Mate i did buy the Splitfires for the RB20/ series 1 RB25, but was able to swap them accordingly for a Series 2 RB25.

So if that is the case the coilpacks coming off the RB25 won't work :thanks:

But I can always ask what condition the coilpacks are like coming off the RB20......

UPDATE - 28/03/06

After numerous discussions over the engine, it seems it is no ordinary RB25DET :D It seems it is a very legit low KM engine, so 24,000 seems to be accurate! It apparently is a VERY VERY LATE model RB25DET off a Stagea WGN33 with the sump modified for RWD..... :O

A few additions to the add-on list...

1. RB25DET

2. R33 GTST Gearbox

3. FMIC

4. Splitfire Coilpacks

5. 3" Exhaust Turbo back

6. Ceramic Clutch

7. 2 x Recaro's

8. Oil Cooler Kit

9. Profec B II Boost Controller

10. x3 Guages - Oil Temp / Pressure & Water temp

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR THE NEXT UPDATE! :(

After numerous discussions over the engine, it seems it is no ordinary RB25DET :huh: It seems it is a very legit low KM engine, so 24,000 seems to be accurate! It apparently is a VERY VERY LATE model RB25DET off a Stagea WGN33 with the sump modified for RWD..... :)

Stageas came in RWD RB25 as well (just no one in australia seems to like or know about em), as did C34 Laurels, Glorias and Cedrics. Its pretty strange to modify an AWD RB25DET to a RWD when you can just get a RWD one cheaper and more easily.

Also the late late model RB engines are NEO engines, so make sure you get the right parts for it (eg: top feed injectors instead of sidefeed like regular RB25DETs).

Shan,

Mate it has me lost as to the exact nature of it.... I will see if I can get a piccy of it up for you guys to ponder over

Here you go!

Thanks heaps Nick!!!!

Yeah she is coming along nicely!! :) Just gotta feel sorry for Nath having to sort thru the wiring loom to match up to the RB25! ( See last 2 photos )

Doesn't a wiring loom hanging off the exhaust add about 2000+ rwkw?? :D

*UPDATE 08/05/06*

Pit stopped @ the workshop on the weekend to pick up the RB20 / Gearbox and see my baby :worship:

Should be done in a few weeks time WOOT :spank:

It is 100% confirmed, engine is WGN34 Stagea RWD.

Just awaiting a couple of things such as, driveshaft modified for the 33 gearbox, power steering pump etc. Engine should be getting turned over in the next couple of days!

As for price (Basketcase) approx $4000 for engine (22K Km's), gearbox, coilpacks, full loom, AFM, ECU, delivered. Wasn't fussed paying a little extra considering the very low legit km's.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
