At the moment im undecided as to either, Buy an R34 GTR or just keep this car and modify it further.
If I decide to keep it I will be getting the engine internals built I would like 500 - 550 Hp.

[V8EATER]

Wicked. I would keep it if it was me. Thats a big ass sub you got in the back. There's not much room left.

[lunjiaow]

nice engine bay and mods. wheel department needs to be looked into, otherwise it looks good.

[NA_Goodness]

Im with Vincent. Looks very mild externally, but not a fan of those wheels.
Nice power, and less lag then my car!

[2LV8ETR]

The wheel department is definitely suffering, but other than that it's a nice platform.

[Char]

not many rb25s make over 400rwhp, if u build the engine ur only making it stronger not making it faster, u'd need a big fuk off turbo and would have crazy lag

[Kfwtf]

The Wheels are gonna be replaced, dont worry about that haha
I might be getting a set of P1 buddyclub Black.


Apparantly" 400 is the most ammuount of power that the RB25Det can produce without any internals worked.
Oh the Rpm is limited to 6500 due to, the pistons will fly out the side of the block eventualy, I dont know if that may be restricting extra HP? I doubt you would accel any faster over it anyway.

forged internals ie forged pistons and rods, with race bearings in an rb25det will max out at 400 - 430hp
forged pistons etc arent better performance, they are stronger. ie the only difference is your stock engine will last 12months a forged engine may last 5yrs.

the only way an rb25 will ever make 500hp is if you stroke it, or put in a bigger crank, bigger cams and a big ass turbo

6500rpm is low for an rb25 but it depends when ur engine stops making power most rb25s 6800-7200 but on an side note most stock internal rb25s dont last longer than 12months with 400rwhp

[NA_Goodness]

Really? People drift with stock RB25s for a few years running 400hp. But it's luck really.
No engine has ever blown up do to too much horsepower, it's detonation that kills them. Forging the motor gives the tuner for room for error and reduces blow ups. Above 450hp, the margin for error is pretty small, so forging is definately worth it.

That said, what do you need to power for? In a 25, more power comes from a bigger turbo, which induces lag. No point having a car that falls off boost out of the corner and doesn't hit boost again until just before the next corner. Just as too much power is a curse at the drags when you hot boost and can't get traction. Also starts bringing in plenty breakages which is both expensive to fox and expensive to upgrade. Or you could build a dyno queen, in which case you're clearly gay. But I doubt that's the case! Lol.

So yeah, plan out what you want to use the car for, then make modify around that plan

Hmm so 25/30 is the way to go then, That would be cool to do.
I may just call around about it.

jeez, I dont really have a reason to wanting more power, just the thrill I think.
but I would need the internals to be forged to be able to hold 500+ right?

[NA_Goodness]

Find a few corners, and even a low powered car is a HELL of a lot more fun!!
Yeah mate, 500hp wouldn't last long with a standard motor, so you'd have to forge it. You'll also need to upgrade your fuel system a fair way, cams, cam gears, ect. Do some research, see what other cars with 500hp have mod wise, and go from there!

Not really true dude, the standard internals just can´t handle the heat when you push that much power. With todays tuning and knock control, if you could push 700rwhp through a standard engine just by controlling knock then there would be a lot more people out there with 700rwhp. It´s not just detonation that kills engines, though a good tune will help it last.

RB25´s tend to have a lot of problems with their head at >400rwhp, most will start to develop valve float when you try to hold more than that.

[NA_Goodness]

I'm not saying you can get 1000hp from an unopenned RB25, buy a 2JZ if you want that But you have to admit, horsepower alone doesn't kill motors.
Also, I know 3 people running 400hp+ with standard heads and no issues. 2 of which are drift cars

[Kfwtf]

New rims!!!

[Hank Scorpio]

Advan TC II's, nice! I wanted a set of those but were discontinued when I went to purchase some

[Kfwtf]

got them from JPC $2,000 there's another set there I'm pretty sure!

[NA_Goodness]

Looks good, but needs more low!!

[Kfwtf]

Actually, can I get thicker tyres for it? there quite low profile.

[NA_Goodness]
