hey guys, ive just got my rb25 block and rb26 crank back from the machine shop and i was planning on getting it Cryotemp frozen. ive heard it works really well. milanco had that et pulsar that ran 11s and all it had was all the internals cryo'd. also my work mate had his 2lt turbo pinto block done and after 2 meets it had to be pulled down cause of a knock to find a cracked bore. could have just been a dodgey cast from factory though... has any1 else had good/bad experiences with cryotempering? thanks, adam.

nismoid, im hoping to get around 500rwhp out of it. ive got forged rods/pistons, type a cams and springs, lots of headwork and alot of money lol the list goes on of all the usual mods. that why i thought while it was out i might aswell do what i can do strengthen up the block and crank while im at it. its not 400rwkw but i dont like things near there limits, id rather overdo something the 1st time rather then not and be paying for it big time later on..

its not near the limit, was my point.

a stock setup crank will go well over 450rwkw +

Had before, will do many many more times.

Cryo is a big thing here in the states. Guys have their blocks done, cranks, rods, pistons even bearings. I've never heard anything but people talking good about it. So if you have the extra coin, why not just get it done to be safe right?

used it on gear box internals with mixed results, it is hard to quantify the results and really depends on what your getting cryo treated. I find the jap stuff seems to be better material than stock over say the old yank V8 iron that is really driving the cryo bus.

Another good point ... If you have the money, why not just buy the best of the best parts. Then you should not have to cryo treat!

thanks for the info! got a quote today, $180 for the crank and block. going to drop it off on friday and will be ready by monday.

i would love to have the money to buy the best of the best lol by the time this engine is finished it will be owing me 18k, thats with me doin all the work, so i dont really wanna blow out anymore than i already have. an extra $180 is very affordable compared to say a new block and crank.

thanks for all the input guys, adam.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
