hey

can i drill and tap the rb25 block to 12mm to suit a rb26 head myself?

or would it be best left to the pros, also where in sydney and how much?

also would i be able to use the standard rb26 ecu and loom.......rb26 head on rb25 bottom end

cheers, josh

I've gotta ask... whats the motivation for this?

You have VCT with the 25 head. Get an adaptor made to get the ITB's if that is what you are after, otherwise a RB25 head even stock innards holds 350rwkw without a drama, plenty of people dont that now on stock head gear.

Failing that i would be going a NEO head, not a RB26 one.

And drilling the block is not such a good idea. I now there are people who will say 'but I've done it and never had an issue' but it does weaken the block and is not completely necessary.

You can just use the 25 studs but it is advised to have ARP washers with a larger OD to suit the head.

what needs to be done? i might scrap the rb25 idea

will it go straight on the rb30 block? s2, i have a rb30 lying around as well, i need the car to pass a blue slip not sure if rb30 engine capacity is allowed for r33 gtst

i am thinking of rb25de pistons ceramic coated rb30 standard bottom end

then all i need is a ecu for it

If your going to waste time with DE pistsons, rebuilds etc just to make use of a 26 head...

I suggest this as a much faster and more efficient alternative, no legalities, no worries and so on...

1. Sell RB26 head.

2. Buy complete RB25

3. Install

Should work out around the same by the time you throw money about putting DE pistons in and so on for a cheap rebuild... you get an entire package ready to go.

If you also then have turbos and stuff lying around (to put on), then you sell off the RB25DET turbo gear and install your own.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
