what boost level is the limit that you should go before requiring forgies?

does this also taking into account how many revs the engine is going to do.

trying to draw up a budget for my engine rebuild and want to make it bullet proof but on a budget.

the particular form of induction i am hoping to use is good for 20 psi max, 1,000 cfm of flow and up to 680hp.

its gonna be $$$ everywhere i look, i then need to look at injectors what to get there, bigger fuel pump and on and on.

it will be fun though, and i wanna go on the dyno next year at MAS!

slap a set of arias pistons with your GTR rods.

If you want, when im done i'll send you a estimate costing of everything based on what ive just had done to mine.

yours sounds similar

R31Nismoid, I'd be interested in that aswell if possible. I'm another one on the same path :P

Hi Phat Mr30,

Theres no set limit where you will require forged pistons as a good tune will keep a motor intact until the power is to great for the rods.

If your looking at making over 300Kw at the wheels then you will also need to be changing the rods to forged items.

As for the headgaskets I have run myn at 22 psi for over a year and had no problems completley standard motor once again its the tune that plays a huge part..

The RB26 rods are stronger then 25's and The arias pistons are great for your application and cheap

any particular reason for this?... i know it is a good idea...but do u know of the limits of a standard rb25 rod?.... do u know of someone possibly that spat one?...im interested in y u say this as it is ~$1500 extra especially if ur not going to be needing it? :(

HI Nv033,

There’s no real way of saying what’s the limit of a standard RB25 because it depends on the driving conditions. Obviously excessive RPM all the time and high power outputs is going to cause an issue. I’m making just over 320rwkw and I’m not really keen to lean on the motor anymore with the standard rods that’s a personnel thing I don’t want to be buying a new block and rebuilding my motor just yet. If your willing to stretch it to the point of blowing and then purchasing the new rods and block that’s your decision. I know Martin Donnan has had a lot of experience with RB25's and he says anything over 300rwkw is pushing it as Steve-sst just said though he has not seen any problems at this power level except a rod bolt and I agree with going the ARP bolts. But I think everybody would agree that much over 320rwkw the 25's days are limited in standard form.

Personally I would decide what power output your looking for and what you want to use the car for occasional drag or drifting ? If its over the 320rwkw that you want then change to RB26 rods. Let me tell you the difference between 290- 320rwkw is not really noticeable on the road because you will still be sliding all over it. :D

So it’s your decision

BR,

WOW! :rofl: Thats sweet 9000 ? And it was still pulling all the way ?

thats very impressive..

:wassup:

my factory RB25det rods looked in perfect condition when we pulled the motor down ... it was making 330rwkw and had a redline of 9000rpm which I used quite frequently, I've heard only good things about the venolia pistons

I got venolia pistons in my RB25 and have had no problems..

I got a rebuild kit from hi octane racing for just under 4k with venolia forged pistons, forged conrods, new nissan engine gasket kit, tomei head gasket..

I then added tomei adjustable exhaust cam, ARP rod bolts and head stud bolts..

Can someone tell me the part number for the ARP rod bolts to use ??

 

If there is a difference between GTS-t rod - bolts and GTR rod - bolt, please advise.

 

Thanks in advance.

SR20 ARP bots are the same for RB series motors, They will work with GTS-T rods and GTR Rods. The only problem is they come in a pack of 4 so you have 2 bolts left over.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
