Yeah it has been painted over, but it was by the previous owner - at some stage I want to take it off and get it redone or stripped back to metal...

As for the TT pipe, actually bought that off here, it had been beadblasted back :banana:

i am so going to copy you lol..

looks as though you painted over on your plenum (i suppose due to flaking) if so what did you use cause i'll need to do that too haha

also how did you clean the twin turbo pipe?

is that actually a rb25 with rb26 rocket/cam covers? are they straight fit?

ii want to do something similar but with "RB30" writtn into it

anyone that could offer me tips would be GREAT!!!!

its an rb26 head and rocker covers onto an rb25

he has etched out a corner of the 6 to make it a 5

people have done it the same to make it say RB30 as well

you just work on the lettering of the 26 to make it say 30

Close :laugh: It's all RB25, including the head. It's an adapter to keep the ITB from the RB26, and like you said, the covers bolt right on. I did have to trim the "ears" of the backing plate some for the timing cover to fit. That's got to be tough to make it say RB30. Would you add extra material with a welder or somthing?

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
