Hey Fellow LinerZ! :)

Has anyone got or know of anyone that has an rb20det low with low k's thats in very good nick or an rb25det r33 front cut? anyone on the gold coast or close that could help me purchase one of these options and install it? i just wanna learn how everything works :D

i cant really get that learning curve happening if i just take it so some random mechanic to do it ;) they just say piss off and come back next week! and i dont learn anything! if anyone has the time please don't hesitate :)

i still don't know what to do with my options which one would be the best??

Budget is $6000

My Options

_____________

- i either get and rb20det and get some forged bits n pieces/parts and get it all tuned up like a s**t OR

- get an rb25det r33 front cut and do the whole 25 conversion.

I don't have time or know how to do it

but my advise would be if you are gonna do it

you might as well get an RB25!

They are heaps better

didnt you just get your car jesse?

Wasnt yours the one with all the monza parts in it?

what happened?

You should refer to the other thread you started, plenty of people who posted in there have done this conversion. Also look to forced induction, there are many threads explaining what to do, with pics. At the end of the day, unless you can convince someone to help you for seriously low money (like 1k) the reality is the rb25 is just going to be out of your price range. You don't know enough about your car/engines to do this yourself, regardless of how much you read. If I was you, i'd take my car to a mechanic and get a new rb20 put in, and do as much else as you can with your money whilst it's there....if you want to spend the rest of the money that is. Otherwise you'll end up with a car thats off the road for a long, long time.

Just my 2c

I can get you the engine for 2k or a 33 front cut for 4k but don't have the time to fit or explain suck squeeze bang blow tick tock doof doof.

Im not jesse... :dry:

Im Zennon :(

that wasnt meant to you.. it was meant to jesse..

and i did check.. you did just get that r32 jesse.. why the rebuild.. did the original one go bang bang.. or you want to do a rebuild just cause?

piston gtfo'd and killed other stuff rofl... aka bang bang :(.. iv decided to try and looks for and rb20 and do the internals and a bigger turbo ect.. thanks <3

annoy that big poof up there (dan aka 3lit3 32) caus he can supply you with ALOT if not all the parts ur after, he's jsut really busy.

i recently put an rb25 in a 33 (bought from dan), wasnt too hard, only took 10hrs to take old one out, swap parts over and fire the new one up

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
