With the new built RB25 engine are you changing any of the bolt ons like turbo etc? Also I gather this is more of a drag car then track why did you stick with the RB25 instead of building a RB30 which imo would be better suited to drag only

well really just personal Perference :happy:

The rb30 doesnt rev bla bla bla

And the Fact that you carnt run the VCT oil pressure as im Experiementing with this on my ecu

I pefer to keep it all Skyline Minus the Box 2 which is a 2 speed powerglide now and the only reason why i went to the two speed is the Way the transbrake releases doesnt get the wheels in a tyre shake causing wheel spin like the 3 ,4 speed boxes caused by the High 1`st gear.

Isn't the R31 RB30 power classed as a skyline?

As you can see this Cylinder Was the Problem As its the One that lost Comp

No 6

And you blew the head gasket on 5 too.

Plus the pistons in the above photos do look sus. sure they have carbon build up which is normal but what about the marks on the inlet side?

The bottom end is on the floor still together if someone wants to come pull it apart for me

Seeing everyone can say im sus and they dont even know what the Difference is between a Forged and Cast piston is or looks like

Like i said Come pull it apart if you want i dont care im stick of this already

SUSSS ....pfffttt

And how can you tell me the no 5 Was low on comp too

I did a COMP test to Test them out to see which one had the problem and it was NO 6

no other Cylinders

good work mate sounds like the slanging matches are starting from the keyboard mechanics again. didnt u know they are all expert tuners.... in there dreams??? :) number 5 exhuast valves and spark plug do look pretty off colour compared to the others though.

im just wondering why u would go for a n1 oil pump on an engine u said is rated for 1200hp??? i thought the n1 oil pumps were rated to no where near that?

im not having a go like all these other members im just wondering thats all...

thanks

Nah its ok

The 1200 hp motor is another Engine from Japan

This engine is the other engine i had for this car

the 1200 hp engine is for my Chassis car im building

And how can you tell me the no 5 Was low on comp too

Hey mate don't get me wrong. I agree with you. The pistons are cast. I just noticed the marks and wondered what it may have been caused by. I went back and read the whole thread and realized what all this crap is about. I say good on you.

People tell me nearly every day, why bother with an RB20? I am making 260rwkw outta mine and there is definately more to come...everyone discounts them and says "Why not just put in an RB25 and make some real power?" Well screw that, easy way out.

Good on you and all you have done. Keep doing it and shove it in people's faces.

And R31NISMOID.....You keep going on about reliability? WTF You of all people I didn't think I would have to say this....read the topic title!

He has made no claim to reliability but seems to me you are almost eating your words....look how long it has lasted. Now maybe people won't be so scared to crack 300rwkw on their 25.

well said :)

people always focus on the negatives rather than saying good on ya for trying. its more like "its gonna blow in 2 minutes, or why not just get a 26" is the usual comments. i notice the ones slaggin him in the first page havent come on and said f**k all now :)

wait wait its been 24hrs since you've posted a pic or quoted your power figure, are you feeling sick? :D

It's like commodore and falcon drivers.....they only get cut and abuse you because you hand their arse to them without even trying.

Half the people on here can pull their head in. The whole point of this thread was to see the maximum hp that could be made out of the RB25 before it went pop. Any disbelievers were invited to pay for a stripdown. There is no harm in doing research like this if you have the money and time. I'd get an attitude too if every second know-it-all put his 2 cents in about crap that didn't even relate to the topic's title. Or people who only comment because they are scared of what they don't know.

So 4 percent more fuel for no 6, the extra heat in that area would be my concern, as to my noobie thinking it has affected no 5 as well?

yeah rusted valve and plug tip would most likely indicate a water leak on that cylinder. There is also some discolouration on the gaskets mating surface between the bore and water jacket.

Mate all i gotta say is Thankyou

And yeah it did last over 7 months or so and for a $1500 engine im sure i carnt complain.My other engine is almost ready just putting the manifolds and so on hopefully can start running it in 2morrow Night and have it ready for Wenesday if not hopefully Sat if im Allowed to Enter if its not to late or next wenesday worst case

That engine should at least run 100 WRHP more with the Cams,More Boost & c16 and make more torque.Im hoping anyway as long as its making around 620 WRHP with nitrous i dont care as that should run Low 9`s

You sir, are turning into someone who makes more ill informed posts by the day

After all the Motor Has been through i can say that it is possible to Make 470 RWHP safely on a Street RB25 Standard motor and make it last on Pump Fuel.

So if he busted a motor running 470rwhp

Without modifying the tune i have made 477 WRHP with the auto on just 18 psi Boost

Before the auto i was making on average 500 RWHP on 18 psi of boost on pump fuel

How can the claim be made that its reliable? I simply dont accept that, and i would hate for someone else to think that its ok, and then cost themself a motor they didnt allow for.

I think you are the person who needs to eat his your words, considering they are ill informed.

I suggest you stop trying to discredit me and focus on learning something, as there is a plenty.

Full credit to Jason, its been an interesting thread and the car has done a lot on a stock motor.

But i dont believe the reliablity claims that were, and are being made as to date, all thats proven is it cant be done.

The only reason why something went wrong is i tried pumping more boost into it

if i left it it would of lasted it went fine till now until that

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
