Trying to gauge some interest in my motor, not sure what its worth so im trying to sell it for less than half of what ive put into it.

Engine is Non turbo, Has RB30block with JUN oil pump and crank collar, just installed, havent done more than 200kms on it. RB25de Pistons with stock rods, Fully balanced bottom end. The head is a RB25 turbo VCT head with reground cams and oversize valves and some minor headwork done before i bought it. the engine has been rebuild and is no more than 1000-2000 km old. Has a twin throttle body intake with progressive style throttles. this has cost me over $10k

Haltech PS 1000 will be included as will be all wiring, so essentially you bolt in and go.

Will come with the custom made extractors and race pipe, these extractors were made to suit the motor, completley custom cost around $4000 if i recall correctly. they were made in the VL commodore so they will clear the skyline as the VL is more tighter. will come with the 3" side pipe which was another $500

Ill throw in the gearbox, just a standard MX5 manual with an excedy heavy duty clutch put in with new engine, so again 1000-2000kms done on it too.

There may be more ive forgotten to add. if any questions feel free to PM me.

Price $8000 neg. Car makes around 210kw at the engine so the same as a new commodore to compare and around 350nm. Located in sydney.

You mentioned you are trying to sell for less than half of what you put into it.

I'm really curious why you would sink so much money into the engine, when it really makes hardly any power?

I understand that some people want to be different, but was there any other goal? Eg particular race class that the engine would fit into?

My mate had his SV6 dynoed at the same place, he has a exhaust and CAI - and just over 30% loss was calculated. and im pretty sure i remember them saying is a 30% loss roughly depending on car. its a HUB dyno. I was hoping it would be a good allrounder on the track but you really need to rev its tits off to get it to go.... in a street car it would be mad fun, take it to the drags it pulls 14 seconds flat. i havent done better....just not trackable how it is. if it doesnt sell soon ill probably turbo it. ill see what happens first

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
