when the block are bored we always make sure the run speed is low ie the bore tool moves slowly up and down the cylinder giving you a finely hatched pattern about roughly 25-35 degrees to the horizon if you where looking straight at the bore from inside. As my engine machinist has now aquirred a torque plate honer i will be using that from now on although the difference is minute its still ensuring the best possible result.

with standard rod and pistons you can run the standard headgasket and using the headgasket on foges with my experiece with arias will give you around 8.6:1 comperssion using the hightops with standard rods, using the flat tops i believe its below 8 around 7.4:1. However the eagle rods being chev arent actually the correct length they are 6 inch not 5.92 that standard rods are and the sit above the deck height enough that you will need at least a 1.2mm headgast to acheive a squish and avoid valve isssue when running bigger camshafts. All this info is based on the 26head but its pretty much the same if you are using a 25 head, but the 20 head is different, correct me if im wrong i believe the cc of the rb20 head is 63cc and the rb26 is 66cc so it changes it all right there.

Who is your machinist, does someone in Canberra have a torque plate now ?

My appoligies for bringing up old stuff but I couldnt find any photos as most of the pics dont work anymore in older posts.

My engine builder hasnt seen my head yet but he tells me that the rb25det head rear passenger's side water jacket sits out past the block, the na rb25 head doesnt. I'm still scratching my head how he came to that conclusion when my head doesn't have this problem.

Now all kinds of thoughts are going through my head atm, do I have an NA head or are there variances in the 25 turbo heads, VVT is an obvious one (mines VVT) then I go on thinking do I have an na inlet manifold,cams and valve springs...:confused:

The pic below is my bare head, the orange arrow is where i've been told the problem is.

The complete top end came off a 33 gtst so I would assume it would be a turbo head.

In the past replies SK and Joel have used na heads, what are the characteristics of the na cams on the new engine? any problems with reversion etc....

Cause if I'm stuck with na valve springs etc..:slap: it maybe time for tomei pon cams and stiffer springs.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
