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

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

look has no one finished building there 25/30

???????

2. tomei do a range of pon cams im thinking the of the pon cam type b???? any used them???

3. also what springs and shims and retainers are people using for the cams in the neo head???

also does anyone have the specs on a argo h beam conrods????and what piston to suit or rods for about 700hp or more?

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.

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
