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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
