Update on my RB25 project.

[DETurbine]

Well here she goes...I just got a few parts in and thought I would post a few pictures of the update on all that. Greddy intake manifold and Greddy fuel rail.I am still in the process of polishing the intake manifold and will be polishing the compressor housing and ceramic coating the turbine housing as well just like I did with the exhuast manifold. Haven't worked on it that much, but will be putting it back into the car in the next few months and wiring up the MS and then tuning from there. I will keep you all updated. Here are some more recent pictures:

that's a clean motor my friend. I think I could eat dinner off of it. Very nice work, good luck with the project.

[Coolwhip]

i love it, by the the way are you gonna be using a timing belt cover uptop?

[s14 2510's]

Nice cant wait to see it in the car.

That thing looks incredible. I've always looked up to you on the web boards for ideas because you're so damn thorough. It's good to have people like you on here that take their time and aren't too anxious to get the thing swapped in. Okay I'm done kissing ***, but that those pictures are probably the best I've seen next to ones of the RB26 going into a 280Z with custom twin turbo exhaust manifold. Continue to keep us posted!

looks extremely nice man, very very good work! cant wait for your new vids once that baby's in.

[midnightsliding]

looks great , good build how muh power are u looking to make? and how much PSI are u goign to run? hope the tuning comes along well.

[DETurbine]

Thanks for the comments so far guys...they have been great. I will keep everyone updated on the progress.

I will be using the timing belt cover...I might modify it slightly...but have not yet decided 100% on that.

Thanks alot for the comment Darius...I do remember you from 240sxforum I believe. I just like to do things right the first time and make it look as clean as I can, even if that means a little more time and money. How is yours doing?

I hope to have around 500-600hp for now until I upgrade the turbo, exhuast manifold and a few other small things. I am well aware things don't always go as planned so that is why I say Hope....lol. PSI probably will be around 23psi+ on the 61mm turbo.

Yeah I try to make my rounds on the boards. I'm the same way with the swap. I changed out every moving part except the internals and oil pump. It's taken me a lot longer than expected mostly because I have to spend time with my girlfriend and parts are slow to ship. I got a whiteline sway bar today so I'll install that and my GT Spec exhaust this weekend and start in on the wiring. The lower harness is cake, I just have to do more research on the upper harness. Other than that, I should be running by March at the latest.

Its looking good! Very clean! What engine management will you be using?

[RB20DETodd]

Lookin good! very clean i plan n doing a similar build with my 20 when i blow it, nice back drop adds to the effect

[Phat_Optimo]

Stock cams?Everything else looks good though.

[Need2Boost]

Looks good. How much did you pay for the manifold and turbine coating? Thanks

[spnfed]

wow looks real nice keep up the good work

[Kansei240sx]

That is EFFIN sweet my friend! Makes me glad i took a similar route with my motor as well, as far as the stripping down the engine and cleaning it up and replacing everything on it minus the turbo and exhuast manifold.

Wow....i agree, looks good!...and I'm also going the same route, I'll be doing the same this winter. here's my mods.(pretty close.....lol)....some of the stuff I have on the car and some of it is in my garage.

I am actually going to be running the Mega Squirt with the EDIS6 setup for the ignition. It is very easy to use and works just as good as the other average stand alones for only $350-400.

Stock cams?Everything else looks good though.

Yeah I am running stock cams...nothing on the head has been touched for now. When I throw some cams in the whole valve train will be built with it.

Looks good. How much did you pay for the manifold and turbine coating? Thanks

Manifold cost me $60 to ceramic coat it, turbine I am not sure of yet....since I have not done that just yet.

That's a nice setup. You will have to let me know how it all goes. I am going to see how well this setup of mine interacts with the tuning and if it needs more then I will be upgrading probably to a larger 60mm series turbo or might go GT40/42.
