I am thinking for my next project that I would like to get an old R33 skyline motor that is tires or has been blown a piston etc and complete a full rebuild on the motor etc.

This will be a slow project and as funds allow I will then try to chase up a shell or a cheap skyline to put the motor into.

I would prefer a motor that comes with everything, does anyone know of any?

What is the full potential of these motors? and what sort of power can a standard R33 skyline drivetrain handle?

Thanks.

In any case, the "full potential" of a motor will vary depending on who tunes it, and how much money you have for parts, and development if you're not using an already-proven package. Even then, the actual power you make will vary a little, as no two engines are exactly the same.

If you're talking RB25, Hordcore Performance in QLD have one making 795rwhp (a bit under 600rwkW), I believe it's still 2.5 litres, ie it hasn't been stroked. That's the most powerful one that I am personally aware of, but there are no doubt others. I have no idea what kind of maintenance is required on this car but I'm guessing if something did go bang, that the parts and work required to fix it wouldn't be cheap.

RB26 - well the quickest one is the HKS drag GTR, which apparently puts out something like 1200kW. Completely unrealistic for someone on a limited budget but you did ask lol.

If I were you, I would build an RB30/25, particularly given that you're obviously on a budget of some kind but don't mind if it takes you a while to put together. A search will bring up heaps more details but basically this involves putting an RB25 head on an RB30 bottom end. Apart from giving you an extra 500cc to play with, it also squares the engine (bore/stroke), and RB30 blocks aren't too hard to get hold of. You can use an RB26 head but they cost a lot more.

I am looking for an RB25 DET motor, I have rang all around perth today and I have had no luck in sourcing an old motor!

I am not really on a budget but it is just something I want to do slowly myself, then when ready I will buy a body or a cheapish R33 skyline to transplant the motor into. I dont want to buy a car and have it possibly sitting around for 12 months while I rip the motor out and do what I want to it. I think I would be aiming at around 500 rwkw.

All I want to do at the moment is source a motor to start on my project.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
