Engineering, front brakes, nistune, injectors, turbo & splitfires would need to be done as well...

More cost effective to get the 20 singing.



For someone who's owned his 32 for like 100 years you really are a tight arse...

$2000 engine/loom + $1200 gearbox + $400 brakes + $600 engineering + $400 splitfires + $1500 turbo + $600 injectors + $500 nistune + $500 tune + $600 hoses/misc

Not going to spend $8600 when I can get my car running for $2k and re-use my turbo/injectors/splits/nistune :)

Why do you need Splitfires, Turbo, Injectors, Nistune, Tune... It's going to be faster than your 20 in every way in 100% stock form... 

230kw with my current setup vs. a 170kw stock rb25.

Even so, it will cost me $5k to drop in a stock rb25 setup as opposed to keeping my 230kw for $2k

My 33 GTST did 199rwkw with an exhaust lol. Even then that would be LEAPS AND BOUNDS above a 230kw RB20. It would be leaps and bounds above a 290kw RB20 in comparison. Peak power means shit when you have to wait till 8k to use it on the street.

Gotta look at the long term benefits and potential for future upgrade. Also shaving nearly 6-7+ years off the engine age. Resale value will be slightly increased. General reputation amongst VWLers etc.

Legit the only thing that matters though

Yah but yours is ded... Most likely because it's been forced into making 230kw and it kurt cobained in retaliation.

Stop grieving, start making 2.5L torque...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
