rb26 engines i have seen for around 4k. i have been told for a bare motor u might be able to get one for 2->2.5k???(no turbos, manifolds, wiring etc) an rb30 bottom end would be a cheaper option and give more torque but rev not as high without some crank work afaik.

Rebuilds all depend on what parts and how far you want to go.

Best bet would be to call up some workshops and tell them what power your chasing and get them to recommend what parts will suit and price it'll be.

280 plus kw....well it depends, is there anything wrong with your bottom end at the moment? An rb30 bottom end has proven results and wont be as expensive as buying a 25 bottom end and then building it from there. However, if you have an ok rb25 bottom end, then you can build that up using forged pistons and crack&pressure tested, shot peened rods....or forged rods if you so desire. Expect anywhere from 5-7k, but like jamie said, it all depends on what parts you want and how "bulletproof" you want to make it.

whats involved in building an rb30 bottom end do i need a new head or does the standard head bolt straight on how about gearbox does it bolt straight up etc etc

Try that champ... 2500+ posts of everything you could ever want to know about the RB30 conversion...

in case your lazy and cant be bothered reading that thread. No you dont need a new head, and yes the box bolts up...it's a relatively simple procedure that most workshops are well and truly accustomed to by now.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
