Good luck in getting an RB26 block for under $600 in any condition, they are generally between $750-1000.

Then again I have a '94 RB26 block that has both bottom bellhousing threads snapped off that I will probably have to throw out.

NAH thats BS mate. I just got a 33 virgin for 500 2 weeks ago. You people think theyre worth oh so much but theyre not. Truth is its just a block. But they are becoming hard to come by...

Still got my block Manoj, i will take almost anything for it.

I've been casually looking for an rb26 block for over a year and even on ebay they all seem to fetch over $700 with machining required or for a prep'd ready to use block they are $1500.

You can do far better if you shop around! And MYRB30, as for your pointless bit of advice in your previous post. Thank you. There's always a idiot on this forum.

In the past I have bought approx 4 blocks in perfect condition for $500 or under. I know that there is a shortage these days but I'm willing to wait and shop around.

Reason I want a really cheap block is I'm trailing the OS RB30 method and I'm trying to keep costs down for the first test version. My next few engines will be built with n1 blocks and top quality parts. I don't mind waiting for awhile till I stumble on something around that price range.

Mat, I'll contact you sometime this week. We need to catch up regardless. Much to discuss!

Shop around where? I look 6 days a week on ebay, sau, import shops and friends and they still aren't cheap.

I'll probably be picking up an RB30 block next week and going the 26/30 route.

Yes and its evident that you are! Hanging around a post that you have no valuable input in. Who cares if you have a block? It's beyond me why you have come on and posted in my thread. To voice your useless opinion perhaps?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
