Gents,

stock seal on exhaust side not handeling the heat and crank case presure - who knows where the best seals are under these types of conditions . There is nothing wrong with the installation other than what i have mentioned .

Any direction in respect to where i can purchase appreciated.

hey dave i had a leaking seal too and it was from not putting some gasket goo on the front cam cap to seal the 2 little slits in it, the workshop manual doesnt even mention it needs it but its been on every motor ive pulled apart and worked perfect, maybe this isnt it but just thought it was worth a mention.

cant wait to see it out of the track too, i have been keeping a keen eye out for it every meet :P

Thanks for the info - engine dyno'd this week - ust over 1000 hp at 29 lb - plenty left - just the cam seal issue.

Not a silly question - but yes they are. Bought some HT Vitons today - should do the trick.

Yeah the vitons will be heaps better if you are suffering from external heat issues, they are alot more heat resitant than the nitrile ones! you could also pull the spring out of the back of them and shorten it a little to put a bit more tension on it if it needs it..

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
