Advice Info On Rb23/24 Engines

[huddy]

they certainly are - they're just in the middle of relocating to the city dismantlers complex, i'm sure they will re-advertise everywhere once they're settled in.

[Madaz]

aw thats a shame i drive past there everyday on my way to work no imports to look @ anymore

[32 4whore]

Cheers Huddy.

I think i better talk to ryan and Terry pretty snappy.

I want the 23/24 so i can be different. But it seems like the 25de from the 32 is the way everyone is hinting for me to go.

Atleast the pricing from everyone is around the $5000 figure. I was thinking it would be different from workshop to workshop.

Just need to get to know the mechanic of choice for my engine swap so I dont get a brand new lemon.

Kansai is moving further away from me. Dam you TELLY

okay guys, im gonig to build an RB30

But, im going to do the bottom end as well, with forged pistons and rods ect. how do you achieve 9:1 comp ratio with the rb26/25 heads?

I've seen the light adn have decided not to f**k around

Cheers

go to the rb30 thread in the forced induction section, all will be explained in there!

[1400r]

what about a 32 rb25de with forgies and upgrade valve springs

or 25det it 3.5k for a engine package you cant go wrong

shit take it to your mechanic comp test it leak down test it and if you dont want it

give it back and try again with one of the 2 other 25det we have in stock now

[Bl4cK32]

u could do a rb30 for 3.5k

all depends what u want

[32 4whore]

I don't know what I want. All these ideas. But I want my engine to work with no hicups and convert my car to manual.

I have the money i just need to find a trustworthy/ competent mechanic/ machiner

[Bl4cK32]

Id take u for a ride in the 3lt experience, but defected fer other stupid reasons atm...

[32 4whore]

LOL.

What the boys in blue dont no won't hurt them. Although I wouldn't want to risk you getting reamed if on the slight chance we got caught.

[1400r]

"u could do a rb30 for 3.5k

all depends what u want"

rb30 would be nice but he'd still have a auto rb30 4 door 32 unless he spent another $500 on a rb20 box which would blow behind a 30 sliding in about 2 min

so he'd have to buy a 25 box so add $1,500 to the rb30 idea brings you to 5k which is the whole budget

ps 3.5k 25 package all includes 25 manual box

[Bl4cK32]

Nothing wrong with an auto rb30. In fact hed have a faster car than u or i if he kept the auto...put an mv auto shift kit in it, and it will be as tough as your rb25det box.

Rb20 gearbox will last for a while too. Cubes ran his for over 12 months before it let go, now hes going auto as a matter of fact, so its in his favour to keep it in. Hell even im thinking of going auto.

U are speaking to the wrong person to argue about a 3lt

240rwkw.. Sky30 went through I believe 6 or so rb20 box's. :S

I've just done another 12months on the replacement rb20 box and its going strong with no strange noises. The old rb20 box had a thrashing of 4 years in my hands and around 135,000km's (total ~200,000-210,000km's on the clock) so it was well used and not just drop rb30 in and bang.

I'd stick with the auto for now. The rb20 box wouldn't blow when 'sliding' my feeling is they would last longer as its not 'gripping'. Grip is what kills the box.

Shop around.. There's one place I know of here in Adelaide that sells rb25det box's for ~1100. cut, weld and re balance your tail shaft, mod the gearbox mount and u'll probably get away with an rb25 box in the car WITH a clutch for ~2k.

Or stick a full manual kit through the auto box and it might even be better for drifting considering the rb30's bulk torque and spooling ability.

[sky30]

yes , i ble 5 boxes in my rb30, but some of them were not too good when they went in the car, plus the big torque coming on so fast down low in the revs put alot of strain on them.

[32 4whore]

OK I have done the unthinkable.

I have sourced out a new engine and a full conversion kit.

So next week my car will be getting de automatic and bring on the 5speed manual.

If anyone wants parts off my engine let me know. Im keeping the timing belt, waterpump, tensioner & Idler bearings and rocker cover gaskets.

The rest has to go. So what ever you want let me know and im sure u can get it for alot cheaper then half the ppl here are selling it. i dont need a engine out the back collecting rain water.

So if you want parts PM Or Ring me on 0439455399.

The Autobox is for sale too. Make an offer and I wont say no. It needs to go once the work has finished. Should be a week.

Brenton. Im making a for sale thread aswell.

[Bl4cK32]

I'll give ya $50 for the auto

[32 4whore]

LOL. Prob all its worth.

your goin got have to fight over Joel you know that. he asked for the whole lot first. I have no idea how much its worth so i hope i didnt ask for too much.

[mr_rbman]

what'd u end up with? 20/25?

[32 4whore]

20.

Need my car fixed asap and i couldnt blow off the deal I have recieved from the mechanics behind my house. The owner owns a 32 and has replaced engines and g/boxs many times.

Plus i get a full 3 month warranty on all parts they change. So i am not complaining.

Its booked in for tuesday night. So hopefully a weeks time and its back in my hands/ feet and i can actually enjoy my car for once in the last 2 months

[32 4whore]

Car's Back.

Now we begin the saving again to get suspenion and fmic and better clutch and rims.

This time should go quick as i have 3 months till i am willing to do anything to the engine and g/box.
