Scionide's RB25 S14 Build

Little background on this, I traded my white SR hatch for a R32 GTR shell earlier this year. It was the car that I always wanted and thought about building. The downside to it was that everything is a $500 bill for that car. I couldn't afford to build it among other things. So after it sitting in my garage for a couple months and me getting the itch to build something, I hit up a friend of mine who had this car. Trade done, the list of mods a mile long and a "built" motor that I was told had no compression in CYL 1. Jayson from CSW had fixed a lot of things but this car has a long way to go. It was suspected that the car had bent valves which is what my hunch was. Pulled the head tonight and my hunch was confirmed. I have a spare head that for the time being I will throw on it to get it running and then go from there. The supposed head upgrades are yet to be confirmed, I know the valves are OEM Nissan so I am unsure on the springs and cams.

The Supposed Mod List (My only Skepticism is on the motor due to PO buying the long block and not splitting it, which is not his fault)

this would be your best bet.. i wish i had the money for one right now but im going to trust the one you fixed for me.
I heard some sad news about this build. Is it true that you're fearing the worst on the bottom end now as well?

I think the bottom end is probably okay but I'm skeptical of anyone that put the lower timing gear on backwards

The amount of incompetence in this world amazes me
Update on this thread, motor is up for sale and will hopefully be gone in the next week or two, I'm ditching the RB completely and going with a notch top SR. Ill also be doing a PBM midmount intercooler and ACT stage 4 unsprung cltuch, I may do ARP head studs and Cosworth HG while the motor is out of the car, I plan on pulling the engine this weekend if everything goes smoothly.
Forget the 4 cylinders and do ls swap.

Im not a V8 hater either before anyone comes in saying somethin lol I just prefer the sound of an RB over the sound of a monster truck..

Forget the 4 cylinders, fix the 6
13b or go home.

I'm drunk. Disregard this post.
I might have a buyer for some of those block parts if you are parting it out brother. Hit me up.
Sooo after much hate from Carfreak8714850245722485702436524650 I traded my RB25 swap for a built SR swap. Specs on the new motor are as follows
Wiseco Pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP headstuds
Cometic HG
Disco Potato
and some other small bolt ons

Right now, im just looking to get it running and go from there, I need rear axles and thats about it. Here are a few pics from the install and an entire RB swap in the back of a Scion.
