Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

So all the trouble of boring out a 20 block to fit a 25 head for what?

Its still a 20 head just with a 26 crank and SR20 rods from what I remember of them. The bores are way different 20 vs 25 they're like 80mm in the 20 and 86 in the 25 lol.

So a stroked 20 essentially? Still a dirty 20 then Martin.

Yep essentially that. So you still have to deal with the shit head on the 20.

I can understand the point of it if you want to run in a class that requires original engine, makes sense but you could probably go just as well spending the money on a good turbo set up for it etc.

Run the pinny in street class instead?

That's what I thought, few decent bolt-ons and you're good to go.

That would require registering it with a full weld in cage.

why dafaq you wanna do that???

May as well just put a 26 in it

Bit more capacity, not going to cost that much more than rebuilding a 25 bottom end, I can still use all my bolt ons, etc.

26 into a 31 is a multi million dollar excersize, and I'd basically have to start from scratch. Why the f*ck would I want to do that?

Why? a 60 with hydraulic lifters. I still say 25/30.

See above.

25/30 is a possible option but will probably need a bigger turbo.

Put down the crack pipe and just get a 26?

See above.

If thats the case I'd just stick with getting another 25 into it. extra money spent on the 26 crank would be better spent on tyres and entry fees.

The difference between the two is only 70cc anyway i doubt it will make that much difference

    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto 
    • Please let me know if anyone has seen my black Nissan Skyline 350GT-8 taken from Robe Terrace, Medindie, SA suspect taken between end of March to early April 2025! Have called impound yards & tow truck operators, no where to be found while I was away overseas! Plates DXPRS1 custom dark green on yellow back. Has a rear lip boot spoiler on the back as well.
