hi guys,

I am building and RB2.3 and before i pull my engine apart just want to clarify a few things.

I am using a RB25 crank and rods with 4AGZE pistons from a AE101 levin, as i believe that these are forged & light weight. Now Question time:

1.The piston pin hole dia. is 20mm, is that the same as RB25 rods

2. 4AGZE pistons are 81mm, current bore size is 78mm. that's 3mm or a lotta thou. Is there enough cyl. wall thickness to be bored out that much, also. I have been told that there will be problems with cyl. flexing, just want to know people's personal experiece. I am going to 'Cryo treat' most parts of the engine, so hopefully that should cyl. problems if there are any.

3. Anyone know prices for 4AGZE pistons, must be from a AE101.

Price for 1mm metal head gasket

Price for 'Nismo' Big end crank & con rod bearings

4. 1 more, i am running a HKS 3037s turbo, any advise for camshft selction.

Thanks in advance

my honest thoughts on this are just go the 2.2 and get the proper pistons if your going to run a 3037 you will need all the revs you can get tomei make the 2.2 pistons they are 82 mm should be plenty of bore left I know some one who ran this set up with a big rx6 set up and 256 cams and he made 600 hp you will need cams and some head work also consider usinga rb 26 n1 oil pump.

cheers

    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
