make sure you use ACL race series bearings. ARP 2000 rod bolts. RB30e pistons.

SAFC2 ? I know what i would do... Pray! Pray to boost god to give you mercy for commiting the mortal sin of bending.

ive got a rb26 cas running on my rb25 head so it should work ok. The CAS does line up with the half moon in the cam, if you look in the cam you can see the other half of the moon and line up the CAS and re-fit it. If its buggard it wont start simple. Ive never seen anyone do that test of the CAS before, it would be interesting to try it though!

you cant be serious? the cam gear wont move on the cam unless its loose or snapped, can you see the dowel in the cam? are you sure ? Look at the cam, it should have a little pin sticking out of it and if you look inside the gear you can see where the pin is supposed to go, if its snapped the face of the cam will be flush, if not you will see it sticking out. take a clear pic of the face of the cam, and send it. the locator pin will have to be broken if the gear is moving on the cam. Was the 19mm cam bolt tight ?

seems as if the rb25det ones are for underground 3l331 tuners only.. damn. Im not a tuner.. im just a salmon.

yeah what paul said. get a power fc or nistune. Try checking your AFM, is it dirty? clean it and try again.

lol did you post a thread about this before ? I think i told you to check the cam with a shifter? pull the gear off, your locater might have snapped like mine did the other day, if you keep driving it like this it could destroy your engine. Pull it appart and be carefull when doing so cos the pin that snapped will fall into the timing case and you dont want that to happen cos you will need to get it out! Yes this is what i said. This is what to do next. 1: PUT A RAG OR A DRIP TRAY under the engine because oil will leak out of the front of the cam 2: You need to take the 4 really small 8mm bolts off from the front of the inlet cam, it is spring loaded and lots of oil will come out. 3: undo the 19mm bolt that holds the cam in (it might be loose but undo it BEFORE taking the timing belt off because that way the gear wont spin when trying to undo it also use the spanner to hold the cam in place) 4: remove the bolt and the gear CAREFULLY, you should find the little locator snapped inside the gear, when you remove it as soon as it slips of the cam tilt the front of the gear that goes over the cam upwards so the bit does not fall out. 5: inspect cam, you will find that the locator is snapped. You will need to buy another cam to fix this or get someone to drill out and replace the locator on your existing cam. I purchased a new cam. The GOOD news is the engine is not buggard, the valves have not hit YET. Replace the cam and the timing belt while your at it and make sure the head is not scored on the first cam cap if it is rub it back with some 1200 sand paper till its smooth again.

closest one to guess the power figure wins a prize! get your figures in!

238.6 rwkw.

If you have the whole 8k to spend at once. RB26DETT = Win. Get the 26. Dont bother with the 25 because. the 26 can handle more power stock and everything is there to make the power. much easier. Go the 26, If i could go back i would not have the forged 3 litre id have a stock rb26 engine running 320ish rwkw.

8k will get you a good rebuild on your rb25. But if you got 8k to spend all in one hit, i would go the rb26 and not look back. make sure its in good nick.

its funny looking at your old posts from good ol 2005, i learnt alot in that year.

I have, i got done with the sticker. So i removed it.

that happened to me, but the locator on the inlet cam snapped and the bolt worked itself loose and it retarded the inlet cam god knows how much. Compression test read 30psi in each cyl, and the engine still ran! lol Replaced the cam and its all good now

SOLD Told ya's it would not last long

its on my precision motorsports rods, so they would be the same as the ones you use ?

Sorry my inbox got full from PM's, I have been getting alot of interest from this but no confirmation that its sold yet, get in quick or it will be gone.

Does anyone know what the socket size for ARP 2000 rod bolts are ? I am changing the crank over this weekend and will need to remove them, but have no idea what the socket type is called or what size it is. any ieas?

it looks exactly same as the standard one but goes up to 300ks its only the insert that goes into your dash, not the whole cluster. will get pics though

we do them all the time. Your location would help.

ive still got this if anyone is interested? will take new pics if anyone wants some i dont know what happened to the old pics

Its a programable shift light as well as a two step. What that means is that i can have the clutch in and the throttle floored reving at 5000rpm only and the boost will start to rise. On my car because its such a big turbo i can only spool about 6psi max, but on mafia's car he was spinning around 16psi with a smaller turbo (but much bigger then stock of course) So when you drop the clutch you have 6psi straight away and your engine wont take long to bring it onto fool boost, takes my car a extra second for full boost.

very rarely.. but they updated the firmware so its not so violent anymore.

YES the cam gear can move on the cam, if the dowl locator snapps on the cam then what happens is that the gears are still in time but the cam is retarded, this happened to my engine and it had 30psi in all cyls and it still ran as well. Take the harmonic balancer off, take the timing covers off and put the engine on TDC and make sure the bottom timing mark is correct as well as the top ones. Get a shifter and put on the cam (you need to take the cam covers off) and try turn the cam gently. If the cam turns without the cam gear turning then you would have snapped the dowl and it might only be a little bit out. It can get worse and if you dont fix it now it could slip around and smash valves. Also check your compression tester, the engine could be all OK
