im about to start sourcing parts to begin my build on my old 25 sitting under the house and would like to know from people who have done it, how they get there 25 to rev higher i would like to take it out to about 8500RPM if possible. motor will be forged bottom end all balanced obviuosly was thinking lightened flywheel and harmonic blancer, port and polish head, set of valve springs and i have a set of hks 264 with 8.5mm lift intake and exhaust cams that will go in as well. any other suggestions to get it to rev happily and safely.

thanks

As the others have said, the advantages of power are had earlier along, not right at the end, if you want power increase the turbo put NOS in, 8500rpm aint going to gain you much if any at that high, and all it is going to do is wear things alot much alot quicker than normal operating levels, No gain in it, pointless thread.

On another note, why dont you check out the FI dyno results, and you may just see were the power is to be had with the extensive modifications list to go with it.

Cheers A :sleep:

I only needed 8000rpm with my GT30 setup.

Was making power there, but much over that there was no point.

All depends on the setup as to wether or not you'll need 8500rpm...

So throw some more specs out to us, i would suspect you might not need that much.

was aiming at 8500 so i have alttile lee way so limiter about 8000ish will be stock crank and rods preped accordingly with forgies bottom end all balanced lightened flywheel and harmonic blancer, port and polish head, set of valve springs, set of hks 264 with 8.5mm lift intake and exhaust cams that will go in as well, add in microtech to control it all turbo i am still undecided on it will be street driven looking for 250rwkw want power and boost to come on hard and early and hold as best as possible right through to redline (where ever it set to to?)

With 250rwkw, there is no way you'll need 8500rpm dude.

A GCG hi-flow or similar (that will make 250rwkw) just isnt going to make powee up there :sleep:

Around 7000-7500 is where the fun is going to end for you so an 8000rpm limiter is going to be more than ample for your application.

cool thanks nismoid i sort of figured that may be the case but for arguements sake lets say i was to throw on something in the gt35/40 range if i have a change of heart and go stupid would you say there would be an advantage in letting it spin to 8ish

why is everyone telling him its useless or 'why' he wants to do it rather then actually trying to help him achieve what he wants to achieve regardless if its practical or not?...if its possible then why not let him do it. Its his car, engine and money and ultimately hes responsible for it all.

Everyone says there is no need to rev a 30det past 7000-7500 we send ours to 8000 with possibility to 8500 cause it just keeps making power. Sometimes having a wider powerband helps.

i think the 300 mark may be a little extreme for now any way, no reason i cant bolt on a bigger turbo down the track if i get bored and want more.

the engine is being built with more power in mind for later i think 250kw will scare me enough at the moment

average power makes a car fast, focus on that

True. That's why lifting the rev limiter is an enormous help to average power when you use a large turbo. Looks like this guy might want a GT35 and the extra revs will help a a lot with average power since there will be a lot of lag in the mid range. I'm sure with that turbo selection he wants more than 250rwkw at some time in the future.

Are GTR rods the same length? ie. no probs with pushing the pistons higher/lower in their bores?

Theres no point, but if you really want to rev that high the most popular setup is an r32 GTS-T conversion with forged internals and proper oiling mods. You could probably see 10,000 rpm safely..

Yes this setup is far superior to the rb25 in every way..

Also, this post is entirely inspired by sarcasm.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
