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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
