NP mate. it does not require welding but it will require your machineist to machine down the crank and fit it correctly. its not a easy job and you have to have the crank out of the engine to do the task.

what was the other question? did you read through this thread ? it has everything you need.

always balance everything that goes up and down and round and round. Might as clean up the crank too while there, any dags and casting marks clean it up and get it slippery smooth.

In regards to the RB25 , why is the front feed blocked off and the rear feed restricted but with the other engines its the rear feed that gets blocked off and the front feed get's the restrictor as per sydneykids table ??

we dont know where sydney kid comes up with his ideas but they have been proven to work time after time after time so its a good idea not to ask questions how he comes up with it...

I think it may be because the rb25 has hydro lifters and its required to have it setup that way to run them properly where the gtr has solids which does not need the same kind of oil configuration.

Mine is done as per Sydney kids instructions and its been running for 2 years and 363rwkw.

There are many others whos are running well too. I dont know why people have to question it all the time.

well i certainly do not know thats why i am asking these question's b4 i put the motor together .. i want to be 100% sure all is correct ..
in saying that guilt-toy if you install the non vct 25 head you block of the rear and feed the front but with the 25 vct head its opposite and both have hydraulic lifters..

thats is correct??

I run the non-vct RB25 head.

I blocked off the rear restrictor as the Rb26's are and run a 1.5mm restrictor up font.

Works fine no ticks, pops etc. Went from shit loads of oil everywhere over 5500rpm+ to a bone dry catch can. Still plenty of oil floating around in the cam covers. Prior on idle oil was puddled up to the base of the cam so you couldn't see the lifter. Now u can.

As a few have experienced; if you experience hydraulic lifter tick once the motor is warm its a tell tale sign the motors on its last legs. Recently happened to a mate of mine running an rb30det.

what went on your mates engine when it went ? i get lifter tick for about 5 seconds when i start the engine on cold startup only...

just wondering what went on your mates engine

Lifter tick when the oil was warm and poor oil pressure no bottom end knocks or noises. The lifters were silent when cold.

Mine is fairly decent on cold start up, I only get an occasional tick. I can't remember the last time it ticked but I haven't been driving the car during the week for a while.

The RB20 was the same. Occasional tick.

Yeah well i checked my oil change sticker and it has been 6000km's since a oil change!! so thats why they would be ticking.. oil is getting a little old but its 300v chrono which is known to last longer then normal fully synthetic oil.

will change it in the next week or 2 :) ooooopppss

thats a pretty over the top solution Beyond Horizon, you will never fit the standard piping back on if you go a fitting like that. A simple 90o angle with 1/2 hose barbs on one side and 3/8 BSP thread on the other can be tapped into the head just to the right of the fitting in that pic - much easier, smaller and about $3 for the fitting

But will it flow as well, bearing in mind we are talking gravity feed here?

Do you know where i can find some pictures of this modification you're talking about or do you have some ?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
