Got the head back last week. It better go as good as it looks.

It's had 13hrs worth of porting done, valve seating, head plained, new heavy duty valve springs and cam followers.

The cams are new 280° to match the intakes.

We just have to setup the cams in the head and it's ready to go on for the test fitting of the itb's.

Hopefully the fabrication of these will be done in the next week or two.

The ports have had a lot of work done on them to change the size and entry angle of the port to the valves, should make a good difference there.

This week I have to sus out an ECU to run the thing.

oh man..

oh baby..

that so farkin hot!

Could I ask a rough price for the project?

Could you write up how much better the responce is? how much and where in the rev range the improvements where?

Dunno Rach, just kinda doing it on the side. At the moment I'm waiting for some alloy tube to turn up for the runners, then it's a matter of getting it all tigged up.

Think I'm going to run a Link G3 with a tps and map.

You think thats hot, wait till I've got the trumpets on it, mmmmm. :D

Cost so far... NZ$300 for itb's and NZ$2,900 for the head and cam work (mates rates!)

My mate is doing the CNC machining, so I'll see if I can buy him out with beer. :D

Hey mate,

Nice work. Looking good.

I recently built an RB30DE using 25DE head from an R32 with a modified RB26 6 throttle inlet to fit. Throttle response is unbelievable! I find myself rolling off the power just so I can nail it again. Havent go mine fully tuned yet... Only tuned to 4000rpm. It currently makes 86kW at wheels at 3000rpm (10BTDC and a little rich) so I cant wait to unleash it!

Yours should be somthing along these lines too!! What compression did you end up with?

Again mate, awesome work!!

Cheers for the comments guys. I want to have it going for next season, so that's Novemberish.

Hopefully it sounds good, only 2ltrs though so hopefully I don't have to rev the rse off it to get the benifit out of the itb's.

SR20's sound like rse, I thought the world of rallying could do with the sweet RB sound :P (SR would be better for weight distribution)

Nosmo, what ecu and sensors are you running? I'm not sure of the compression, it's on a bit of paper somewhere. Kelfords were instructed to set the head up for the highest possible compression I can run on 98 octane. MSNZ is outlawing Avgas at the mo.

ECU time...

What are your guys thoughts and experiances with Microtech LT12s ECU's?

A performance shop has recomended this to me and the price seems very fair, as long as it does what I want it to.

I need to read a Toyota TPS, aftermarket MAP sensor and do all the fuel and spark as per stanadard RB20.

Cool. Sounds like the LT12s comes with the MAP sensor going by what the supplier tells me, which will save me a few dollars. He's quoted NZ$1,650. Way cheaper that what I've been looking at previously.

That's why I'm a little bit sceptical.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
