hey all..

im planing on rebuilding my rb25det to forged internals..

the car see's track time every now and then. so want something that can handle revs etc etc.

i have read throught Nytsky's build thread and also looked at spools website and a couple of others..

now what im not sure on is what parts i need to gather before i send them and the engine off to get built..

i know pistons, rods, bolts, gaskets...

im looking at spool or nitto rods, cp pistons, genuine gasket kit, arp bolts ..

are these good? what else would i need to see my engine to be reliable at the track..

i want to have the rear oil drian.

also looking at the nitto oil pump item..

any work should be done to the head?

should i use nissan bearings or other?

and around the 350rwkw mark and possilbe e85..

and to take some revs :)

i have atm ready to go on, plazmaman plenum, tomei poncams, splitfires, gt3076 .82 with ext gate, nistune ecu, z32, rb26 rocker covers and mines cam baffles, cam gears..

any further info/advice would be good..

was also thinking of doing what my mate did..

specs:

Fully balanced

Arp main studs

Arp head studs

Acl bearings

Acl 1.2mm head gasket

Ross/acl pistons

Argo rods

Adj cam gears

its really all the small stuff like oil restrictors, head porting, harmonic balancers etc..

just want it all safe for the track.

ATI or Ross harmonic balancer

Larger sump

Oil feed restrictors x2

Extended oil pump drive

New water pump

If you haven't already you should look into larger radiators and oil coolers for reliability on the track.

that being said if the current engine still works why fix what isnt broken.

If you aren't sure about e85 yet don't buy injectors.

Once you decide what fuel to use, buy them then.

For everything else if you do a search around you'll see it's pretty much all been covered before.

NYTSKY's list would be a good place to start

yeah i have 740cc already...

and yeh his list is good but he wasnt tracking the car from what i could see..

so if there is anything else i would need ontop of his to help with a track scenario..

so my mates engine i posted up, from what i read all i would need to change would be the pistons and rods to a stronger unit for higher revs and add a blancer, sump and oil restrictors..

sound about right?

From my experience you will be pushing shit uphill with that turbo to make that sort of grunt.

Make sure you use good valve springs, Port match everything in your airflow system from the throttle body to the dump.

Balance every rotating part to within an inch of its life. oversize exhaust valves and a decent valve cut.

GL with it mate.

Red R are building it Noel, they have already built a couple of RB25's recently that have made this power with that turbocharger on E85 or race fuel.

One of them saw over 3 bar of boost for two laps due to a blown off wastegate hose which would have also ran it very lean and the owner admits to "giving it an absolute caning" with no engine trouble at all.

Im sure it will be quite well built. :cheers: Paul does not cut any corners as he, being a drag racer, is still not aware what a corner even is.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
