How much am I looking to spend on a running rb25

Post by **aznromeox** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

I just want an estimate what I'm looking to spend on a rb25det into my '90 s13..... Just interested. I'm trying to have it done around winter. I have about $4000 cash and a '87 bmw 325 i got free worth $3000...... so?

my friends and i were estimating this, with everything as long as you do the wiring yourself and dont get screwed when you have the driveshaft made.

it comes out to about 1000-1500$ + cost of engine.

of course this includes mounts, clutch, driveshaft, service manual (r33 and the 240's) fluids and a few hundred bucks for miscelanious stuff

you can do it a lot cheaper if you use the crossmember and take your chances with the clutch that comes with the clip.

Mine cost :Clip:$2500Shipping:$800Drive shaft:$400Fuelpump:$150The rest was all fine from the clip I got. It had only 30000 Km on it. I used the KA radiator and fan and also the RB fan. Wired them to a switch inside the car. I also used the SOHC Steering lines and just wound the high pressure line up inside the engine compartment below the intake tubes. I dont see any reason that if you are going to do this yourself it should cost much more than that. If you need help let me know.

what spark plugs u using with ur rb25??

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

I used the ones that came with it. I figured that it was such a low milage car and I cleaned & regapped them. They seem to work perfect.

Post by **aznromeox** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

What lines or steering lines would i need for my 1990 240sx.... I know the steering system is a little different, does that need to be changed?

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

You can use the lines you have, you just need to move the reservoir to the drivers side and have a high pressure line made up. I used the RB reservoir and turned the bracket inside out.

jonpowell- where did you get your clip from and for how much? that is low miles!

Post by **mmerritt2** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

my fault i didn't look close enough..... your price is up there..... sorry!

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

When you look at what I've got so far, I got a potential 12-13 second car for under 5Grand, Including buying the car!! I dont really think that is up there. My clip included a 3" Blitz cat-back exhaust, all body panels and lights (which I've already sold) in pristine condition, 2 transmissions a driveshaft(R33 RB25 Auto) , Everything you would need to put together either manual or automatic. Even came with a good clutch!

Post by **mmerritt2** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

yeah, but where did you get your clip from?

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

I got it from a place called RS Imports, they are no longer carrying RB clips, but they do get alot of other motors in all the time. Their email is [email protected]. The guys name is Ryan. Seems to be a good guy to deal with.

Post by **mmerritt2** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

You may have sent it to the guy selling the clip, not to me....Sorry.

Post by **mmerritt2** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

yeah, i think i did....do you happen to know where he is located? (the guy selling the clip?) thanks...and sorry again!

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

Detroit I think is what he said in the thread I linked to previously. The clip looks like it is an auto but he says it is manual. I couldn't see the clutch cylinder in the picture though.

Post by **mmerritt2** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

detroit's not bad either...... i hope it is a manual!!! it is a clean looking clip! thanks for your help!

Post by **JonPowell** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 2:17 pm

Here is a pic of the clip, the guy says that it is manual but it looks like auto, I cant see the clutch master cylinder in the picture
