hey guys just wondering what top end kits are people running i.e.

1. i would like to use the vct in the neo head so what oil pump and gears?

2. tomei do a range of pro and pon cams im thinking the of the pon cam type b????

3. also what springs and shims and retainers are people using for the cams

i wouldnt be wasting to much money on the head, all you need to make that power is drop in cams, upgraded springs, and cam gears for fine tunning.

a GT35 turbo or equivalent would be all you need.

CP Pistons 9.0:1

argo pistons will be fine check with engine builder for specs.

you should also keep in mind the costs of block & crank prep work. around that $1500.

before you start sending any blocks away have a clutch pressure plate, flywheel and the harmonic balancer sent to the machine shop with the block & crank to be balanced all together.

i get my machine shop to supply my with the correct bearing to suit.

hey thanks for getting back to me so quickly :) so are u saying that the valves and buckets+ shims are good for that much power? i have cam gears already

also i sent argo an email about there rb30 h rods and i worked out that there .160 thou smaller then my machinist said to get can anyone confirm that will be ok??

as for prep work my mate is the machinist lol and block was free (winning)

as for the clutch and flywheel is it rb30 or 25

Any aftermarket oil pump will do the trick. Tomei, Jun, HKS, Nitto or any other brand name pump. They all flow a shitload more then standard and will do the job fine. You will just need to get a collar.

You can get the tomei valve springs if they make them to suit the neo head. Tomei cams are fine. IVe only ever used the type a poncams. But cant see why the type b wont work. The Supertech valve train gear is great too. Especially since the dollar is so good atm. Not sure if they have stuff to suit the neo head though. I think thats the limiting factor with the neo head is lack of aftermarket parts in comparison to the rb25det head and 26 head.

What sort of specs are you after exactly on the H beam rods? Virtually any aftermarket rod will suit, so long as its for an RB30, Spool, eagle, argo, nitto whatever. The power you are going for is not that big that it warrants anything special. Piston choice is much the same. CP's will be fine, JE's or Ross or whatever your choice.

If you are using the rb25 gearbox, then use all your rb25 clutch and flywheel gear.

It's also a fairly loose power guide mate. A turbo to suite 500hp is vey different to 700hp. Eg. Gt35 wod be best for your 500hp goal, but won't do a whole lot more very comfortably. T04z will get you 600hp at the wheels, but will be a fair bit more lag compared to a gt35. And still, a t04z won't get you to 700hp. The engine build involved is the same for those targets, but the different turbos will make for a completely different car to drive. If it were me I'd stick to 500hp as I still like a little bit of response.

Nitto oil pump would b my choice as well. Heaps of praise around the forums for them.

I think te bigger factor rather then what pistons and rods you choose is how well it's put together.

Is this car for street or track?

also just getting spool rods for the bottom

do u know arias are a good brand Part Num:ap332104 does it suit the neo or do u have the part number for CP's, je's, Ross ????

cheers

for track work make sure an enlarged and gated sump is part of the parts list, even the best built engine wont last long without oil pressure.

Be careful with piston choice if you are using a neo head as they have smaller combustion chambers.

Type B 260 deg poncams give a slightly lumpy idle but seem to make more power everywhere on a 25 so they should be fine.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
