I guess the numbers can catch you out if your not careful... Quite confusing isnt it! So it sounds as though the only thing that will require a change is the oil returns. Bolt hole elongation from memory.

Once again thanks for the help guys.

Just checked my emails, the gasket kit was $283, i don't think that had post in that though.. ripped open one of the packets with a drain in it, bolt holes line up perfectly. Not going to reuse the old parts.

True. Originally was going to do the same.

I had planned on keeping the stock exhaust manifolds, just port matching them in/out. Are you keeping yours stock or swapping?

Stock, i was going to clean up the mating areas myself but found that the extra lip on them isnt actually a big deal as its not flowing into the flat edge but instead over it the other way. If that makes any sense. I've had the inlet port matched and i've been told thats all thats necessary. I think if i had the money lying around i might get Tomei exhaust manifolds but seeing as i dont im quite happy to run with the strong stock cast manifolds as they will hold heat well and dont need to be wrapped or coated to perform well.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
