I have a Rb25det and the timing belt broke on it and the valves are all bent. I can get a R32 rb25DE head for real cheap localy.

will i loose any power with the DE head? i will need to plug the block because it does not have VCT?

I have heard that its alot more like the rb20* smaller valves lighter valve springs?* so i cant use my 25DET cams?

not really sure what is true or not thanks for any help.

If the RB25DE head is anything like the RB20DE it will have much smaller chambers so your comp ratio will be very high. - Probably too high!?

I would double check this before anything as obviously it would detonate badly if not massivly retuned to compensate.

RB Racing is currently building a RB20DE with a turbo fitted but have a Autronic to control the potential for detonation because of the high comp.

Who ever said the R32 RB25DE head has smaller valves etc has no idea, they are making an uneducated GUESS.

I believe I saw some one on NICOClub in the RB section making these claims.

The R32 RB25DE head I have has the same sized valves as the R33 RB25DET head, exactly the same.

My combustion chamber cc'd up at 62.2cc's which is also basically the same as the R33 RB25DET head.

The valve springs are lighter as it is a non turbo head. I have GTR springs going in to mine.

The ports are a different design to the R33 Rb25DET/RB26 and they are only slightly smaller but still considerably larger than the Rb20DET ports.

The R32 heads have no issues cracking 400rwhp running stock cams, plenum and inlet manifold.

Just wondering if you have any proof of an RB20DET head flowing 480-500hp on stock cams and plenum. Cams max out at around 400hp which will only see you to about 320rwhp.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
