Yep, I figure there is no point getting another engine for it to just lift the head again. This way with the L19's I know the head studs are good for 1500hp or more.

It looks like VQ25's have the same head bolts as the VQ3.5de hence the same head lift issues at around 500whp. Anyone pushing for over 300kw would have to consider these L19's at some point.

Its easy, twin gt40's sticking out the bonnet should get me there. lol.

Thanks Dale but im more than happy with the powah it has now, It looks like I will have to do open heart surgery on my poor engine though, and Gleeson's.

my point exactly! i didnt know of any other ways to tell you its a waste of time and money to be fishing for a new engine with no history of it.

What can you do, no-one could have predicted I would stretch head bolts. Looks like the little 25 is not as tough as I thought. Hopefully its just the studs though.

Anyway, we can rebuild it, we have the technology... lol.

Lol, only joking...

It'll be interesting to have a proper look with the heads off, to see how bores, piston crowns & heads look after the number of km's you've done at your elevared power level.

Just how tough did you think it was?

It did overheat prior to this problem due to a radiator issue and has been pushing over 300awkw for a while now.

Not bad for an unopened 2.5.

Agreed, but if the head studs are all that need changing (and that's understandable at probably 600 flywheel hp) then lets do it and get on with tuning. Its not expensive in the scheme of things just inconvenient. Looks like i succeeded in finding the limits of the unopened engine anyway. lol.

I have never seen the temp gauge much over half way, not sure if it overheated or what. I always seemed to catch it in time, lucky I have the informeter... I think it's just the combustion pressure and that is what the VQ35 guys are saying too. Weak ass 3.5 bolts.

Id say you proven the stock vq25 to be very strong so far. I consider the head gasket and bolts the fusible link in an engine and your just tripped.

Yours is still testament to the strength of the factory bottom end. Good job and look forward to the finished result of the 76.

Agreed although it might pay to look into custom head gaskets while waiting for the studs to arrive.

Might as well do it while the top is off.

I can't find any, do you mean copper gaskets or Cometic, apparently the Cometic ones are crap and I doubt they make them for the smaller bore. At least they come in different thicknesses for the VQ35de's though. I have just ordered the stock head gaskets from Nissan but I have to rebuild 2 engines so if you can find a stronger hg option i'm all for it.

Frankly, if the head bolts stretch; even a million dollar gasket won't save you.

At least the Nissan gasket is a known quantity; sort the clamping issue and the problem will likely be gone.

Agree with dale, the cometic ones won't be any better than the stock metal one from Nissan, they are both multi layer gaskets, once shit gets in between them they need to be changed.. The L19's and some new head gaskets from Nissan and it should definitely not be the weakest part in your engine

Scott should shave the head while theyre off :P

higher comp with the 3071 and smaller rear housing would of been sweet and punchy as to drive around the street, but limited to 330-350

but try telling that to these damn horsepower junkies :P

Thing is if you get a bigger (3 or 3.5lt) engine chances are your going to need a bigger turbo then as well, I mean a 3076 is often considered just big enough for an rb30 and nearly all go bigger Gt35s...I think be best just to get a 2.5 up and running again, maybe slightly higher comp for kicks..most importantly sort out the overheating issues...

I may have to get the head decked anyway but they wouldn't be taking much off. I'm keeping the 2.5 for now.

I ordered the oem head gaskets today, and ended up getting the ARP L19 head studs for $399us. They should all be here in two weeks so that's how long I have to get the engine out and disassemble/check it. All going well it should be back on the dyno within a month or so, just got to learn how the pull a VQ down and reassemble it now. :)

well you got plenty of engines to practice on...its just a head job, how hard can it be..

just dont strip any bolts/threads..ended up costing me 130$ to get that little m6 retapped and helicoiled..:( but i had it running 2 hours later :thumbsup:

Ouch, not too bad considering you hacked at it with drill bits for hours though. :)

Thread doctor good to you? He didn't want a bar of my snapped thread with an easy out snapped off in it... I managed it by myself though.

So...under 300awkw should be find right? RIGHT?!?!?!?? no stud stretching for me yeah?

I ask because I plan to flog the hell out of the car in 61 days time....well at least for the 1st month anyway!!! :whistling:

After a visit to Cihan that is...

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
