trying to get the parts list together so i can build this damn 25/30 there was just a couple things in my head that i wanted to sort out before i finalised the parts list.

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

    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.     
    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?
