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

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
