No, its the Garrett version, I cant see paying near double the price for 100-200rpm worth while, rather spend that money in more usefull places.

I think the biggest thing with a T04z is if you want it to run nice on the street is to use a well design twin scroll manifold and use a smaller A/R turbine, I find it far easier to drive because it rolls into boost much smoother than the GT35, top end responce on the track now is also night and day, I chopped off 2 seconds around our 1.20ish track swapping to the T04z, on the street you can feel it powering up at 3000rpm by 3500rpm its at 7psi and by 4000rpm its on fire, suits my driving style perfectly.

hi all,

Car is back on stands, engine and driveline are out.

Have to go to Bunnings to get 1 engine stand bolt!! (seem to have lost one)

Then it will be getting stripped down.

Surprising how easy it is to pull an engine out once you have done it a few times.

Car was up, engine and box was out in an hour lol Probably could have been quicker but i spent 10mins trying to get the circlip off the shifter with a set of long nose pliers :)

OK just an update.

Rather than fix the damaged head (which looks like it would cost alot to weld up and grind) i purchased a whole RB25DET long engine and will be using the head off that.

But everything in that head will be replaced ie: Valves,Guides,Seat,Valve seals the lot. So it will be a brand spanking new head when its all finished :)

I also bought new pistons (Mahle) and i cant believe the quality of these things! ( :( Steve-o )

Ultra light, Teflon skirts, carbon rings very nice indeed.

And i have sold the Poncams and replaced them with HKS items in256 8.8mm ex264 9.0mm Just so i can squeeze a little more out of my setup.

Things have been rather busy so the bottom end is still not stripped down. Hopefully next weekend we will get cracking, we now have 2 engines to strip :)

Where is the best place to get Mahle pistons for a Rb26/30? My engine builder wants to use CP but I'm keen to check Mahle out.

Matt

you'll be extremely lucky if you can find a set in the country. best bet would be to source them from the states

i bought my set from http://www.importperformanceparts.net/

tho they are bit more expensive with the current exchange. tho fairly cheap still.

they dont list a price, but trust me when i say its the cheapest i could find!

Hioctane check them out where i purchased mine. Also mahles arent & easy piston to fit they require a lot more mods to fit as they hit oil squirters have to be spaced to fit properly. they arent like your cps or arias that go straight in & theres something else as well cant remember but overall once there in there nice. They are prob one of the best piston around.

Yeah im sure about the 26s have somethings that have to be adjusted to fit the mahles. Ill ask andrew who built my engine & let ya know. something about skirts hitting somewhere & something else. But like i said ill ask him & let you guys know

That's ok, my Rb30 doesn't have oil squirters. Are the rings ok if you can get them in without breaking them?

I would think very carefully about that. RB26s also have oil squirters... if their RNN14 pistons foul the squirters there's a good chance they don't clear the 26 ones either. i would check it very carefully. :P

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
