Needs more updates with pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes i know its been awhile, John is doing the final stages on the venturi dump will have pics this week sometime. Also he is in the process of desigining the plunger infront of the turbo!!!! more details to come soon.

The motor builder is looking at drilling the head to relief air locks. Will have full detailed pics on how we will fix this problem.

hahah i love that quote bobby!! some time this year!! heres to hoping u get an early xmas present!! good luck !

Thats at least a realistic goal.

The last car build I started took 3 years to finish! Way too long, as I got so frustrated with how long things were taking I had time to buy an R34 and design an engine upgrade for it!

This is deadset one amazing build... I'm still dumbfounded by the perfection of the turbo manifold. As a Fabricator myself, I learnt early that I would never know as much as the older guys. It's a shame that real fabrication is a dying art... Metalurgists are a dime a dozen. I would trade in everything to have a fraction of John's skills and knowledge... But enough of the tradesman envy.

I can't wait to hear this thing start up once it's complete. You better be posting a video, haha. Money is nothing when it comes to experimention and perfection, and by the looks of it you have succeeded. Keep up the great work! I'll be making sure my eyes are glued on this build.

Cheers

      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?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason 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).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that 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!?!?
