The story so far…

I currently own an 86 Hr31 coupe, sporting a RB20DET NICS. Purchased back in 05.

The poor old NICS is a solid reliable runner, I couldn’t fault this engine. Reliability was a major factor for me and I found this engine was great,

Serviced myself. I stood steadfast that it would be maintained un modified. I loved the car for what it was, even choked by the tiny turbo.

Now that my daily driver is a mighty corolla, the Skyline is enjoying retirement and some needed surgery.

The surgery;

Turf the old and in with the hybrid Rb25/30,

Ok so this is what I have so far

1 x Rb25DET out of a S2 R33 1996

1 X Rb30e out of a S3 R31 1990

What I had envisioned was to run the Rb25-30 NA. What I want is more torque, throttle response and a soundtrack from the NA out the back!

Reasons for not going turbo, $$$$$$ and unusable power for a car that doesn’t hit the track, drift or drag.

    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
    • I had double clamped all the pipes but I checked them over any way, everything tight and secure. feels and sounds like a electrical short/failure, as it is an abrupt and aggressive stumble, that instantly comes and goes right at 4k mark...like clock work fuel pump and filter are new new coils and plugs injectors where cleaned and tested 200 miles plus ago no black smoke cleaned MAF   same results, other ideas? some other sensor?  
    • Yes, just without the annoying use of the word hybrid. We stopped using that term 20 years ago when we realised it meant different things to different people. Even "highflow" can represent more than one way of achieving the goal of getting more flow out of a turbo. But at least it says what it does on the box.
    • OH, when they say "solid buckets", I always interpeted that as "shimless". (Which is not the same as the "shimness word I invented above to represent the same idea that the buckets act as shims also!!). Still the same problem though. So it appears that buying a "kit" from Tomei is a two step process. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense in the context of a "kit" though.
    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber
