i have a n rb25 and ill be adding

forged conrods and pistons

larger injectors

external wastegate

new cam gears

microtec lt-12 ecu

justjap FMIC 3" piping

turbo back 3" high flow exhaust

fuel pump and uno just basically all other little things

but i was thinking should i change the block to an rb30?

cause ive heard of people talking about things like that

cause i dont want to be stuck with a 2.5L

if all i need to do is grab a few things from an rb30...

tell me what u recommened i do here

btw its a r33 gts+t

what are you trying to achieve? how much money do you have?

how much power do you want to make? what turbocharger do you want to use?

i have a garret gt30 bb turbo. i will be upgrading that...

i want as much power as i can get but keep it a street car

looking to run low - mid 11's

even lower if possible.

but i want to know do u recommened changing part of my block or changing the head?

go read the RB30 specific section at the top of forced induction

it would have everything you need to know about the 3 litre build and best practices

theres also a sticky thread on rb30 turbo packages and the power they make

If you cant run a low 11 with a GT30 then there is something wrong with the way your driving :D

A GT30 will make between 270-330rwkw which is well and truely 11's territory

Other than that - do a search mate. Pros/Cons of 3ltrs vs 2.5ltrs... costs, issues, its all been covered in massive detail in past threads.

I have been running a RB30DET for about 6 years now, and i only suggest to people that they go RB30 only if their current engine is no good and not re-usable or they want to go for the big torque engine and not too worried about the cost.

RB30 is great and powerfull but they are a bit of a pain in the ass to get running and setup to work correctly.

For your goals a RB25det with a GT35r or t04z will be fine.

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
