sry didnt know how to go about it, its a fair wack to just buy 1 then start to think about it :S

Mate a good idea to look into is seeing if any of your local Mechanics are familiar with Vi-pec ECU's they are very good and good value for money.. They are a tiny bit more $$ than the Apexi but with the vipec u dont need a AFM and with The Apexi u do so that save you some $$... i was going for a new computer and I asked my tuner which is better and at the time the vipec was cheaper than teh Apexi and he actually told me to go the Vipec as its a far better unit.... so for a tuner to pic a cheaper one and say its better is a fair endication of its quality in my mind...

But yeah mate best to research and shop around.. Remeber Power FC's are getting pretty old these days and the Tech in them is getting abit out dated

lol omg this is quite a shock as i was going to give mercury motorsport a call once i had purchased the fc for ur guys to tune it for me haha! i'll put the fc off for now till i get the time to call ur number an discuss it all with u, still keen on gettin a new power fc with hand controller tho, heard so many good things about them and everyone seems to think $1500 for a brand new one is a pretty good price???????

thanks for ur input guys i'll make my mind up when everyone has had their say :P

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
