...Joshwa Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hi all, Im building a 25/30 (N/A until im off restrictions), therefore going for a high comp setup, hence using RB25DE pistons. . Just wondering if it is necessary to buy new rings for the pistons when I put them in the 30 block, and if not, is it necessary to hone the cylinder walls. . If I need to get new rings, are the RB25DET and RB25DE rings the same?? And also what brand should I be looking at. . I looked at OEM Nissan and they wanted 500 just for rings. . Seems a bit expensive to me? Thanks, Josh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/253077-rb25-piston-rings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotRICE? Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 How long are you on restrictions for? If its not long, dont waste your time/$/effort. Unless you absolutely MUST have an NA Skyline. Buy a Honda. Factory reliability, decent power and alot of cheap aftermarket bits to play with.

...Joshwa Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) The motor isnt going into a skyline. . Im a vl boy lol Im on the restrictions for another 2 years. . Ive spent a lot of money on this motor already (I am going to keep the bulk of it when I am on my opens for my new motor), I just need a set of RB25DE pistons to bump up the compression for now. . So yeah. . What rings and from where? And is it necessary or can I just put the pistons straight in?? (with the rings on them of course) Edited January 18, 2009 by ...Joshwa Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/253077-rb25-piston-rings/#findComment-4375736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
