    Rb25det Neo Conversion Into Fairmont

    in Western Australia

    Posted

    if you going to go ahead with it, prehaps buying a bare rb25 block would be a good starting point (1 that needs a rebuild). this way its a lot lighter then the whole engine, and will make it easier to acess where the mounts will have to bolt up and will be able to line up the gearbox etc as well.

    Prob think its a waste of money buying that then the whole engine, but i would think this would help solve alot of problems.

    Just a thought since ur pretty certain of going ahead with it.

    $10,000 What Would U Do?

    It all depends on what you want out of ur engine doesnt it.

    FMIC

    Pod (CAI + Heatshield as well)

    EBC

    PFC or aftermarker managment perhaps

    Upgraded Clutch for power increase

    Fuel Pump

    Injectors

    Turbo (perhaps 2540 or 3037)

    Headgasket

    Forged Pistons if u wanted.

    ** tune for the above parts ** $$

    What about suspension and brakes though.

    Perhaps new rotors / pads

    Coilovers or replace worn out componets at least.

    Prob more you can do.. but not to much money left after that i would imagine.

    Forged Internals...

    ah headgasket would be a major one, also new ARP headbolts, mainbolts

    if ur gonna do that much work, then getting the crank shotpeened and a good look over wouldnt go astray either.

    Its extra money, but if ur gonna go the whole hog, then wouldnt getting some sort of porting done to the exhaust and inlet be an idea as well.

    You can get Pistons and rings in a Kit, ACL do this (fogies)

    the conrods come by them selves, usually with ARP2000 bolts.

    You can get Cams and gears in a package buy, just have to look around but make sure u get the correct cams to suit ur needs.

    to be exact, its called a 'DEICER'

    it heats up the front window so it doesnt freeze when it has been snowing, and allows the wipers to remove the ice from the front windscreen easier. it also has a 15min timer, which automatically turns off after this time.

    A non-turbo car does not use a intercooler.

    We all have to start somewhere mate, most of the ppl on here unless from a mechanical background or with ppl to ask wouldnt of know what alot of things were or ment when they first started out. Its what being a car enthuisist is all about, its all a learning curve.

    as the old saying goes, ' There is no such thing as a dumb question '

    Also with a pod filter, its always best to try and enclose it, so it doesnt suck all the hot air from under the bonnet into the engine. Also try have some sort of cold air coming from outside the car (CAI - Cold Air Intake), as this will aid in actually having the pod filter in the first place.

    Nero Vision 3 on nero 6 or above is prob the best program to use, very easy and does a few extra little features , like menu's and different backgrounds etc.

    Also allows you to join 2 avi's together if you d/l'ed then in 2 parts like quite a few avi's are.
