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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
