Ive been thinking and heard alot of good things about puting a r33 RB25DE or T on my RB30ET block and selling my intake and exhaust manifolds 4 rb25 items.

Ive been doing alot of searching and reading about it on here and on the skyline forums.

Is it possible to have the RB25 head shaven to bring compression up to 8.5:1 on my standard rb30et block ?? (I no i could use the NA block but dont really wanna pull motor out as its fairly fresh).

Cheers

RB30E I heard is the better option. The block I used was a N/A block that had done around 400,000klms :P , machined up and did the job perfectly. I'm not sure of compression ratio though, but wasn't too high or low took lots of boost without detonating or troubles we guess-timated around 8.5:1. Plus they are initially cheap to buy.

why raise the compression.....just stick a big turbo on it and go for 10 second qautermiles,

young fella here n nz has done exactley that. twin cam turbo head on his auto vl commie, changed the loom n ecu, fitted and front mount, stucks sum 265's on the rear, wound the boost up to 14 psi and ran a 10.4 on his first run.

my first conversion was a rb30/R33 25de striaght swap, the only new thing i bought was a head gasket and head bolts ...the only work done to it was to face it and weld up the oil gallery to the hydralic lifters. stuck it straight on, bolted on a idleler pulley for the cam belt and reassembled it.

i then drilled and tapped a qauter inch fitting into the intake side of the head back into the gallery that had been welded up, fitted a brass t piece behind the oil pressure sensor and connected the two with a hose. ran 13.2 exactly as described above, no extra go fast bits or engine work done.

the way to do it would be use your et block a na twin cam head and then turbo it.

Because the car will drive like a piece of shit with compression that low (30ET + 25/26 head)

Mate I think your best option is to sell your current package and buy a RB30E, or rebuild with correct compression pistons.

Thanks everyone for all the responces,

I have kinda Been going through the 300+ page thread for info.

Thanks for the pdf doc f*kin unreal..... exactly what i was after :down: (Legend the person that wrote it)

Ive just got and bought a rb30e block from the wreaks for 100 bucks :P lol started to strip it down last night but mates came around.....

Im gunna use standard rods but give them a polish maybe send them away for shotpeening??

I also donno wether to do Forged pistions or us NA standard pistons (over size if the bore needs machining)

Ive heared alot of people dont bother about using the piston oil squirters from the rb25 block? R they really that nessecery?

Sounds tricky and im gunna be doing the full build myself in my old mans smash repair shed.

Also will be using standard rb25de head with heavy duty valve springs.

I would like between 300rwkw maybe a little more but i want fast spool for the street. was thinking of using a hypergear TR44

they seem like a decent budget turbo made and balanced in Melbourne Australia.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
