I might have some good news

[Smoothshifts]

Ok so this is weird... I bought an engine from a guy, an rb20det for $600 with the transmission. The guy told me it was an rb20, but when I looked at it in the pictures he sent, it had the rb25det cover emblem, it said 2500 on it. I asked the guy what that was about and he didn't answer. I bought the engine anyways because even for an rb20 that's a really good deal. I honestly don't know the differences between the rb20 and rb25 engines very much so I googled some pics of both engines and tried to compare. They both looked about the same depending on the pics. I believed the guy when he said it was an rb20. Yesterday I got the engine, the guy came over and dropped it off. It looked a lot bigger than the usual 2.0 liter engine. This thing was much bigger than I expected. It looked in great shape too. I didn't inspect the engine much at all when I got it because I had to leave right after I bought it and I'm coming back home on Monday. I just think it's kinda odd that it has the rb25 emblem. After looking at some photos on the Internet it actually does look like an rb25. I think I might have just lucked out and scored an rb25det engine and transmission for $600. If so that would be great! Can someone please tell me the differences between the two engines? What do I need to look for? I'll post photos of it on here Monday so some of you can check it out yourself and I'll also take it apart and check it out. Please tell me the differences! And yes I'll check out the casting numbers later but I want to know all the visual differences in case someone changed it or messed with it.

I'm sure you can figure it out on your own I have faith in you.

[dbeiler]

Jeez, you can't do math? RB20 is a 4 cylinder so obviously an RB25 will be a 5 cylinder engine. Count the timing marks on the crankshaft. There will be 1 per cylinder.

[dbeiler]

Good thing you asked us instead of simply checking the numbers on the engine block. Those numbers are almost always wrong.

[Smoothshifts]

[BossHogg]

just post the damn pics. I feel like I'm at the special olympics.

[Smoothshifts]

Just checked the block codes and it is an rb20det with the rb25det valve cover

That would be dumb. I bought an engine that I knew was an rb20det but since it had an rb25det cover, I thought it could possibly be an rb25det which would be even better. Either way it was a win.

[StatticMyke]

Holy shit, this thread just happened.

Did you at least get the Gallo 24 RB instead of the Gallo 12??? The Gallo 24 has the turbo on the American passenger side and is the only RB type that fits into an S chassis.

[Jibbberish]

So much good information in this thread.

All of it is correct. It's your job to know what's more correct, not ours.

Bro you don't even know the differences between the two engines. Clearley you don't know anything about the engines other than is possibly came from a skyline.

Not something to be proud of.

[s13mikesr20]

this thread pains me in the Nissan community not only did u buy a rb "blind"
but you make this thread like you disserve a prize or maybe a cookie
congrats on buying for all we know a very confused previously owned rb20/25
but seeing what is happening now makes me very sad this isn't the first time I have seen this happen.Please restore faith that I have lost just now for Christ sake

[Smoothshifts]

Haha I know this thread is stupid but your writing this stuff to me thinking I actually care? Lmao it doesn't change I thing I do. I'm building the engine and this just makes it better! I didn't buy it blind, everyone else buys blind when they buy online because they haven't even looked the the thing. I got what I paid for so keep it up and waste your time writing, I love it

[Smoothshifts]

Bro yes I actually do, I researched them over and over before deciding to buy. and I said that like I was proud? Yeah I guess I am proud of it since you say so :mrmeph:

And no, that was not a fast and furious reference, however we now know where the inspiration comes from!

Yes it was a fast and furious reference. Look it up exact wording and everything. If you're that clueless to not even know your own quote then that's your problem.

This says 2500 on it...Do you dweebs not know what a 1JZ looks like?

[JM216S14]

This says 2500 on it...Do you dweebs not know what a 1JZ looks like?

wouldnt a 1jz say 1000 on it, Im not sure that is why Im asking I want your opinion.

[KiLLeR2001]

correct, since the numbers say 2500 it would be a 2.5JZ

[OBEEWON]

Mark Twain never had an RB sooo...there's that.

Where do you think fast and furious got that line??? It's the number 1 made mistake in the import tuner industry.

[S14kouki805]

You guys are horrible, leave the kid alone, I'd say for $600 he came up in any case.

Switch the damn valve cover for the correct one so you don't get flamed any more than you are already are. I'm assuming the engine is blown or has some major issue, so good luck with your rebuild

Here's a suggestion- start reading as much as you can before asking anything on this forum or these are the responses you are going to get.

The 1JZ valve covers say Twin Turbo 2500 = 2.5L = 2500cc (2492cc)

Thank you, first nice response I've recieved. That's what I've been saying is either way it's a good deal. And btw the engine that he posted in the picture is the EXACT engine I have. The aftermarket manifold, the 2500 engine valve cover, everything. Whoever posted that where did you find the picture?

Ummmm the Google would know where to find that picture. I'd search for something along the lines of "how to find pictures of the Gallo 24 RB online free"

Its pretty obvious that there is only 1 rb20 left in the world and you have it and all the pictures that exist are it.

good luck finding parts :D

[sil80takashi]

you might have saved just a couple dollars on the engine,
but have you thought about the labor and parts needed to have it working in a S-Chassis?

[kashira kureijii]

You guys have it all wrong!!!!!

Its obviously a ca18 with an rb25 valve cover

[Smoothshifts]

there weren't any pictures on the ad when I bought it from the guy so I wasn't sure how he found a picture...

[Smoothshifts]

Yes ive saved up money for the parts, engine, everything and I'm doing the labor myself.

[Bushido]

Listen, Smoothshitz...

We all know you're like super excited about your CA18 or whatever but this thread really sucks.

Listen, Smoothshitz...

No no no, actually he's doing it right!! Nearly everything s-chassis related has been covered already, one rarely sees a new thread on the tech section that really deserves to get started. One only comes in here to do research, for the classifieds section, and most importantly for the LOLz, without threads like this we could as well turn zilvia into "Z&S-chassis.craigslist" and archives. Have you seen that "photoshop my car" thread? Along with every other one of smooturds' threads? Pure gold!! So, gentlemen, thanks for the lol's. Now if you excuse me, I got some really bad photoshoping to do!

Wait, so he added pics after you bought it?

He made another ad and it says it was made the day that I bought it. Must've made another before I bought it in case I backed out I guess.
