Which one? BA, BF or FG

BA BF = $100 for a long

FG = $150 for a long motor 

My mate at work is constantly bending my ear in all things Barra

Not bad for a base that is so capable and easy to build for small change

yeah its ridiculous how cheap they are. and you can get silly power from a stock block

That was my thinking when I bought the billet block, yes it costs more to begin with but it wasnt much more compared to buying another cast block and doing everything to strengthen it properly and I still would have had a weaker block at the other end 

It's really unfortunate IMO that billet means it's no longer really streetable. I want an engine that you can count 10 seconds and start driving as long as ambient temps are over 5C. I'm also not super wedded to 8mm thick liners or anything like that, my power requirements are comically low and covered by stock block but it's really everything else that keeps me up at night.

I wouldn’t spend 10 of thousands of dollars to build an engine and hit the key and rip my foot off the clutch the second it fired no matter what material the block was made from, I’d warm it up either way so it makes no difference. I’ve seen plenty of billet blocks driven on the street now and know that I’ve made the right choice

Be nice to have a new cast block I'd say.  Mine been 600hp for 8 years with stock R33 GTR block i brought from the wreckers for $400 and got it scanned etc.

Almost time for a refresh with 50,000km+ on it :).

Kids have slowed down the KM's on it now days though.

and found the important bit

 

Q: what’s the price point?
A: Don’t hold us to it but our target price is around 8k for the 1500hp version and 10k for the integrated main cap version with 4 bolt main option 3000hp.
Note: We aim to include main bolts and ALL machine work to spec for a ready to build torque plate finished solution.

next update

 

On paper, this would be epic

4 bolt mains

better oil drains

90mm + bore 

thicker deck 

 

PRP are seriously leading the world in RB’s.  From where Herman started to where he’s taken that brand is phenomenal. Australia is at the absolute forefront of investment in a 30+ year platform!

Not the same engine, but good talk about billet, and the issues and requirements for building big HP alloy blocks that can survive on the street, well, survive for a while anyway without needing pre warming the block

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
