RB25DET Cylinder Head

Ported

1.5 - 1.8bar

HKS Fcon Pro-V

Stage 3 HKS Cams 275 deg duration.... bigger than standard lift i dont have the figures with me im working til midnight :huh:

not sure on followers i know valves retainers etc have all been replaced with aftermarket parts.

Internals are trust built, forged pistons rods, aftermarket bearings, prepped and balanced crank etc

No dyno graph unfortunately :laugh: had one from when it was still in japan but its been lost.

Rev Limiter is set at 7200rpm as it sits, it wasnt during the tune (im conservative :blush:)

Hope that helps.

OK, you have a lot of money invested in the RB25 cylinder head, to much to throw it away (and use an RB26 cylinder head). My understanding is that you are going to make an adaptor so that you can run the RB26 throttle bodies, as you need the response. The standard RB26 plenum has proven to be very effective up to ~600 bhp. Over that, the common choice is the Nismo plenum, a number of people (Mines, HKS etc) utilise it to good effect for circuit use.

For drag use there are a number of single throttle body plenums that will do the job, but the huge volume of the plenum and the distances (from the inlet valves to the single throttle body) are not good for throttle response.

:laugh: cheers :laugh:

:3some: cheers :)

Exactly hence why I went for the ITB setup... the only thing that concerns me if I opt for a Nismo Plenum is that I will still be utilizing standard runners. Should I invest the extra money in getting aftermarket runners to suit the plenum or will standard suffice???

Currently talking to ISL33P about runners/plenum anyway might see if he can get them separately.

Standard throttle bodies, with the inlet manifold match ported to the cylinder head = 750 bhp no problems. Way more than you should be using for your purposes.

Here's a question for ya.

Has anybody ever used an RB26 throttle body setup with 6 throttles and all the shiznet on an RB25.

What are the results? Worth the effort?

Just out of curiosity

This is what I am in the process of doing right now, you require an adaptor and apparently it is very worthwhile.

I have a friend (Rick from Adrenalin Motorsports) that runs a 700hp+ RB25 R33 with a T78 and has a similar setup to what I will be running. He swears by it. (pretty sure most of his stuff is aftermarket though)

Will definitely keep you posted on results, I'll also be looking into selling the adaptors in Australia as the only place you can get them is Japan unless you wanna have them custom made which = $$$$ :( If your interested let me know, the first run will be limited numbers only just to guage interest.

500hp at the wheels and full boost by 3500rpm are you sure? Is that possible with such a big turbo?

My stock turbo doesnt make full boost until 3000rpm.

It's possible when you buy quality parts and don't skimp on the important things. The car in question is my old R32 and has ATLEAST $25k spent on the motor. The head alone is a joke, and realistically is really is an overkill for a T67.

The results speak from them self however, huge power, huge turbo and full boost at only 3500 - 3800rpm.

Have fun James, with the power you want to achieve you’ll get there, while all the “race kiddies” are still waiting for full boost at 6000rpm.

I can't remember where I saw it but I have seen adaptor plates for the RB26 ITBs to bolt onto the RB25 head... from memory they were made by HKS or Nismo or one of the big jap companies...

...tempting hey Bass :huh:

We have been heavily promoting the PLAZMAMAN range of plenums, not purely because they aesthetically look good, but they are backed by years of knowledge, Research and development, and continuous testing.

We're off to DUBAI in the coming weeks and will be taking several of these plenums with us to show their quality, design to the rest of the world.

Its not just about having a HUGE japanese brand name, its about being able to deliver the goods and in this case the performance and effectiveness of upgrading to an aftermarket plenum

We will have our own adaptors in the coming weeks

Thanks

Will do

I speak to quite a few of the workshops and individuals on MSN, and the amount of money invested into cars over there is crazy.

They are Turbonetics crazy over there aswell, and everything HAS to be BRAND NAME, otherwise, they wont use it simply

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).

      Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.

      I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating.

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.
