Rb25/30 Neo

[drgnball34]

theres at least another 6wk waiting peroid for the haltech plug and plug to be released. Dont know weather i should just piggy back the standard ecu or go for another ecu all together. The tuner recommened the ems?

[Mitchee]

Have you tried putting the bonnet on yet?

[drgnball34]

lol we were discussing that yesterday at the workshop. Ive got a z-tune carbon one from musecret. The vents in the middle should be adequate...i hope....

[Spoolup]

yes sounds feasible - but are you planning to run the neo lifters as well ? So you will have an under bucket shim and a over buck shims ( sounds like to many shims :-) ) - or are you planning to run a different lifter bucket ?

ok, it seems your right but i think i have a plan. Im gona use gtr retainers and shims as they shim from underneath, so that will imitate the tipping your talking about. then, ill have to find some springs thatll be suitable or get some made, that shuldnt be too much of a prob. wat do ya think wise one?

[drgnball34]

btw i couldn't decide what ecu to get so went the the very best....no looking back

[R34GTFOUR]

motec?

Im guessing Autronic SM4??? I just picked up a new AEM 30-1900U universal EMS to run my 30NEO . I probably wouldnt have bought it if i had to pay retail price for it (around $US2800) But i got got it cheaper. The main deciding factors for me was twin knock sensor control built in which i dont believe the E11v2 or the wolf V500 has, as well as dual wideband 02 controllers built in. the only downside is it only has 5 ignition outputs so i have to run wastespark setup on a 6 cylinder.

oh by the way spoolup, to reply to your last post, i havnt really had time to work on the head, but thats the plan: run gtr retainers, make sims for underneath, and also run the shims on top, although i think ill grind the top ones lower and have a thicker shim on the bottom

Have you fitted the bonnet yet?

[drgnball34]

nope bonnet wont shut......chop and crop time.

[satanic]

Chopping the stock bonnet or the aftermarket one?

I've just spaced mine up for now, still looking for inspiration n balls to chop the standard bonnet.

[drgnball34]

choping my cfb. tried spaces but it rasied the back too much.

looking nice, did you just put the rb26 covers on?

What was hitting with the bonnet? I hear somepeople having issues when running the stock manifold because of the extra height, but with a greddy plenum i would of thought that would of given enough clearance??

how much chopping do you need to do?

who is tuning this beast in Perth?

its the front of the cam cover thats hitting the bonnet. My cfb has vents in the middle which happens to hit it so we going to cut across it and use mesh to cover the gap. Abit hard to explain but will post pics to better understand. Steve from top racing will be tuning it.

im not sure if it is just the picture but in the top pic with the cooler piping showing it looks like your bottom radiator hose clamp is broken. i might just be seeing things tho...

is top racing building this motor as well

[Adriano]

Curious, what valve clearances did you end up running?

very good observation mate. Even i didnt pick that up. I havent been back since that pic was taken but shall check and see. Yes top racing built it by steven lee. They sub contract him for rebuilds so i havnt seen or spoken to him for months. But when i get the chance will get all the specs of the engine.

Can't wait to see how this goes! Which nitrous kit did you end up going? The Nos universal wet system?
