I just sold my 98 Sr powered 240, and for my next project I am looking into RB25 power

I got $7000 for the engine I'd like to be able to get the folowing done to it

motor set, Downpipe, Exhaust, FMIC, Bov, Radiator, fans, clutch, wiring, turbo timer, gauges, boost controller, fuel pump, mounts.

Anything else I need?

Can you guys point me to some install threads? Fitment and what not.what about HP upgrades. Basically an RB guide for dummies

Thanks, Scott :withstup

(and I thought I was past this)

Yeah do a search on the forum and all will be clear cept for the HP one. 60-1/T3 356hp on stock injectors at 13psi of boost. He is selling his the turbo setup right now. Some other guy with standalone hit 533hp but killed a ring. Motor is been built or already is. Mckinney has all the stuff you need just Call em or Email em.

I will throw out two recommendations for motors/clips:

I bought mine from http://www.dragdriftautox.com, and had no issues.

Also follow dekands banner, that is the cleanest clip I have ever seen. (he got it from RS Imports) You could eat off that clip!

wiring should come with the motorset and ecu also. don't forget driveshaft. It really depends on what your motorset comes with or what has gotten damaged.

possibly spark plugs, timing belts, h2o pump thermostat, etc. list could go on. it also depends on how much power you want at the end. For example, you have power mods but what about lsd? It is really an open ended question. look around here and you'll find a lot of helpful info. Good luck.
