completely stock internals? balancer? cams? etc? 7000-7500. properly balanced built engine with aftermarket valve springs 8000-8500 any more than that and you really want to go with solid lifters and a serious setup with porting larger valves, better valve springs again. the list could go on to around 11,000 if you have deep enough pockets.

You wanted a food daily driver that could be used for drift etc... this was 2 days ago.

Now you want to use a turbo capable of 440rwkw that requires a good 25,000 to support it.

Two ends of the scale dude - pick one.

Way too big for anything street driven and I wouldn't build an engine to suit a turbo anyway .

Big is just big and big isn't necessarily better . Far better off with an GT3076R if you want to stay with a mechanically std RB25 . If you wanted to build something build an RB30 and if you want something easy bolt a GT3582R onto it .

Just looking at the options mate this is all stuff I have lying around I don't have the same knowledge about jappers as I do about LS1's and if you knew me mate you would know that spending 25k on an engine setup is a cheap combo for my previous spendings on other cars.

Well if you've come from big capacity engines then I reckon an RB30 would be virtually a necessity because these smaller ones don't make gratifying torque off boost and its not like a Skyline weighs half of what an LS1 powered Commodore does .

I can relate to a well healed fella that bought himself a brand new locally delivered R32 GTR in the early 90's . Hated it , absolutely loathed the thing because he came from V8's and GTRs are heavy and Camry like off boost . It wouldn't pull the upper gears at pedestrian revs like his eights did so he flogged it off .

Anyway I reckon a twin cam RB30 with a reasonable CR would be the way to go because more cubes means the easiest foot pounds .

I don't know if an LS1 fits in a Skyline bay but geared right it would give some of the turbo ones a real big hurry up .

Not too big at all, after all its not lag, its foreplay ;) .

Shoot anna a pm, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/user/30020-msnismo/

She built a t04z equipped 25. She was actually a great help to me deciding whether to go the z or the gt35 (the 35 won out in the end).

She will help you, I would post up her build thread, but i cant seem to find it.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
