I don't know how many of you skyline nuts would know this , But the 2.8 Turbo diesel Patrol shares the same bottom end and gearbox and bolts directly onto the engine mounts and straight into the box , And my 2.8 has 250,000 on the clock and runs 16 psi of boost and a diesel chip , and they generally don't last that long . So i'm thinking of chucking a NEO into the Troll . Can you guy's help my out with a fuel pump , injectors , turbo , Ecu and so fourth. I'm looking to make 300 - 350 ponies on 33's and 2.2 Tons of truck , who can help me? And approx pricing?

I see this is your very first post on SAU - welcome.

You will be quickly advised to search the forum.

Here's a helping hand to discussion on the same subject:

You want a 30 bottom end, you do.

The extra capacity will be well worth it in a 2 ton plus rig.

Even with the low gearing etc, i would have to agree here!

25/30 for you!

If you had to engineer it I'd do an RB30ET to get the numbers right , actually I think pov pak GQ STs had an RB30S (NA carby) std .

Anyway with an RB30ET you get to have an Australian legal engine option - and then if one morning you woke up and found it'd grown a twin cam head in the night - whos to know ? Engine number stays the same .

You're talking about a truck thats 800 Kg more than a 1400 kg R33 Skyline so every low down Nm of torque is a god send

A .

So obviously I'm a noob to this skyline stuff (God forbid I drive a 2012 lancer daily :0 ) , so does the 30 bottom end just bolt straight into the 25's head ? But I keep all the top end accessorys from the 25 ?

Not exactly that easy! There is a whole section dedicated to that topic i believe! If its not something you are familiar with i dont recommend you have a go!

I've helped mates with multiple engine swaps , from blown 3.0Ls to 4.2s , rb30 carby into an rb30 from a Vl with the turbo , up to 6.0L Vortects into a shorty patrol , I have the mechanical no how , just not the Rb series knowledge hah.

Its not likely to be a straight swap, that is what i meant :)

Ye hah :D , the Rb series seems so swap and play honestly it's ridiculous , but honestly I think I'll keep it simple honestly , all rb25 neo , but a bigger fuel pump and injectors and turbo when it needs it , 90% of my 4wding is sand dunes honestly , we don't have any steep rock tracks or anything hah. Limiter bashing up dunes at night time in a huge sand bowl with 20 cars is about it ;)

RB's do not like prolonged limiter bashing :P

Aww :( only on special occasions then! Do you know what turbo would be ideal for 300 horses and early spool? And what size injectors?

Oh dear... This has been covered SO many times that i dont know what answer to give you lol...

High flow and a set of 1000s cheapies will do it!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
