Everyone wants something different...thats why we get body kits and big ass turbos and fmics and sht like that...

im interested in something different aswell....

i was thinking of putting the rb26 head on my rb25....

i have been told that it can be done but you just have to change some water jackets or something....

i pose a new question.....can a R34 Neo head be put on our block and get the more advanced VVT system? :cheers:

im not a mechanic and im learning as im going

thanks for any input... :O

ps. i presume i would need an r34 eco too...

Hey Fane , talk to Steve @ SST , he and Grant (Per4manz) have flow tested heads b4. I have heard that a flowed 25 head can outflow stock 26! Also , saw an RB26 head on JMS website for $2000!!! After all that , a stock turbo isn,t goin to get the most out of a flowed head IMO.

Cheers :cheers:

The Neo head has nothing to offer. The RB26 head would perhaps offer a better starting block for a big power setup, mild it's a serious waste of money for $2k.

A bang for buck mod looks like the 264 deg exhaust camshaft with a stock intake cam based on some computer sims. Upto 50hp over the standard and up everywhere over the rev range without any sacrifice to off boost.

My car is a few days from completion.Engine should be fully assembled and in engine bay by today. We will see how the computer sim works in real life.

thanks alot rev210

i was hoping you were going to reply...

this is a very future mod...and the 26 head is looking a bit more appitising....but i'll be doing the whole lightened flywheel and crap like that first....

just dont want to do stuff that cant be used if i do a future mod...if you know what i mean... :)

ps. GL with your car dood, pics?

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
