Its going for a service soon, so hoping to change oils. Ive been using Motul 8100 5-40w fully sen since i started driving it on the road. So maybe a different oil could help? What do you guys reccomend?

Im also going to buy an ECUtalk cable of ebay, sus out shit some more, get a better idea of whats happening.

BTW, thats great fuel economy dude

Well if its the same oil you have been using since you bought the car shouldnt be that... I just noticed it with mine... that the loss was that great.

I honestly would put it on the dyno and see what your AFRs are like... Where abouts you located? I personally have been to 5 shops in QLD, I only trust 2 of them so If in QLD go to EFI or ERD.

Yeah its great it wasnt that good after I got it back the first time(it was detonating so I went elsewhere) and then EFI tuned my car and got it to 467hp :D

Hey might be a bit late but i thought that id add that i had the same issue and i replaced the thermostat sensor that runs to the ecu and i got an extra 75 - 100kms out of every tank.

Thanks for the feedback champ, will look into it..

Ive changed my oil, spark plugs, wheel alignment and balance, cleaned both mafs, and i couldnt be happier.

I still need to get my oxy sensor sussed out and that thermo sensor.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      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.

      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!?!?
