Hi guys,

Just quickly.....

I have my engine in pieces and was going to use the stock pistons again because they were in great condition... I now want to put forgies in.. I use my car for work and need this engine back in one piece ASAP!!

WHERE the hell can I find someone who makes pistons for the RB25DET on the net????

Do the pistons for the RB26 fit the RB25?? I'm sure they have the same bore...

Any help would be great..

Thanks guys....

I'm looking and looking on the net... I'll check out those guys you noted...

I've found that Weisco make them but they are $960 american... sound a bit pricy.. I know I can get them cheaper then that..

I personally wouldn't go forged pistons UNLESS the power I was making requires forged rods.

Stock pistons providing the comp ratio is good (no higher than 8.5:1) is reliable, as always it depends on the tune, forged pistons wont protect you from a bad tune/detonation.

thanks for the offers.. I've actually found some Weisco forgies... (private sale, new in box... $900.. Bargain!!

The reason I'm getting forgies is because I'm building the block up for higher boost and I don't want to have to strip the block again so while I'm rebuilding the motor, I might as well do it properly....

Thanks for the advice though guys...

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
