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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
