Hey guys,

Eventually i'll be starting my R32 project car. I'm just researching all my options before i go ahead with it.

I'm trying to decide what motor to use. I'd be looking at around maybe 400-500kw mark. But i don't know whether to go:

- Crazy RB25DET

- RB26DETT

- RB25/30

- RB26/30

- RB30DETT

Who's had experience with these motors? What would be the easiest to get that sort of power out of? What would be the most reliable?

Thanks

Nick

Maybe you should state your budget so you get better answers

i don't have a budget yet...i don't even have the car at the moment. This is merely research. but for example if the 26/30 is the best option i'll budget for that. if the 30 is better i'll budget for that. It'll be a very long term project

for that sort of power you're talking BIG money, so reliability shouldn't be too much of a factor, as you'll have to rebuild the entire thing.

What do you plan on using the car for?

If you're going to be spending massive coin, why not go for something a bit individual? I read of a TT LS3 R34 awhile back, putting out some huge numbers.

I would possibly lean towards an LS series engine...but i would prefer an RB i think

lol, 400 to 500rwkw is a big difference is drivability and cost

My advice? R32 GTST, strip it bare, get the rust out, only put in the parts that are required to make it move and get rego, rb26, eagle rods, cp pistons, jun pump and crank snout, n1 water pump, surge tank with 044, decent valve springs, clean up of head, big cams, to4z for big power or r34 n1's for response, nismo twin plate clutch

Then lots of fuel and tyres.

Easy

400 is my main aim....but if i get to 500 i'll be happy.

Lets just say 450 to be safe lol

I'm still undecided whether to go GTR or GTST too..i'm thinking gtst tho but i'm not sure. mite have that as the power car..and just have a stock gtr maybe...if i'm made of money by that stage :cool:

I want at least 400 as i said..would the N1's get me there? Would i need something bigger?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
