Don't forget the $5k + that you will need to drop on brakes, tyres and suspension'.

But everyone on facebook groups just want loads of power on cheap tyres, stock LSD so they have a reason to whinge about no traction and how when they roll into 3rd their wheels spin.

If you can settle for less power, a low 300kw rb25 is a lot cheaper to build/run reliably than a 400kw one.

You can even skip the whole rebuild the engine drama if you want to (head gasket is probably a good idea along with better valve springs if you are running decent boost), lots of cooling (engine and oil) and stick to e85 or add wmi for safety when going harder on it.


This. Achievable without going e85 ? I think i can live with 270 rwkw :) and a long lasting stock motor!

I can't see why not. My setup was the same (excluding forged internals), it was so long ago, but I think it was about 270-280rwkw with the GT35r on a chinese manifold at about 16psi.

Lasted for 2 or so years before the engine upgrade. I thrashed the crap out of it too, but maintained it very well.

No dramas with the engine itself when my builder stripped it. The only issue we had was a crack in the manifold which was to be honest, expected.

Not to be a dick, but seriously, have a search on this forum. There is so much information at your fingertips. It was a goldmine when I was in your shoes.

Hmm wait. .. Im already at that power goal. I meant to ask if it's possible for the stock motor to last without an internal upgrade at that power level without going e85.


Yes, but e85 makes for a decent amount of extra safety for not a lot of extra effort/cost.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
