first off is this true i got told that only pushrod motors have valve bounce.

secondly that 7m gte engines are shit cuz they blow head gaskets and corrode out the head

thirdly what sort of limiter do rb25s use ( are all rbs the same) and are neos and r33 rb25 both limited at 7000 or thereabouts

and lastly will a stock rb25 turbo make 300rwhp

Thanks for your help

A. No. overhead cam engines can float valves with the best of them

B. No they are not shit, Yes they do have an inherint problem with head gaskets. A set of head studs and a decent gasket and you have a motor as good as the 2j

C.Mine came speed limited, Not rev limited

D.yes

220rwkw from stock turbo, no way. Suprised about the amount of people who think they can get over 200rwkw on the stocker.

it can be done. it probably won't last very long but it can be done. most people will tell you that the stock turbo stops making power at about 13psi (because they read it on the internet so it must be true), but i can tell you that is wrong. i have seen it with my own eyes. stock turbo running 16psi made about 20kw more at 16psi than it did at 13psi in back to back runs. so even if you say that the dyno was reading high and ignore the total power figure it made, back to back runs with just enough time between runs to wind the boost up showed a 20kw gain where most people will say that it won't make any extra power or will lose power.

also my tuner has a rb25 in his cerfiro and he is making between 210 and 215kw @12psi on the stock turbo. the reason why i say "between" is because he has had it on his dyno and another workshops dyno (before he got his dyno) and they were both within a few kw of each other.

Are you saying 20rwkw? That's a big jump from 13psi to 16psi on the stock turbo man. Your talking around 30-35HP at the engine on something that is allready pushing at its limit. Must have been a freak of an engine/turbo or something.

pretty sure it was about 20kw at the wheels. (was over a year ago now, so memory is getting a bit dodgy). but it was certainly up around there somewhere.

(1) that 7m gte engines are shit cuz they blow head gaskets and corrode out the head

Thanks for your help

The 7m- GTE dose not like big boost on standard motor.

Also they do tend to leak oil a lot more then RB's do.

The main problem is that toyota did not torque down the head enough. Which is why a lot of guys go the metal gasket route and new bolts all round.

7M's are a much under rated engine....I rate them better than RBs

I would not go as far as saying the 7m-GTE is a better engine then the RB

If you have ever pulled apart an old 7m-GTE and seen the oil pump setup on these then you will see why. These engines were designed before the RB25/26.

If you are talking about 1jz-GTE or 2jz-GTE then yes you are correct.

If i had to decided to either buy a 7m-GTE or RB i'll choose the RB , mainly because parts, standard or after market are so easy to get for RB.

What makes you say that?

Have you tried?

I havnt done this personally but I know a guy who has. form memory He made 302rwhp on S1 RB25DET maxing the shit out of the injectors and running 16-17psi.

I'm not saying its a good thing but yes as it has been stated multiple time, it can be done.

not really. as far as the actual engine goes the 2-jz is a much better/stronger engine than the rb26, and anyone who knows about engines, no matter how much of a nissan fan they are, will say the same. most of the toyota engines are better built than their nissan counterpart.

Stock does about 130rwkw, I find it hard to belive that Nissan left 90rwkw in the bag for us to unlock.

I had a HKS 2530 that did 220rwkw @ 17psi. Its a bigger turbo than the stocker.

I don't count time-bomb setups as being legitimate power figures. If it isn't bullet-proof its a waste of time.

Regardless, he did it and we all saw it.

Of course this wasnt the actual tune he finished with. It was to see what the limits were of the stock gear and as i said everything was at there absolute limit. Yes, there are many variables but on that particular day, on that dyno blah blah blah thats what that particular enging achieved.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
