I don't know why people say that a RB25 with a RB26 crank/rods will make a RB27 because it won't.

RB25/26/30's all have the same bore 86mm so the only difference between the engines is the stroke. So guess what, if you fit a RB26 cranks in a RB25 you end up with an RB26 because the bore and stroke is the same as an RB26.

I believe to make a RB27 out of a RB25 you also need to do a 2mm bore as well so you get the extra displacement. I am not too sure, as finding info on this is near impossible for me, whenever i really search its pretty much about the Jun or Tomei stoker kits.

Your car is hot.

Cheers mate :(

yeah ive been in a 300rwkw car and loved every minute of it. was an amazing feeling :)

nice plates btw :)

Good stuff, i just wanted to know if you knew what sort of power you would be getting yourself into. Even 300kw in a rwd car is wheel spin city, 500rwkw would just be pointless i recon.

wrong the stroke has to be longer since the bore is the same its the only way to change the capacity

Why don't you do what a bloke in the States did with TE27 and fit a 1UZ-fe, I'd say that you'd be the only person in Australia with a V8 keto. Having said that the CA would still make more power.

i believe there is another guy's that have done it

oh yeah but even once the car is making 500rwkw will be dyno queen i think

but then i could be happy with 300rwkw

i wont know till im there really :(

Good to see we're on the same page because that's what i said. If you fit an RB26 crank in to a RB25 block you end up with a RB26, because the bore and stroke will then be the same as an RB26.

If i was to built a dyno car it would have to make 1000hp minimum.

problem is, 500rwk from a 2.5 litre (turbo) will be totally gutless on the street and a stock standard RB25 will blow you away at the lights

It'll be an absolute pig to drive around town and will be gutless up until 5000rpm........from there it's wheel spin city all the way to 9000rpm and lots of broken bits to sweep up behind you unfortunately

it would be RB25/30

and ive been told that having the RB30 bottom end will help a lot with torque?

The way in which you will have to set up your head to get 1000rwhp means that you will lose all of the bottom end torque that you will have gained by fitting a 3 litre. having said that you will have more than a 2.5 litre.

I think you need to have a good look at what you want from this build and then going for broke because you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want low down torque go back to looking at a Supercharger as there are S/Chargers that will make 1000hp. Or better yet look at fitting a VH45DE with a charger or twin turbos.

Either way once you start you'd better have some money behind you because building a 1000hp engine won't give you much if any change out of $40,000.

    • 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?
