hey im looking at doing a twin cam convertion to my RB30e

i just wona know besides ecu whats the diffrence between a RB25DE and RB25DET (minus the VVT)

cause one of my friends has a 33 with a 25DET and is going to put in a RB26DETT so i was gona see i can get the eng of him and put it on mine. i know the comp will be lower and ill be getting forgys any way when i do the build.

im stick to na this is why im asking about the DET head

the head set-ups are different, they have different pistons, valve springs, cams, injectors fuel regulators, other than that not much, pretty much if you are going to up-grade the head in any way it wouldnt matter if you went with a turbo or na head but people always go with the na head cause i ends up with a higher compression ratio i think mainly cause of the pistons, and you wouldnt need forgies if you were building up a stock rb30de you could just use the 25de pistons and get 10.5-11ish:1 comp ratio, biggest prob is high comp forged na pistons are hard to find

I'm going to disagree with the above post, there isn't any difference in the R33 RB25DE/T head it's self, they are the same has the same cams, lifters and valve springs (according to the R33 engine manual), how ever the above post is correct in saying the injectors and pistons are different.

Using The RB25DE pistons in a RB30DE will give you a compression ratio of 10.4:1 - 10.5:1

If using a R33 head you don't have to keep it vct, all you need to do is remove the R33 VCT cam and replace it with the intake cam and cam wheel from a R32 RB20DET, the cam specs for the RB20DET are 240 duration with 7.8mm lift. Simple bolt in job and no more vct.

correct, the injectors and pistons are different.

and it would be difficult to get 11:1 ration without some block/head decking and thin gasket.

high comp forged na pistons shouldnt be too hard, i have read somewhere that the VG30(?) pistons should fit - look into bore, stroke and other specs of other available nissans. you'd be surprised.

thanks guys, witht the build i was going to use a motec m800 ecu (when i get the money) and also potenterly put nos in to the build that was my reason for the forged pistons.

it is becomeing very hard to find a full rb25de head with loom and comp. thats why i was concidering the rb25det head and now i know i can get rid on vct i might use it.

thanks agan

r33 head plus rb25de pistons =10.43:1 compression ratio.. if you deck the block 0.75mm you will get 12:1 compression.

if my engine needs a rebuild i will be going for 12:1 this time. just need to find out if i warped the crank or just broke the flywheel/clutch...

vvt is great. helps keep it nice and torquy.

25det injectors are a bouns. i have 25de and there running at about 80% duty cycle.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
