photos of the head at

http:/au.photos.yahoo.com/arkij60

Also are you sure that your compression ratio is 10.5:1 as my RB30 block

with RB25 pistons and head give me 10.5:1, if you are 10.5:1 now and do this

converion with your old pistons it would be about 12:1

I think your motor would be 9:1 now. But ever wat another 500cc makes a big

difference.

The reason i used the Delco system is that it was running my older L28

engine and is a very good system.

What do you think of the RB25 engine?

Steven

hmmmm - gotta check the clearance for the extra 4cm...

i was under the impression that if you do change the bottom end of an engine - you don't change the compression?? ie it would remain at 10.5?

i don't see why the turbo boys can't do this too! - rb30det :D

this mod would ROCK - and keep the insurers happy...

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)

      You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
