Ill let u know on Wednesday - Im taking it easy until its tuned again due to the rooted cat that I had.

But its coming on boost around 3000.

Also I just found that 26 oil pick up - PM me your address again.

Brad, What Rpm does the T04z hit full boost, say in 4th gear? What rear housing you got?
Hi I have read a lot of the last 247 pages and searched as much as I can but still have a few unanswered questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with. Im putting the rb25/30 standard bottom end engine in a r32 and gonna use a TO4z turbo. The car will be used for track days, tarmac events, and the like.

So here goes…

1. If (can) I use a RB26DETT d-jetro power fc. Ive read its been done before but with what sensors? I’m hoping to use my rb20det sensors and loom.

2. If I use the d-jetro will it control the VVT solenoid in my RB25DET head? If not, can I remove the vvt pulley and cam and use a RB20DET cam with adjustable pulley.

3 If I can I would probably get it ground for longer duration and higher lift, I think SK recommends 264 – 270 duration – but what is the max lift I can use without having to machine anything.

4. Will the PFC run high and low impedance injectors?

5. If the vvt cam is removed can I supply the oil for the cam bearing via the vvt solenoid hole?

6. How do I get top feed injectors to fit an rb25det (side feed) plenum. Is there a seal or o-ring I can use?

Thanks heaps for the help.

Do yourself a favour Rob, sell the RB25 top end and buy an RB26 top end. Far superior solution. much easier to work on, cheaper and eassier to get parts for (new and used), designed for circuit work and most of all IT IS CHEAPER when you add it up.

T04Z + standard bottom end = not a good idea

To keep the bottom end alive you are going to be running the T04Z way outside its efficiency.

For circuit work you need response and you are simply not going to get it with that combination.

:) cheers :)

okay lads, im in a bit of a pickle.

i've been looking into results other people have gotten, and i dont see any lowmounts making 700-750bhp. What i've been looking at, is the HKS T04z or HKS T51 KAI BB. Which one will give me the 700-750bhp that i need, on ~1.8bar. Also how much of a difference is there between the HKS ones and their Garrett variants.

What fuel are you going to run to get the 750 bhp?

We have achieved more than that with a pair of GTRS's on Elf Turbo Max.

at ~$8/ltr c16 or equivalent isnt an option for me.

So normal 98 optimax will have to be it. (it's still street driven)

ELF is what, 110ron? what boost did u need to smack into it to get those numbers?

Shell V Power Racing 100 ron would be better, can you get that where you live?

Boost is irrelevant, after all it is simply a measure of the restriction to airflow, when it is the airflow itself that makes the power. We run ~1.5 bar because we have removed the restrictions.

yes i'm able to get that shell stuff

interesting indeed, can u give details? i'll pop u a pm

That should turn up almost everything you need, then you can fill in the gaps with a PM.

:) cheers :)

sweet, give me an hour or two and i'll re pm you. Dont bother replying to that one i just sent u lol.

Forget about whether or not the RB26 head itself is "better", the fact is it will work out cheaper when you add it all up. Inlet manifold, multiple throttle bodies, plenum, top feed injectors, cams, solid followers, no VVT, adj camshaft pulleys, valves, valves springs etc etc. They are what makes an RB26 head the ONLY way to go.

:) cheers :)

Cheaper? The way i see it if you buy a low km import motor and use the RB25DE head then once you put springs in it there is no reason to rebuild the head. So head + valvesprings is less then $800. I happen to have cams to go into mine so thats $1400. Now if i ran an RB26 head then i would be looking at $1500 for a shitter of a head of a blown motor that i would have to rebuilt. So there is $2500 total. If i use std manifold then i have to go twin. So now i have to get an aftermarket manifold.

So...i will stick with the poor mans head...by my calcs its a much cheaper option and after doing some homework there is a bit of thinking that says the RB25 head and plenum will be better for what im doing...Also dont need new harness etc and sensors. And after playign around with an RB26 manifold on the weekend i dotn want to go anywhere near one. And sure as hell dont want to run twins...

As with everything, it depends on your power target. As soon as you are looking for more than 300 rwkw, with any sort of decent response, the RB26 head works out cheaper.

Yeh I was looking for a decent GTR head for about 4 months here in NZ and found nothing suitable... One was 2.4K!!!

Unfortunately im pretty committed to the 25 head as i have the intake and exhaust plenum/manifold well under way.

SK could you help out with some of my questions... ive numbvered them just the way u like it :wave:

Just to clarify

2. Can I use some reground rb20det cams to get rid of the vvt and allow adjustable pullies

6. I have top feed GTR injectors and a custom fuel rail, but the injectors dont sit in the rb25 (side feed) holes very well... is there a seal i can use - see pic.

Thanks for the help

Yes you can run the rb20 cams as long as you modify the water and oil gallery in the head to suit the rb30 block.

god i hate the rb25 head....its so shit. Just a general comment.

I wanna go back intime about a year ago when we first built the 30det so i can do it with a 26 head instead. Curse my old man!

The pig is in the car.

There is always a price to pay so by completely assembling the engine prior to fitting I discovered just how little engine bay room there is. It looks so big when there is no motor in there.

There are always just little things popping up that need to be dealt with like bolts and hoses.

Bursons had a Dayco belt in for me in a couple of hours. Now to bolt up the bell housing and starter and finish the electrics. Might be on the dyno about lunchtime.

geoff you're a machine

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
