In what?

Hydrolic lifters wouldn't find it amusing,

should net a nice amount of power extra though, eith larger TB and free flowing exhaust

Its going in an rb25de neo....how much are solid lifters these days? and wat size piping you think will be best i have 2 1/4 now im thinking 2 3/4. Cheers mate

RB25 neo's already have solid lifters, not sure how much lift they can handle though. They also have crappy exhaust cams, i reckon you'll get a decent amount out of it with some cams.

As for exhuaust, its really depends how much power you think you'll get out of it... a free flowing (mandrel, good mufflers) 2.5" really should be enough to be happy at ~ <160rwkw N/A (mandrel, good mufflers etc). Not sure how much you can get out of 2.25", but i'd guess if you were making much more than ~ 135rwkw, you'd want to increase the size.

If you have future intentions for nitrous, boost, or some more serious N/A work, 2.75" wont hurt anything, just for that extra resolution (car will be happy <200rwkw).

What other mods do you have? Done anything with intake? What about management? Cams like that are going to feel fairly flat without a tune, either a piggyback that handles ignition (like emanage ultimate) or full management.

i have

-cold air

-2 1/4 exhaust

-high flow cat

-emanage ultimate (not installed yet)

is the 2.25" mandrel bent?

If not, I wouldn't change it just for the hell of it, do some other stuff first and when its tuned, your tuner should tell you if there is too much backpressure, and if its whats choking your engine.

Can emanage ultimates alter VCT? As that will definately need adjustment for cams with that duration.

But yeah, in a nutshell, your car will love those cams with the gear it has. When you get it tuned, you will see if its being choked from the intake or exaust.

If i was you, as a next mod i'd put twin throttle body's on your intake manifold, shouldnt be too hard since it has the twin input Y peice as it is.

Granted its higher capacity, but with alot milder cams (255/8.3), my 30DE with twin 60mm throttle's, uses every last bit. Also, with exaust, it had 2.5" press bent, with a 2.25" section (decat pipe), it made 150rwkw, but tapered off quickly, it always felt flat after peak power aswell, after i fitted a 3" mandrel exhaust (2.75" wasnt available) that was no longer an issue and it held power strong until limiter.

Its not mandrel bent and not sure if you can alter vct with emanage and wouldnt vct go with new cams?

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
