hey all, i bought a rb30 thisarvo (paid f*k all for it), i have the complete engine, minus the wiring and ecu, i wanna build a 25/30 and stick it into a track car. apart from the obvious

- 25 top end (injectors, manifolds (im making my own custom ones), ecu, wiring etc etc

im gonna strip it to the bare block and clean it up with new rings, bearing etc etc. is there anything custom i need to do to the block?

and what else do i need. do i need the full wiring loom from the 25? if all goes to plan itle be goin into a 180sx. making up custom parts is no problem for me i can do it all myself, but if someone can give me some guidence in what i need and what i have to do id be very very much gratful :D

thanks

have a good read..... all depends on wot track car your putting it in and what ecu/wiring loom your using, if its a 4 door r32 like in ur profile thingo easiest (altho rare and pricey) is the rb25de head from a r32....

if not u can make a rb25det head work with patience.

that would definately be the best way....feel free to drop me a pm if u get stuck.... im in the process of putting the rb25/30det into my r32 4door (coincidence) and iv done a few conversions before so by the end of my build i should have come across most of your problems already.

in your case simplist way would be aftermarket computer

or

a rb25det head, with all the loom, manifolds, sensors, coils etc....r33 ecu with power fc....

all depends which option works out cheaper for your and how much you like wiring up a car :)

if you got the money get your hands on a r33 manual box too... strongest box youll get for your money

Even if you don't have the money, you're going to need one pretty soon.. I killed a 20 box within a couple of months of dropping my 25/30 in.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
