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

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.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.

      Im really confused if that's what he's trying to say. (brain hurts, sitting in darkened room staring at too many computer monitors right now...)   So he's saying during his build, they modified the oil pan, and instead of taking photos to show us how he had to do it, he posted a link elsewhere to a video, and now wants us to tell him the right pan he could swap to, or a custom/aftermarket pan he could use instead?   Kapr, is that YouTube channel yours / that video yours?

      I think both of you missed the actual point of the thread and question asked by Kapr: The video is just an example and not his channel.

      Clickbait title, made it sound like you wanted information, instead you just wanted free views on your YouTube channel.   No issue doing that, but instead of making new topics, create a build thread, and you can post the YouTube videos in there. Added to it, people can then build further discussion around your build.   This sort of creation of a topic like you have is like what scammers and spammers do on other websites like FB "oh look at this cool thing, just click this link and go elsewhere". Prank doesn't need to pay the fees when a google hit finds your topic and someone is looking for that info, just for that person to be immediately driven away to a larger platform that doesn't support the enthusiasts here.

      I don't know if @MBS206was suggesting that you were trying to drive traffic to your/a Youtube channel, but what is certainly clickbait about that video is that the content is sorta....non-content. Because, we (ie, established RB engine savvy people) all know that the pan rails are different between RWD and AWD RB blocks and that there are long known solutions for fitting AWD blocks into RWD chassis, etc etc. I mean, like Matt, I didn't even bother to watch the video.
