Well I started on my rebuild today...with my heart in my mouth...

Unplugged the ecu, took out tail shaft, unbolted it all from the intercooler etc etc,

Tomorrow hopefully it will be out. Then comes the tedious hard part, The rebuild etc...

Anyway, will keep you informed as to how it is all going.

From all the options I have looked at I have decided to build an RB2.2det. Hopefully will take 6 months or so.

Cheers,

Russ

brackets that need to be made...small things that dont fit cause youre using diffent engine bits...larger injectors, bigger turbo, upgrade gearbox to handle the power, Its always going to be more expensive to build because it is not a standard engine so things will have to be machined more and modified more than if you built a standard engine.

Have you done it before? Big task to attempt if you haven't but thumbs up for giving it a good go!

But i guess i've started on a reasonable amount of pulling my engine apart, and probably could work out how, just have no reason to. .. its all mostly just bolts after all.

building a 3ltr really isnt that much more,if u use the rb25head u can use things like exaust manifold,maybe the turbo if yourve got like a t04 already, and the bottom end stuff for the rb30 it actually pretty cheap,i prices brand new pistons and chromeoly rings for the rb30et and they came to $400 for the set, (thats through work)

how much power are u looking for out of this rebuild?

cause im looking at doing the exact same thing

yeah, so russ, expanding on what narky said, is the extra .2 mainly done for torque? or power? Any other advantages of increasing the litres?

cheers, and good luck with the rebuild!! I really want to find out how everything all works, etc, so when i get my skyline hopefully i'll be able to do most of the things on the car. Service etc.

extra .2 will give more torque and more power thru more capacity...nothing startling there, also might as well because it is just as easy to do 82mm bore and still undecided as to whether I will use rb20 crank or rb25 crank...they give 2.2 or 2.3 litres respectivly(roughly).

just about to actually remove the engine from the car right now....crosses fingers.

going to try and get the engine and gbox out in one go.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
