Not much point having a built engine with a stock turbo, so if you're saying you will get the rebuild done you may as well factor in a few other things to go with it, like ecu & turbo just for a start.

why going rebuild?

its so cheap to buy second hand engines these days, and you can reliably get over 400rwhp without a problem from an internally stock RB25

save your money, buy more mods - have more fun for the same $$$

Go the second hand engine - KYP, cost you 1500 or if you want more, buy a RB30 bottom end - get a cheap stocko freshen up - bolt on RB25 head

there are so many 'built' engines out there already, that arent being pushed past what a stock bottom end can easily handle - it just doesnt make sense. (built engines often need a freshen up every 30,000km or so - its just more expensive all around)

dont get caught up in the 'I got a forged rebuild' hype - over-engineering wont give you more power, or make your dick bigger.

(back to your question - Heinz Engineering do good work :) )

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
