55yko Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 following on from the PM's, I would recommend the Rb25 but not sure of whats needed in the gearbox department whether it bolts straight on or not.

Demoniak Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 following on from the PM's, I would recommend the Rb25 but not sure of whats needed in the gearbox department whether it bolts straight on or not. 3500 budget for a rb25? nope... keep walking... you would ( while its open) replace any worn parts etc on the engine and possibly do the clutch at the same time ( since its all open) for a rb25 ( + the ecu and wiring loom since the putahs are different) i would be looking at an upwards of 5000-15000 I got a few places to put a quote for me when i was thinking of putting an RB20//25 into my silvia and they broke down what needed to be done and what is reccomended.. they were not to far off each other and yah.. cheapest was 5000 and the most expensive was 15000 ( 15,000 was a complete rebuild + "bullet proofing" + after market gear) So with your price range get an RB20 and do it right.

ze_flexy_1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I dont know much about the price ranges and acually bolting in the Rb25 but by the sounds of it, if you get a new RB20 and luckily you'll do it right and have some exra dosh over to get some nice upgrades.

R33S2 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Just to give you an idea of cost, Zoom recently installed an 25rb in a 33 for under 3 grand, second hand anything is always a push, he has had no problems yet.

phatboi2010 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 just stick with the rb20 it saves you hassel, and you'll prolly have some money left over for some mods, 3.5 k is a very tight budget if your going for rb25 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160327-rb20-or-rb25/#findComment-2978362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegs Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 stoking a 20 to a 24 is more effort than it's worth and it's not cheap anyway! With your budget, just stick to putting in a 20 again. You're going to have to pay someone to take it out, someone to put it all back in....and depending on where you go you'll use up your budget quicker than you probably think. Remeber he's not doing any of this himself....I assume? If you're LUCKY you'll have a bit of left over money for some bolt ons.
