Knowing the RB25 comp ratio probably won't help you much.

What pistons and gasket thickness are you going to be using?

gasket i haven't worked out, same with pistons, i was going to keep the standard ones, i want my compression to be around the 8.5 - 8.8 mark, only really want to run 12psi boost. I know i can get that with a smaller turbo but if plans ever change down the line i can alway squeeze more from that turbo rather than buying a new one.

I really need another engine stand, bloody vq is hogging the other one

What's the point of going a dirty 30 if you aren't going to do it properly?

Cast pistons and 12psi on a 35 will net you around 300-320rwhp. Nothing that can't be done on a stock 25 with less mucking around.

true, but i want to muck around, i have been wanting to build one for a long time now, i have a spare good running rb30e here, and i got a 25 head cheap, so why not?

yer true, i could go forged pistons, but thats another $1000 - $2000 for pistons then i might aswell replace the rods. If i dropped a 25 into it i would be following much the same process with the mods. Plus there is too many rb25 r31's around. R31's need 30 love

i dunno never watched it fully, think i fell asleep...

in other news, monday morning will be fun, testing a car for a misfire at 6500rpm on the icb anyone? i'll get the boss to drive it

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
