For only 300-350awkw you wont need the extra displacement for response, it is possible to have that kind of power with small aftermarket twins and still be responsive as hell.

However yes it will help. Keep in mind though, for a 2.8L or a RB30 bottem end your looking at anywhere from $5000-$10000 depending on what exactly you want to do.

Once you factor in fuel system, turbo (or turbos), ECU, Tomei 2.8 kit ($6000 approx), exhaust, piping, machining, balancing, gaskets, labour, tuning etc etc it starts to add up really quick....

Get the car inspected by someone who can tell you...

-what injectors are fitted.

-what turbo's are fitted.

-if there was an after market engine management ever fitted.

Besides this..check spark plugs for uneven burn..check radiator for bad colouring..check engine oil level and change ASAP.

Replace timing belt...fuel pump..and all oils including diff..gearbox...

Oil pump means engine out..so plan to do engine work at the same time

You will find some good advice on here on the good oils to use.

Also save some pennies for new Turbo's...that is if you don't want engine work earlier.

This above items will determine you next steps on making it more reliable as a day to day car.

After all of the above has been addressed...save some pennies for a clutch...before 3 Month of driving...

if you still have a stock clutch....you will be loosing grip.

Jim Berry Clutches.....he will rebuild you stock clutch...do not throw it away.

Also keep your exhaust..if it is stock that is.

Keep you suspension as well..GTR suspensions are great on the road.....you may just need new shocks at a latter date.

Hope I have been of some help.

So when they talking about balancer or balancing the engine they only mean the part like, ati or ross brand balancer?

each of the reciprocating components is individually weighed and any irregularities are adjusted (by removing material from the heavier ones) the crank is mounted on a balancing machine and spun to measure any problem areas. Material is then removed from it to make it operate true.

Engine out....

New oil pump

New Balancer.

Allow 4K

Maybe a new crank..depending on it condition.

Allow 1K

When motor is out...new Turbo's a must....to difficult when motor is in.

Allow another 3K

GTR's cost money...

Plan your mods.....take it step by step.....

Allow for miss...items......

Crank...lol.....that will be the least of your worries.... :D

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
