Beautiful car and great setup!

That is one majorly busted engine! I'm not sure you could blame the enlarged bolt holes or not. The crack runs through one of the holes but whether it originated from the hole or just ran through the path of least resistance which is the hole. Very hard to say. The vast majority of RB's floating around are far less than 1200HP so there may not be a lot of relevant experience on whether they crack at that point regularly. I've only seem RB's crack in the middle of the block and underneath at the sump mounting face. Yours is certainly an impressive effort (but obviously not appreciated!).

Good luck with it. Some of the sand racer Patrol guys over there might be able to shed some light on it as they're running similar power to yours.

Hi ZEEKH2B,

I can't speak form experience, but is it possible to drill and tap the head studs further down into the block?

This would spread the load across more block area (with more material above the intersection of stud to block) and possibly reduce the flex in the block.

You would need to find/make longer studs, but since the block is the weakest point at the moment, not the studs, this may be worth investigating.

The guys at RIPS in New Zealand play with some big HP RB's, they may have come across this issue previously.

Hope it helped.

Heya PN-MAD,

I was more thinking that if the same thread was moved further down in the block, it'd have more material above it to reduce flex.

If the thread was longer it'd spread the load over more area. So if the thread pulled through, I'd go for a longer thread for sure. What do you think? Just throwing around some ideas :)

I guess it's much of a muchness...

Furthermore, if the thread was moved/extended lower into the block it'd also have less stress on the thin cylinder/stud wall from combustion.

I'm far from experienced, but I guess at a certain level it just becomes R&D. Unless you can get some info out of the big builders (RIPS Maatouks etc).

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
