Well it looks like the cam belt came off, engine overheated then went POP! really i'm lucky i pulled over when i did i could of melted a rod or piston or at least something.

If i went a Rb25det what would i need to change?

Look in the NA section, there's heaps of info there.

But to be honest, I don't reckon rebuilding an NA engine is worth it.

No i don't think so either and i was going to end up dropping RB25DET in the 33

Yeah, you could always sell the other working parts from the DE engine or even some of the running gears that you might replace with the turbo parts, eg brakes, exhaust etc.

enigne, brakes, computer for engineers

and probably just change the whole rear k frame if you can afford it then you got brakes on rear and a better diff - not sure if you need to change the rears for engineers cert though.

best thing buy a halfcut and strip the shit out of it

Just got off the phone with the mechanic $2.2k for a N/A and has done about 62k

Surely that's way over price.

From what he has told me i have no compression in 5 cylinders and the valves are rooted, coils need to be replaced

could prob find an RB25det package on here for that...

Jesus Christ this turned into one expensive bloody weekend

thats only if you go rb25det

cause the computer is diff to NA one, will need the turbo brakes...at least at the front and then you have your engine

it could be done cheap if you sourched parts here and there, but a lot of farking around

then you will most likely need a diff to cause the na one wont haddle the power, which is why i suggested the k frame just unbolt the old one bolt up the new one and you will have 5 stud hubs to

For no compression in you car will be the valves, broken or whatever they always come up as 0 compression

doesnt mean that the bottom half of the engine is damaged, could just be the head needs new valves/machining etc

but you wont know until it gets pulled apart

Forgot what the town was called, but we stopped to fill up on snacks

The town is called Mansfield *sigh* Sadly, I live in it. I wish I knew you guys were in town, I would have pretended my VRX was a skyline and snuck into the cruise :P

@ Ashneel, if you come up on the next cruise, you can check out your old TH hahaha :happy: . Still running! Although, it's changed owners now.

    • You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...
    • Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?
    • I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.
    • Hi, i’m making Vag coil loom for rb25det, can anyone confirm the wire guage i’m using for power supply in diagram is enough for supply not too small for loom? For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?
    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?
