Currently I have RB25DET and RB25DE engines apart and have compared the covers. The RB25DE has the same covers as a RB20DET (eg flat top) and the RB25DET has a raised section in the rear half of the cover.

On inspection inside the RB25DET cover has improved oil management in the rear half of the cover where the raised section is.

In theory all of the covers are interchangeable as they all bolt up but the RB25DET covers provide the best oil management.

so, in theory, the raised section isnt there to clear anything, its there to ventilate.

i wonder if there would be any negative effects of putting the 20 covers on the 25det. i would think something like this would have been addressed somewhere on the internet but it just isnt.

Why do you want to downgrade your car?

oh thats an awesome theory. putting rb20 rocker covers on it is downgrading it.

so, ill dig up some rb26 rocker covers and upgrade it instead. thats brilliant.

come on man, if you dont have an information, dont bother posting, or be big enough to say "ya know, i dont fuggin have a clue" unless you just want to up your post count, and if thats the case, just post a big smiley face so at least we know what youre trying to accomplish.

Mate if i was trying to increase my post count i would be in the forsale section going "sweet ride" and "thats hot". I wasnt having a go at your idea at all, purely wondering why after finding out that the only difference between the rb20 and rb25 rocker covers is that the 25 one flows better, why would you want to swap it for one that has inferior flow? Fair question i believe...

Agreed.

And as far as i can remember, the hump actually does clear something at the back of the head. Theres some sort of gold coloured bracket.. ill try dig up a pic.

Not the best photo, but you can see them. Looks like the hump is there because of them? Or do 20's have them too?

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
