RB30DE WITH RB25 5 SPEED

I built this engine in Jan 2004 . RB30E bottom end withRB25DE pistons which gives 10.5 - 1 compression . RB30E extractors modified with new port matched flange plate and 1 x secondary pipe lengthened to suit . It bolts to a standard bolt pattern cat converter .

Serires 1 RB25DE head . V.V.T. connected via oil pressure feed teed from oil pressure sender .

Cams have been reground by Surecam in Sydney 255degrees duration with 8.2 mm lift .

I built the twin throttle body manifold and has RB25DE throttle bodies fitted and 1 x RB25DE air flow meter . The A.F.M. is controlled by an Apexi SAFC 2

Malpassi fuel pressure regulator fitted with50 mm gauge .

RB25DET injectors 370 cc

RB25DE 5 speed gearbox . Steel billet flywheel from the Rodshop in Vic . RB30E turbo clutch and pressure plate and starter motor . Scattershield of 1/4" steel plate around clutch flywheel area .

This is a well sorted combination that idles smoothly at 700 rpm , lots of torque and returns great fuel economy . The oil has been changed every 5000 km and only used Shell synthetic oil ( $ 60 - 5 ltrs )

Comes complete with wiring harness , RB25DE ECU and Apexi SAFC 2 . Also included is a workshop manual for the RB twin cam engines ( cost me about $ 250 ).

I had this setup in my r31 station wagon .

PERFORMANCE

1/4 mile 14.15 @ 97.6 mph 16/8/2006

Max speed 141.18 mph ( 227.2 kmh ) average speed over a timed mile at Lake Gairdner speed trials March 2006 .

In Brisbane and can ship interstate at buyers expense .

If your drivers license restricts you from having a turbo powered car , this could be the engine for you . As you can see by the perfomance figures it would leave a stock rb25det behind ( dont know about neo engines).

Best to phone me on 0413 546380

$3500

as written on r31 skyline club, VERY interested!

That is pretty much the EXZACT engine ive been planning on building, its perfect...

Bottom end . I put in new big end bearings , rb25de pistons with new rings , replaced all gaskets and seals . Steel billet flywheel .

I used a Bosch 040 in tank fuel pump .

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
