Ok here is the deal:

I live in Sweden and have a 33 4dr that i currently building a 30/26 with about 550-600whp on E85, so with that said i allready have a high power RB in progress.

But i've also have a Nissan 180zx, or as you call them silvia s12 and gazelle, currently with a ca18et sitting in it.

The thing is that i have a rb25det sitting in the garage, and have got my hands on a NA head with cams and NA pistons.

I have a thing for NA engines and thinking about swaping the pistons and head on my 25 and going for a

NA build, i also have a set of 26 ITB's laying in the garage.

The big question is how much have been taking out of the 25na's? Im talking with cams, ITB's, etc.

When im looking at the dyno page i see mostley stock engines with pod filter and exhust, not fully built engines with cams etc.

Is there someone who have dynoed about 250whp out of a 25de ? In Sweden the BMW m50b25 engines is fairly popular and making Good power with fairly small mods.

Im well aware of the costs of a NA build and im doing it for the sound and soul of the engine, not for high power build, i just want to know best options on cams etc and best way to make 220-250 whp ish.

My basic setup in my head would be:

*25det rods

*25de pistons

*decked 25de head

*25de cams regrind or larger det cams

*rb26 ITB's

*custom exhaust manifold

*aftermarket ecu

When does the stock valves come in to restriction? Etc..

The car will recive a s13 rear subframe so i can get a 4.3 or 4.6 final gear for it, and i will roll on 195/45/15 so it's no wide tyres it will need to spin, the car will act as a street drifter so i want the nice NA sound and a fun powerband.

Any Good links to "high power 25de builds" and info would be appreciated.

There isn't much out there, especially on this forum. How would you go about fitting the RB26 ITBs on the RB25 head? I know there are adapter plates available but not so easy to find any fairly expensive.

I'm sorry my reply wasn't helpful.

The closest I could think of is Greg_R31's old build which was an NA 26/30. Was work of art. one of his posts said power wise was: 225hp/ 167.8kw at 8200rpm that was back in '11, can't remember if it went up from there. I'm pretty sure he sold it since then but thats the closest I could think to what you are asking.

Anyway have a read of his build thread. Had ITB's too. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/374496-gerg-r31s-na-rb2630de/

As for stock valves becoming a restriction my unopened 25DE+T is still putting out nearly 300rwkw on stock pistons/rods/head. Hope that helps, good luck with the build.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
