Hi Guys!

I wonder if anyone know how much KW an unported rb25det head can handle on an rb30? Is it worth fitting Tomei Poncams and harder valvesprings on an unported head?

If the bottom is forged, balanced and has a nitto or Tomei oilpump with the longer crank collar would it be safe to rev 8000-8500 with the std hydraulic lifters?

I also wonder if it´s worth keeping the NVCS when build an rb30 or is it better to not use it, As the rb30/25 has enough torque at low rpms?

I will use Ethanol as fuel if it matters.

Sorry for newbie quests :cheers:

realy impressive! Wonder how much more poncams would do if it´s worth it before porting it?

you must have DEEP pockets, you would be looking at around $1000 just for the cams alone. . . the oil pump is right up there too

Keep the VCT - no such thing as too much torque.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
