forgot to mention im from south africa.want to do a rb25/30 at a latre stage.whats the difference between a r33 rb25de and arb25de neo.from what i've read the neo got smaller combustion chambers then the r33 rb25de so the comp should be high enough if you use the rb25 neo pistons

was thinking of doing that.how hard is it to fit a vh45 in a r33.i've read john's thread bt it dnt say if he had to mod a few things to fit it n most info u get is how to fit it into 300 zx n s13/14s n not much into skylines

It would be a pretty similar affair. Should be easier than a Silvia I would think as the bay would be bigger to start with.

should be an awesome car seeing what john done with his one but back to topic can my rb20e ecu run a rb30e.i'll be using everything on the rb20,inlet manifold,injectors,dissy and the exhaust manifold.i think it would run fine.im mostly after the extra touque of the rb30 till i upgrade later.

i think it should cz the rb30 in south african r31s ran with 21 deg timing.dnt knw if the injectors are the same size.it mite pick up a few extra kw cz the r33 rb20 inlet manifold seem to have bigger runners then the rb 30

Ive got an rb30e in my r33 and it smashes the pants off rb25de`s

the torque is good. Not so great on fuel tho

Engine mounts will be the same as the difference is in the block height

in terms of managment its best to use an rb30e loom and re wire it to suit the r33

Ebay has some cheap turbo kita for rb30e`s if u wanted more power later on

if u are serious pm me and ill send u some pics of my conversion and the wiring

contact nistune in australia who will be able to "chip" your rb20e ecu to run different fuel and timing maps to suit the rb30e.

my rb30 is n.a

basic mods: GTS style extractors 6-2-1, 2.5inch cat back zorst, pod filter, advanced ignition timing running premium fuel.

car has a 4.46:1 LSD, that helps ^.^ i dragged off a WRX to 100 km/h the other night

the car realistically has around 100 rwkw, with a cheap turbo kit it would have close to 170 rwkw

nice.im from south africa so my best bet will be to get a dastek piggyback ecu.currently got a pod n 57mm straight through exhaust with a rear can box.im making 85kw on da wheels.my best 1/4 mile is a 17.5 lol.with 100 on da wheels n more torque i mite get in the 16s

skit it will be hard for me to get the parts.i will be upgrading to a rb30det at a later stage just want sum extra power to move the heavy body.chris how high do u revyour rb30.seeing as the rb20e has a higher rev limiter i'll to let the piggyback ecu limit it to 6100rpm

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
