240hoke Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 OK, I just got to thinking today, and ive been doing alot of research. I'm *thinking* about doing an rb25det install this summer. i dont want to be a sellout , and I would feel kinda bad selling all my stuff, but the skyline engine is tempting and i can get a clip for about 3K. How much do you guys think I could get for my setup if i follow through with this?? I would be willing to sell everything or part it out. Here's what i got: l28et block, p90head: everything is rebuilt, although i think cylinder 5 may have a burnt ring or somthing, it's 20 psi low. euro pulley t3/t4 stg 5 turbo dual port wastegate actuator n42 shaved intake black wrinkle powdercoated ZCC fuel rail 370cc SVO fuel injectors 60mm 240sx TB JSK Tb spacer NPR I/C All I/C plumbing ceramic coated Vortec BOV SDS EM4-6f (full standalone fuel/spark -- distributorless igntion ect.) full 3" exhaust above setup put out 245hp and 305ft.lbs at 11 psi. Hopefully i can pull in 3-4K from my summer job. I was wanting to get a motorcycle, but my parents wont let me so i figure i gotta find another way to kill myself and what better way then a rb swap!?! I would be trying to pull the swap off with money i earn over the summer plus what i can get for my stuff. Which being 17, is going to be hard so if i cant get a good deal for my stuff i guess the project is over. BUt bust my bubble and lemme know what you think i could get for everything. -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I'd be interested in some of the stuff if the price is right, like maybe the sds although you might want to keep it for the RB ? the exhaust (what downpipe are you using with that ?)

240hoke Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 Like i said im not positive that im going to do this and it will be a couple months before i have the money to start but.. If i go rb i think that i will use the stock electronics. The newer rb25's put out 280hp stock and the factory wiring will take it quite far.... My sds is the nicest one you can buy. I paid around 1800 for it new. If i sold the SDS seperatly more then likely i would want to sell the euro pulley and hall sensor mount with it. This would be an almost plug and play thing. I would guess 1200-1300 for the entire SDS setup?? i dunno I dont have a "downpipe" Its all part of the exhaust, but coming off the turbo is 2 45 degree stainless bends that go to 3" aluminized piping. This exhuast is setup to work with the turbo on he motor witch has the ford 3 bolt wastgate housing... -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolorin Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hey I am interested in Euro-Balancer and possibly the fuel rail, send pics and prices when you will decide to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Here's my estimates. I may be off but i'll take a shot... l28et block, p90head - depends on what's wrong with #5. $2-300 for the P90 euro pulley - I'd sell with the sds t3/t4 stg 5 turbo - free dual port wastegate actuator - unsure n42 shaved intake black wrinkle powdercoated - $150 ZCC fuel rail - $100-$150 370cc SVO fuel injectors - $100-$150 60mm 240sx TB - $60 JSK Tb spacer - Not sure what JSK sells his for? $100 NPR I/C - $150-$225 depending on size All I/C plumbing ceramic coated - $150-200 Vortec BOV - unsure SDS EM4-6f - $12-1300 full 3" exhaust - $400 since it includes downpipe Just roundabout figures. I may be way off but, just some thoughts. Oh, and BTW, I'm interested in your T3/T4 if you do decide to break it up and sell it. Could ya tell? Good luck with either decision you make.

Jersey Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hey David.

240hoke Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hey David K, send me a check and its yours i can have it out of the car this weekend. Right now its looking like I am going to be parting out the engine. IF somebody doesnt jump on it, just simply becuase it would be easier for me to ship everything and that way anybody could buy it. Ill let you guys know. Anybody think im making a mistake doing this? -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 IF you decide to part it out, PM me with the specifics on the T3/T4 and what you'd want for it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarang Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 If I remember right, you said your turbo was a TO4b H3/ T3 .82. I think if you do some more tuning and maybe get some forged pistons and balance the whole thing while your engine is apart to fix the low comp, you might be money ahead. Also with a turbine A/R like that, you my not be able to take full advantage of the upper end of that turbo, without changing the cam and porting the head. You have a bunch of good parts to work with already, especially the SDS which you may have to use on the RB. If you get the RB, you probably will pay the $3000 for that and I'm guessing another $3000 to get it in the car and running. With that kind of money, you could push the setup you have to 400hp with proper tuning and the afore mentioned parts. 400hp in an RB and 400hp in an L28 is still 400hp! I'm guessing also with the money you save, you could get a Spearco intercooler, also. Just my 2c Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
