RB25DETS2 - is that 323 on a built motor? Where did you get it tuned?

Standard Head/Gasket

Standard intake manifold/throttle body

Standard exhaust manifold

Standard rods/piston/block (genuine 105,000klms with books)

HKS 3037 pro S running 24psi trailing off to 19psi by redline

Nismo 555 injectors running 90% duty

Nismo Fuel Pump

Power FC

Blitz LM cooler

Gizzmo EBC

Tuned with a datalogit and wideband by Adrian a fellow member here in SA username 180or200. His 33 is making 300 odd with standard bottom end and E85 also, definately knows his stuff.

That's a hell of a lot of power for a stock engine. Has the car been put on another dyno to check the results?

Yeah granted it is but if the 1j's can do it why not the rb. As a comparison it has been on three dynos with the same state of tune and read 250.7(DD),251(mainline) and 257 on the one it made 323 on.

did you glue or sticky tape the pistons back together?

You can blow one of these engines up at 180 with a crap tune.The knock is almost non existant with E85 the same couldn't be said with 98. Adrian who tuned my car has been running around for six months with over 300rwkw and E85.

I want E85 and i need it now!

Just make sure you get a good tune and have a fuel syetem capable of handling the xtra flow needed. Oh forgot to add i'm still running standard airbox too looks bog stock when you lift the bonnet (besides the turbo and dump of course). :P

Having 300rwkw and using 300rwkw everyday are two different things.

I'll be honest, I'm a sceptic. The 25 is probably a little less refined than the 1J, and as we all know (but probably don't like to admit that the 2J is stronger than the 26).

A dyno sheet would be awesome, as I'm keen on seeing the power curve down low. From your post I gather max power is at around 20-21psi?

Fair enough i'm not saying it gets used to its maximum every day that would be stupid to just thrash the living shit out of it, but if the mood arises. Dyno sheet in the RB25 upgrade thread which compares my last 98 tune and 18psi.

I can recall a good mate of mine making 321rwkw about 3-4 years ago using a HKS GT3037S with a 0.87 exh' on a standard RB25DET, although his engine did have a HKS head gasket and HKS cams. But the power levels were no different, only the fuel - 98 vs. E85 - HKS cams and a few pounds extra boost would have made up the majority of the power in this example. It would have been interesting to see how much extra his old set-up would have made on E85 - 350 to 370rwkw maybe.

I don't doubt the power figure for a second. The longevity on a standard 9:1 bottom end and stock cast RB25 pistons is debatable, but until it fails more power to Lee!

Thanks Matt

I dont see the point in pulling down the engine because of maybe's and hear say, if it chucks a leg out of bed then so be it, i will deal with it if and when it happens. State of tune and Knock plays a huge role in engine failures.

I am willing to bet that a stock RB25 bottom end will be able to handle 350rwkw with E85.

Get me a stock rb25 engine and i will drop it into my car. If i break it at anything under 350 rwkw i will pay for the engine.

This fuel is soo forgiving its not funny. You can get the MAX torque level and then advance the timing a extra 10 deg and it will STILL NOT DETONATE.

DETONATION destroys engines!!! if your not pinging your RB25 it will last shitloads longer!!! Look at old mate from wollongong who ran over 380rkw and ran a 10 sec quarter on unstable pump 98...

add e85 to the equasion and your talking BIG power. I would not be suprised if you can reach 400rwkw with e85 and a stock RB25. (maybe some rod bolts might be needed but you never know lets try it ???)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
