Yes, I'm new here and need some help with a little project. I'm putting a RB25DET into a UC Torana coupe. I'm not sure if that will get some peoples backs up, but here i am anyway.

Some of you peeps may have bought some parts from me on ebay. Anyway, i would love a picture of the inside of the fuse/relay box cover in the engine bay. I had one, but sold it. i thought I'd taken pics, but can't find them.

Car pictures.

I thought I'd post a picture so you guys know that I'm not a dreaming or pulling your leg. I'm on a few other forums and i know how it work for noobs like me.. :(

f**k YES! lol you rock. That car would be a handful when it's running.

Heaps of people have told me that. The funny thing is that I've never been in a skyline or driven one. the closest was driving a stagea.

The orginal engine plan was a RB30 with a SC14 supercharger. i got the engine in and running while the paint was rough. After stripping the car down and getting it painted i decided to get cracking on rebuilding the rb30 motor and chasing up a 5 speed. After doing the math, it was cheaper to buy a complete half cut R33.

So i sold the RB30 with SC14 blower and many parts from the half cut i didn't need. I stll have heaps of parts left over that i need to sell. How does it work on this forum with selling stuff? Do you need a certain amount of posts first?

The aim is to get the car up and running asap. I done things to the motor like a new excedy heavy duty clucth, machine flywheel,new rear main seal,all new exhauxt studs and gasket.

Also it has new timing belt,seals and pulleys. i still have new belts and plugs to install.

It should be interesting to drive....I can't wait.

So you're sticking an RB in a car which was single handedly responsible for a lot of mid-20's sin, depravity and probably at least responsible for about 3 reasons of "why I will go to hell"? :)

It was even that colour blue (well, that and primer) with a 308 piece of oil burning, GMH pushrod shit, iron boat anchor... Good job! :)

ummm his 250 will NOT be faster than the car, no way in hell! those cibby 250's are good for about a 14 second quarter, I am sure the UC hatch with a rb25 will be well into the 12's

Now I'm scared. I ordered a reco 9 inch 3.55 lsd centre and I will be running 17" VY SS rims. I'm really pushing to get this car done by December. I'll see how I go..Mony being the biggest hurdle followed by time.

Looking good. A mate did a similar thing but a rb26 into a tarana. Aweosme fun to drive but easy to get into trouble with lots of power and next to no weight :D

As in sliding around trouble or red and blue disco lights trouble?

This car is being built for towing and just a good all rounder car to drive. I love to go a power cruise in it. :P

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
