Ok heres the deal.... I found a stagea AWD DET longblock fitted with an rb20det head. It has a spun rod bearing but the fellow only wants a few hundred bucks for the longblock.

The engine will be used in a drift car. Aiming for 300-350hp along with other characteristics that define a great performing drift engine.

I have done some searching around and found one thread in particular that lists parts used in a similar rebuild. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...hl=rb25+rebuild

Any thoughts on how any of that would apply to my rebuild?

Im pretty much looking for a list of recommended parts, machining, DIY upgrades, etc.. that would apply to my rebuild.. Particularly, in regards to bottom end rebuild and head modifications. I'd like to do this right the first time. So, feel free to include those "not necessary, but useful" upgrades/machine work.

Im assuming everyone is going to recommend ditching the 20 head for rb25det head?

I've already looked into the RB head oil feed issue and will be correcting that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers!

are you buying that off of canadianskyline in alberta canada?

i would just buy his neo if you are,less bullshit,good price.

Ya. I'm planning on buying that longblock.. Im looking for an engine project that i can build over the season.. I just did a 1jz swap in my other car so im not looking to spend a bunch on another complete engine.. Just want something for a lil cheaper that i can take my time on and doesnt take up to much space. I can throw this on a stand and keep it in my shed until im ready to rock on it...

As for that link to the other engine.. I'm in Canada so factor in shipping and it wouldnt be practical for me to buy a cooked engine from over seas.

just fix up that 20 head u should be able to get quite a bit of power out of that head fairly cheap,unless u can find a 25 head elsewhere.its a good deal and you should be satisfied especially if you have the time to wait.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
