To go the 30 would mean more $ for modding, ic piping, exhaust and dump, oil pump, waterpump, plus more machining costs.

The only thing cheaper was the piston cost.

If i was just looking for big numbers the 30 would be the go but im not.

Umm, why more costs? is this what the guy you want to build your engine said?

Are you not putting a decent oil pump and a new water pump in there anyway?

The only difference in machining costs would be getting a spot for the tensioner drilled/tapped and maybe oil/water fittings if a non turbo block.

Why are the pistons cheaper? was he going to do you a standard non-turbo build?

30's aren't for big numbers, they're for people who want lots of torque/drivability. They do help if you do want big numbers though as you can spin up bigger turbos.

Um... Are you not the water pump and oil pump etc?

As for the dump, cut it and get 38mm longer added into it...

IC Piping, is usually change one pipe.

More machining? What more machining? Skim the head, deck the block... Are you not doing this on the RB25?

I had my head modified to retain VVT for my second head (DIdn't have it on the first, still torquey as hell down low) Cost me $20 to have the stuff welded, and tapped.

And has cost me $250 in external oil lines, but that's including doing oil drain mods, which you'd be HIGHLY advised to do on the RB25 also...

I understand that, but it seems someone has given him the impression that building a 30 is cost prohibitive.

Do you actually have anything constructive to add?

Well yes I prefer to have a 25 as it is more than capable of producing huge power, the 25/30 conversion is fairly straight forward and I did consider it but in the end I decided that the extra mods (to everything) arent neccessary for what I want.

Ive got all my bolt on,s done(i think :( ) now I'm going to have the internals done, what should i do to to maximise my torque down low.

Or have i got this wrong and just need to up the boost and tune it when she is rebuilt, I'm getting pistons , rods, bearings, head rebuilt and adjustable cam gear on the exhaust side, What else should i look at.

Ive got, TO4 High mount, Greddy inlet Plenum, 800cc injectors, FMIC, Link ECU, Greddy Profect B Spec 2, Bosch 044 fuel pump.

I don't want a Rb30 bottom end and will be using the 25 crank.

Ive searched around but couldnt find much on making torque only kw.(or are they hand in hand)

Thanks for your help.

Generally longer intake runners= more TQ, so your better of with the standard intake manifold rather than the greddy. You'd want to increase stroke as much as you can and also possibly the smallest turbo that can reach your desired power levels..

I dont want more stroke, I dont want a 30, I dont want a 26, I dont want to change my bolt ons.

Im keeping my 25 bottom end.

I wanted to know if there were other thing i could do with what ive got to get more torque when i get it rebuilt.

Thanks to the 1 or 2 people who gave me some usefull info, you know who you are.

Sorry if I sound harsh.

Why bother then?There's only so much torque you can get a from a short stroke 2.5ltr i6 without major changes. It doesn't sound like you want to do anything reasonable to increase TQ.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
