Hey all just thought i would let you know after almost a year im going to be cranking my 30/25 build over tomorrow just a few wires to go and waiting for the tunner to come around and load in a map.

Thanks to all the guys that had imput into the guide and all the people that have answer my post fingers crossed for tomorrow

just some pics of what it now looks like

Thats a very nice looking engine bad you have there, goodluck with everything!

Just a heads up, I notice youve got a thermofan, but no shroud. I'll be doing the same, but pretty sure the shroud will be needed as the thermo only draws air through the immediate area it's placed against. I'll be mounting mine around 25mm off he radiator so the shroud acts as a funnel and the hole for the thermo fan as the exit point (for lack of a better description)

Can someone recommend me a good sump to use? I was looking at the Hi Energy Pro eliminator...

Contact Leigh from "Extreme Turbo Manifolds"

Tel: (02) 4262 8774

He is currently doing mine. Had to send him my sump, oil pick-up arm, and oil pump housing. The capacity is increased to 7ltrs, the oil pick-up is relocated to ensure optimum position and is surrounded by baffles, the oil pump is modified to suck oil from the right hand side (by removing the welsh plug and inserting a fitting). I will need to block off the factory oil intake, to the pump, in the block.

His manifolds are said to be top notch too :thumbsup:

Question... Using Autronic SM4 in my 33 GTSt (not fitted yet). Looking at my old computer/loom, what needs to stay??? Does the std ecu have to stay connected for a/c, dash, any other ancilleries or can I just cut the loom out all together? I seem to have other wires coming from my std loom going to wiper motor (and some other little orange box back there) not to mention that wires head back from the loom towards the fuse box etc. Anyone else have any of these issues when changing computers?? Cheers for any ideas.

Surely I cant be the only person who needs this info, anyone??

no you dont need the std comp for anything with the sm4, im pretty sure it can control everything you throw at it. If you havent already, go trade it in for the new plug n play version. Will save you a heap of hassle.

200 what sort of racing you going to be doing with your car to justify an aftermarket sump?

Nice build gemini90. Why did you keep the pcv valve there to the manifold? You should ditch it mate.

Nice plenum on there too, i wasnt aware hypertune made them for rb25's? If so, must have cost you a fair bit.

I was looking at a dry sump setup but after reading a few threads I went back to the wet sump idea...

Its my understanding that a hi-energy sump has a few baffles and a trap door in it... Maybe drilling and putting an extra inlet coming from the head might be ok...

I have done a basic run in tune for 10psi and have everything running smoothly.

At 10 psi it makes amazing power and is all in by 2800rpm with a slide hiflow that was making full boost on the 20det at 4000 rpm and it feels fantastic to drive. bucket loads of torque and throttle response is fantastic.

I have a few annoying things to sort out.

the water temp sensor from an RB25 does not work on a 20 computer. so i have to track a 20det one down.

one of the cam seals is leaking. bugger... covers, balancer, camgears, rocker covers, timing belt off to replace it. it is just a drizzle but it has o be done.

I have also had to fabricate some bits that i will replace with original bits further down the track,

I ran out of time and had to put the engine in with the original unmodded mounts. so the bonnet would not close. I removed the bonnet heat shield and cut out small sections of reo where needed and refitted the sheilding and it now fits with 3mm washers between the hinges and bonnet.

I will get the mounts lowered 10mm later and all will be good.

she looks stock as a rock and pulls like a cut bastard! hehe

the whole thing cost me about double what i budgeted (this always happens with conversions) but really was worth it.

I am moving to VIC on the weekend and will not get to tuning till I am settled but will be aiming for 270rwkw with instant response. its still a street car and needs to be daily driven so i am not going to crazy.

hey r33 racer

when i was welding the -10 fittings on the covers i was ment to weld up the hole where the pcv valve gose but i forgot

as for the plenum it is a hypertune one they dont make them for 25 yet but they will be soon

there not cheep but i think there worth the money i want to do some testing on it to see what there like against the greedy and stock items but as you would know its not a easy thing to go changing plenums

^^ I used a 25DE head out of an R32, almost identical the the 20 in terms of layout and sensors etc. Only problem encountered was when I snapped the water temp. sensor, the 25DE item made it run in cold start all the time. Had to robbed one off an R32 RB26 manifold and it worked a treat. Car is running on the 32 gtst ecu so it should be just as easy with the 20 pfc >_<

How do people in QLD go about having there rb25/30 legal? Im looking into building a rb25/30 for my r32. There seems to be plenty of people making big power on stock rb30's. What sort of stock pistons would you use in a rb25/30 to maintain the desirable compression ratio?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
