Rb25/30

[caminperth]

Has anyone in Perth built a RB25/30 or had one built for them? Is there anyone running one in an R33 at the moment who could take me out for a ride? I have suspected broken ring lands and am wanting to look at options outside of the norm.

let me see if I can find his web site

Yeah, thats me. Hasn't been updated in a while because its still not bloody finished! Whats your budget like cam?

[Boostzor]

And forget ye not the time frame.

You know that scene from total recall? "two weeks, twoo weeks, twoooo WEEKS TWO WEEKS!!!!" lol

Making that evil rattling sound is it cam.

Joe - thanks for the link.

Gradenko - budget, not sure yet? Care to throw some figures at me? Was thinking of keeping the same head/intake/exhaust/turbo setup if I can.

Boost - I'm aware of the time factor and for that reason (and cause I'm lazy) might end up getting a workshop to do it. Rattling - nowhere near that yet, just drinking the odd bit of oil at the moment. Not a huge thing as I'm hardly driving it.

Just wanting to actually see what one goes like.

$5k minimum for a basic rebuild. $7kish using forged pistons, arp bolted bottem end and standard rods shot peened. + extra for head porting, ecu, manifold, plenum, turbo, fueling, etc. But you already know that

Just wanting to actually see what one goes like.

Let you know in a month or so.

$5k min? Hmm. A bit more than what I was thinking - not too much more, but a bit. Is that using a new block? Do you mind PMing me the price breakdown if you have it?

Cam

That doesn't include the price of the new block but it does include the price of a 2nd hand block (which i needed for the crank and rods).

I'll pm you details when I get home. Good luck with whatever you choose.

[caminperth]

Thanks mate. I appreciate it.

i know of someone with a 30/25 combo... just not in a 33...

[N I B]

There is Forged pistons and rods ready of the shelf for this job now so the cost has come down a lot for for this combo.Mat smiths power and torque curve is crazy with this setup making for a very fast but highly drivable combo.

[R31Nismoid]

an option could be sell your car...

and buy one of the Vic guys car... its been running strong for 3 or 4 years as it is now.

Its an insane ride i can tell you

[caminperth]

teejay - would like to see the results. Are they on this forum?

Steve - long time no chat. Hope all is well. Who/where is the combo available from?

R31 - looks like a mint car, but wouldn't be able to get enough for mine to buy it.

Whole thing is at inquiry stage at this point - hence me wanting to have a chat to some people with experience in it.

Is that the one that recently came out of per4manz? Heard good things about that too.

[B0BB0]

when u come to your budget, double it and add abit more, thats how modified cars work, hahah. i know some one who just got a motor built with pistons and gtr rods, and studs, pm me if u want to know more.

Another thing, is becareful who does the work on your car. i strongly advise to use one of the 2 workshops. A) Hyperdrive B) Xspeed. they are the most suited to the job if you ask me,

Cam, give hyperdrive a call, i remember talking to ken and he was telling me how they were going to built this as i type of demo car when hyperdrive 1st started dont know if it happened or not

480 rwhp with twin 2530's . autronic ecu and the usual support systems

[32vspecII]

every time i talk to lumpy about an rb25/30 hes not very keen on the idea .....

[teejay]

different strokes for different folks

i personally didnt think the non revving nature of a rb30 would be any fun

but i was wrong, and its become a more and more popular idea... got to be some reasoning in that.

your on boost so much earlier then any other rb combo

ive been in a gtr with twin 2530's and its not even close boost response wise
