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.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

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.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
