I've recently had a RB25DE head rebuilt, ported and polished.

He didn't polish the Intake ports up much as its best to leave them a little rough.

He also did few other little bits inc. removing some material around the valves in order to help the gas enter/leave the comb chamber.

I wonder if it will lower the compression?!?

I've made the pics smaller they are around 50kb each.

Chris Milton Engineering concentrated on the exhaust ports so when I get some decent pics of the exhaust ports I'll post em'.

I'll be interested to see the exhaust ports :P

I've just ported my RB25DET head but apart from a bit of smoothing and polishing I left the the combustion chambers alone. I wonder how much benefit there is from de-shrouding the valves ?

They checked out the std valves and said they were in perfect condition so they didn't replace them. He said there was no wear on the valve stem.

It was worth just under $900. Chris had the best price and the most experience with these heads. I gave Adelaide Engine Developments a buzz and with slightly less work done they wanted $1100.

Bl4ck32 also had his head done at the same time so I guess it was a bit of a bulk job.

The head will be going on a 3ltr bottom end soon :P

Yer it was Freebaggin...

You are blowing heaps and heaps of black smoke...

You pulled out of the corner near lonsdale?

I was hoping you were going to give it some stick as I was in the mood, I had just ate a old VH V8 thing with stally that chiped third gear.

I was sitting at the lights behind him he was like laughing with this big smirk probably thinking haha your going to get your arse kicked .

He then stalled it up with his stally but wheel spun through first, he chirp second, I had to short shift second then pinned third pulled out and over took rather quickly with his reving in my ear I clicked fourth and then pulled in front. :P Good ol' RB's and 16psi.

He had a "Only wine comes in 2ltrs" blue sticker on the back window. It was pretty slow for how it idled (rather lumpy) and the stally and gear chirps i.e 2nd and 3rd.

Meggala,

At first I'm going to keep using the stock box until it dies.

It should be ok as the traction won't be there hence tyre width.

I'm going to keep running the 225 50's until I get the RB25DET box in there. Until then.. it will be wheel spin in 4th.. :P

Maybe.. Don't really know but should be fun anyhow.

I'm also going to keep the HD 30% Organic clutch. That will most probably die before the gearbox.

I'm also ditching the Chrome Molly Flywheel and am going to go a balanced std. RB25DET item. I'd rather have the heavier weight of a stock flywheel to absorb the vibrations + the RB20DET clutches are slightly smaller than the RB25DET. I think.. ;)

Yep, it's a rich mixture but has the power so I don't mind, Tim and Shaun's doing.

Good to see you blew that git away! Only have 2 points left on license so have to take it easy for a while.

Good luck with 3L!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
