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.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
