Rob what was changed though?

as really the rb25 head ports are the same as rb26, so i'd say your extra power was made from cam selection/solid lifters, head modification, intake plenum and the fact you are running 2psi extra boost. All which could be done to the rb25 head if someone was keen.

correct me if im wrong :thumbsup:

The 26 head was ported, oversize valves, 280 10.8mm cams, stock inlet, 6Boost manifold, Garrett T51r

The 25 head was ported, tomei 256in and 264ex cams, Greddy plenum, 80mm throttlebody, 6Boost manifold, Garrett T51r

Fair few differences, must have quite an idle with 280 cams :O

Who ported the head for you?? do you know what was done, was it ported for drag racing, outright power or mild post, smaller ports etc for all round performance? you running 1mm oversize on the intake and exhaust?

Do you have this going at the moment rob? or still having problems/rebuilding/upgrading :D

Proengines built the head after I was screwed over by a local mechanic (you know who)

Am running oversize on intake and exhaust. There was a flow chart posted on here somewhere of my head.

The engine has been in the car since August but just had to pull the sump off as it didnt seal. The goal is to have it running for powercruise next year.

We will fire it up on 98 and make sure everything is all good then will drop in the 2000s and get into the E85 :thumbsup:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
