Hi all.

Anyone know if the r33 rb25det series 1 and series 2 blocks are directly interchangeable I.e bolt on affair?

My mechanic is a bit hazy on the vtc oil return/feed in particular.

Basically my bottom end is rooted and found another bottom end on here but seller is unsure if it's a s1 or s2 block.

Thanks all.

^^ yeah im pretty sure bottom end is the same s2 run

diff coilpacks and have variable valve timming

and a few other bit different but only electrical stuff

its not variable valve timing,its variable cam timing and series 1 has it.

Yeah series 1 has VCT as well. However Both Series 1 and 2 use different electrical sensors.

That does not effect its interchangablity. As you can bolt up series 2 electrics to a series 1 block and not have issues.

yeah both s1 and s2 have VCT. also, slightly off topic, don't make the rookie mistake of thinking the s2 has the ignitor built into the ECU like many people do. it is built into the coils.

Wow haven't heard that one before.

LOL!

Thanks for th replies guys.

Upon further diagnosis, my head is stuffed too lol so won't be purchasing this bottom end from the seller. I'll let them know this info anyways as it should help 'em sell it.

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
