Hey guys,

Thinking of selling my RB25 i have built to get myself some cash, originally i got this motor out of an R33 in pretty good condition, but to get it up to really good condition i had the head reco'd at the cost of around $600 which included new inlet valve guides and stem seals, the exhaust guides had already been done, while the head was apart i also cleaned up the unnecessary lumps in the exhaust ports.

It all went back together with the following parts:

Performance Springs valve springs and retainers - $300

Camtech 272 Duration, 9mm lift cams - $1200

Tomei adjustable Cam Gears - $300 (not 100% sure i want to sell the cam gears yet)

ARP Head Studs - $150

New Durapro VRS Gasket Kit - $400

ACL Race Series big end bearings - $70

Also to go with this engine is a non-genuine Greddy Front facing plenum which i have gasket matched the runners to the head myself (needed doing really badly), and i have a billet fuel rail kit for this which allows the use of top feed injectors.

Together these cost around $500 and for the right price i can include some GTR Injectors aswell.

It also has a second hand Stainless highmount turbo manifold and Turbosmart 38mm Gate if needed, valued at around $500 for both items together.

As the engine sits it is currently a bare long motor, ready to have manifolds and accessories bolted on and put into use.

All up including the original price of the engine this setup owes me around $4500 but im willing to sell it for alot less than that so i thought i would see what kind of interest i get.

I can also throw in another r33 turbo bottom end with 1 melted piston for parts...

Also i should add that these cams are to suit an RB20 which eliminates the VCT, so this setup will drop straight into an R32 GTS-T using existing coilpacks, crank angle sensor, etc..

Or alternatively it would still drop into an R33 with minimal alterations.

I will try and upload some photos of the engine at some point.

Reason for sale is i sold the 32 GTS-T i built this for.

For any questions contact me on here or SMS me on 0408 117 171.

Cheers, Daniel.

Here are some pics of the build :)

The comparison photo of the 2 cam lobes is one of the 272's and a stock rb25 cam.

Also the turbo pictured has been sold and is not included.

May consider swaps and also may consider seperating the head from the block if someone is looking to build a forged motor and needs a head to put on it, this would also be a good head for a 25/30 build having no vct and bigger cams to help with flow for the extra capacity in the bottom end :)

with the cams, springs, gears and covers, it owes me around $2500 but would take $1800, the cams alone were $1200, would be happy to keep the cam gears and cam covers and sell it for $1500

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
