ive never bought or looked for one myself but im pretty sure that sounds close to buying a 25 and building it. so yeh about right i would think. dunno about shops selling ready built import engines, maybe a V8 crate motor though lol

P.S: sorry for hijacking the thread, it's kind of related :P

well approx costs

FMIC = $1000

injectors = $1000

fuel pump = $300

PFC = $1400

turbo = $2000 ?

so your looking at about 5.5 grand worth of parts

then workshop labour at about $80 an hour

then about $170 an hour for tuning

hmmm im pretty sure racespec supply full rebuild kits for like 2.5k or osmething around there ? and then all the machining wouldn't be too expensive if u bring it to the machinist yourself instead of a work shop :P well thats my 2c's hahah

how much do u want build?

just forged pistons and rods or...

new crank?

water pump

oil pump

timing belt

gasket kit

valves

valve springs

port n polishing

arp head/main studs

cams

cam gears

bearings

thats just starters

then u need the

turbo, manifold(s), ecu, injectors, fmic, fuel pump, fuel pressure reg, exhaust

now a tune and add LABOUR which is $80-90 an hour for a workshop these days

it depends how far you want to go

but an extensive rebuild say to rev higher, will cost bulk

compared to a basic bottom end rebuild

7k will get you built internals, or a bunch of bolt ons, not both.

Go read through the RB25 sticky in the Forced Induction forum..

Or you could build a cheap 30 :P

Really depends on what your goals are.. you could easily blow 15-20k on internals if you really wanted to.

cheers guys

okay im after about 250- 280 rwkw

so what kind of built would do the job

considering a 25/30 build but costs may not be woth it if im only going for 250-280

has anyone done a rb25 rebuilt recently

if so could you possibly post

1. power output

2. parts used

3. cost if possible

oh yeah any recommendations for somewher to get the engine machined

my current mods are listed in my sig

i will be upgrading the turboand cams

will these mods be enough for my target

cheers

thats between only 330-380hp

anything rebuild worth its money would easily handle that

how about just change the exhaust manifold (top or low of your choice)

bigger turbo, cams, and a full ecu?

then when the engine blows.... then rebuild it?

i was thinking of buying a motor and build it up

this might be a stupid question but what the diff between a short and long motor???

and when it comes to pistons what do 20 thou and 40 thou mean??

cheers

Yeah give me a couple of months and I'll let you know how RB30 + GT35R goes :P

Also, if you're rebuilding, there's no significant difference between building a 25/30 and rebuilding a 25.

Short motor generally means bottom end and head, no manifolds, turbos, injectors or ancillaries.

20thou and 40thou is thousands of an inch oversize, i.e. if the bores are scored and you need to bore them out then you would be going 0.020" oversize etc.

An example is my crank, I had it ground for 0.010" (0.25mm) oversize bearings.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
