Hey guys, my funds have dried up for my 30 build but I got a free rb25de + manual and am going to drop it in my sil Im planning on bolting all my turbo gear and hope for the best.

ECU is going to be a z32, Nistune and will get it tuned. What would you say would be the safest power I can get from it? Id be pretty happy with 240 - 260hp.

Detonation will be your main concern with a high comp turbo engine. If you can get on e85 you may fine, or water/meth.... Keep the boost on the low side for longevity as the cylinder pressures will be massive.

It might be a good idea to swap to some decent head bolts and an MLS gasket while it's out of the car if you plan to push it hard.

Nah dont plan to push it hard but then again, whats considered pushing it? Id be happy with 230hp tbo. I know its a non turbo motor so im not expecting crazy figures. Anything would be better than the non turbo ca18 thats in there atm lol

Wow. How can you go from planning an rb2530 build to being happy with 230hp? :)

I just want it to be safe but if I can get it to be safe with even more power, than thats ok to :P Removed the old shitty CA last night will start putting the 25 in tonight. Its to freakin hot to do it during the day :(

Also, anyone who has done a rb in a sil kept the A\C? I love my A\C.

Yeah not using stock turbo. Will def get it tuned and might look into e85. I dont drive much so I dont mind the extra fuel consumption.

I cannot see the sense in fitting an iron block inline six for 230 horsepower , upset the chassis balance and cooling system for something than can be done with a twoish litre four cylinder . Still can't work out why people hate KA24 twin cam engines . Good enough for Nissan .

Maybe because KAs are ute and Bluebird (yuck!) motors.

ditch the RB if all you want is 230hp and just put an SR20 in it. That will make that power pretty damned easily

Putting an Rb into a Silvia is a nightmare as keeping it cool is difficult. An SR is no problems though

I have, kept the AC. I reused the CA condenser and fitted the lines to the RB20 compressor.

However, keeping the car cool is another thing. There's not enough airflow so each time the AC went on, the water temp shot up.

In the end, ended up ditching the AC and set the fans to push instead of pull.

well guys no point in this thread anymore as the timing belt snapped and bent valves. Shit happens. I got the engine for free anyway but still f**ked...back to my original plan now. Time to save for my forgies and finally finish my 25/30 build.

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
