YOU f**kING BEAUTY!!!

The silvia runs!! Called up Decs from Garage 7, he's like ya gotta change these wires and it'll work. Made said changes, turned the key and sure enough that sweet, sweet RB sound filled the air...

... as well as the not so sweet sound of the loose harmonic balancer raping the timing belt cover something fierce :D

Oh well, it runs and that's a fking win in my book - now for some celebratory beers!! :(

Skids when the harmonic balancer and snapped stud in turbo is fixed :banana:

yoooouuuu motherfkr

i gotta save some more dough before i take my car to decs...

so it ran all good besides the said?

i was a little hesitant to pass on an engine that i never heard/seen running but im glad its all good.

ohhhhh, i have a white rb20 31 up the road from me, how convenient he just rumbled past :banana:

*sob*

oi Craig, whoever had this engine before you was a fuckin dumbcunt aye :(

They tried to take the harmonic balancer off or some shit, snapped 2 of the bolts and just left it. The cunt fkin wobbles all over the shop, theres a good 10mm of play. Not to mention some of the other dodgy shit we found along the way :D

Meh, we got the engine in, got it running and shit so I'm happy with me and my mates efforts, some other bastard can fix this harmonic balancer shit.

lol the bloke must've been lost as hey, some of the shit we looked at and was like 'wtf has this dude tried to do here?' :D

:(

Anyway, the shit runs, and it fires up better than it ever has thanks to me wiring up the right shit now, so fk it gonna pay someone else to do the balancer and turbo stud - cbf with that shit.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

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

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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?
