Hey guys,

I want to start my 2530 build next year and was wondering if any if you had good bad or indifferent experiences with engine builders in brissy.

I want a very well built 2530 with all the oiling mods so it's a very reliable 500kw or so for drag use.

A mate of mine went to Godzilla and said they told him the don't specialise in hybrids. I was thinking them but now not sure?

Mercury? Spot on? Any suggestions.

i am getting chilton engineering to do all my machine work, as that who erd recommended me to use as they did all the machine work for all engines that dan built.

what work you having done? forged or cast pistons? what clearances are the piston to bore are you going for?

Did they have much to say about the process they use etc?

Dan owned erd, many say he is one of the best engine builders around.

Dan is assembling my rb30 25. Forged piston with upgraded pins, spool rods, he is building it to be able to handle 800rwhp.

Chilton is doing all the prep and machining.

its funny cause I went to Chilton engineering about my leaking manifold issues and showed him the manifold, he tested it with his straight edge and said not to bother machining it cause its hardly anything and it would be fine, but obviously it wasn't.. really loosing faith in these engineering places..

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
