Hi guys, is it possible to run a rb2530 (det head) with a nistune?

Just pick the nistune based on the head you are using, or you might have to chop and change sensors and looms. However R33s don't have nistunes, so you would need an rb20det computer or z32 to run it. Pretty straightforward to setup, email nistune themselves and see what board they recommend you.

I have the z32 ecu so that'll work? If so I will speak with Pete from nistune for more details.

Thanks for your help guys

I need some clarification after weeks of reading different info if anyone can help

Im planing on doing the rb30 conversion using the rb25det neo head.

Can anyone confirm the cc's of the turbo neo head, Ive read anywhere from 52cc to 60cc ?

Also im running an auto tranny and it shifts at 6800rpm (I cant change shift points) from what I have read standard rb30 rods dont like to be reved over 6500 without letting go. Is this correct?

Do I need to get the crank balenced to rev to 6800rpm?

I hope someone can enlighten me.

Thanks

Balance your crank rods flywheel and pressure plate to prevent unwanted vibrations at high revs that will cause problems

Neo 25 heads i have seen here at the machine shop i work at vary from 52-55cc's

non neo 25 & 26 heads I've seen vary from 63-66cc's

Did you get your 25/30 back together? How'd it go?

yeah i got it a JEM at the moment gettin a E85 tune.. should get it back within the next week.. ill come past your work and show you man..

hows your car been going?

awesome, i think my 26/30 is killing the non syncro rb20/30 gearbox, will upgrade to the rb25 in the new year, just hope it can last

Power porting the compressor and turbine covers is not something I have ever considered. I have done cast iron exhaust manifolds, works very well. I have not experienced any restriction in an RB25DET inlet manifold or throttle body up to 525 bhp so I doubt that it would be worth the cost. Over that, an RB26 top end with inlet manifold is a cheaper proposition when you add it all up. If you are intending to use the GT35R to its potential, then that would be my suggestion.

Hope that helps:cheers:

Hi.

What kind of flow gains did u get power porting the standard rb25 ex manifold? Thanks

Ive finally got my head off time to drill and tap into the head for external oil feed.

first question Ive been trying to find a way to find all attached images within this thread.

looking at what people have done in the past for vct feed.

Also. Is there a particular spot alont the vct feed gallery where there is alot of meat to tap into.

Someone had suggested building up the alloy on the head before drilling and tapping. Whether its necessary or not I would rather find out before I pick a spot to start drilling into.

hey thanks for the nice shots, that second shot where you have drilled into it you wouldn;t be able to send me a high resolution copy at all would you?

looks like quite a large line what size thread is that tapped? I was looking at tapping to suit a 3/8 NPT bung.

From the shots I'm guessing that particular area has a wall of 4mm would that sound about right?

    • 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"
