In for a tuneup at Creatd near Broadmeadows tomorrow. I got an Auto House Tsukasaki PFC that has some maps, but until I get FC Datalogit or hand controller won't be able to access them. Otherwise the rear diff is shot and I get single wheelspin out of lefthanders on the track for about 200m. The engine is a dream and feels so good on the stock computer so I'm looking forward to a tune.

I was putting the engine together and was told the rod bolts were new but one wouldn't torque and then snapped at well below first torque. I then measured all the bolts and found 1-3 mm variation in length, so they had been clearly overtorqued before (therefore used). The xrays of the rods was fine though. New nissan rodbolts were about $100 but the wankers pack them in 5's so it took 3 deliveries to get the bolts.

I was on the skidpan with 160km of run in :cheers: and the instructor was amazed at how much power the barge had. No load on the pan so giving a few rpm is no sweat. Std computer it will spin through second on 11psi and for a bit into third so the PFC should light up my life.

I would prefer to keep my engine if I can. It's in pristine condition with low kms. I just don't know if it's a possibility though. I always thought that you should be able to tune your aftermarket turbo to outperform a stock turbo, but with all the discussion of low psi, compression ratios etc, how is this possible?

What exactly is the discrepency between low boost and high boost. Different rev ranges? I'm a clueless newbie in this department :|

hey guys,

as a bit of a sidetrack, anyone know how hard it is to transplant a NEO-RB25DET out of an auto Stagea into a NEO-RB25DE R34??

The sump has to be changed.

The wiring loom is different (how??).

Anyone care to expand on this. Much appreciated.

My understanding is the R33 RB25DET uses hydraulic lifters, and depending on your year model have different rods, the lucky owners have rods very similar to RB26s

The R34 RB25DET NEO uses solid lifters and all use the stronger rods that are similar to RB26 rods.

So when you say the same as 25/20DET engines i assume you are referring to R33s? Gut feeling tells me all DEs use hydraulic lifters, including R34 neo making it significantly different to the turbo NEO engine...suspect the rods of the NA NEO are also the weaker types? Dont knpw just suspect, hence asking the question

Hi Roy,

Sorry must have been pissed, didn't see your rod question. I've seen 2 types of rods in the RB25 engines. One is very average( in the DE) and the other is isn't too bad(probably not worth risking above ~ 350rwhp). Rb 26 rods will go on the 25 crank- i have them on mine. As an extra precaution I shotpeened and linished just to be safe- cause i could

Been searching trying to find out what the differences between NEO turbo and non turbo heads as I and trying to find out if I can use a Non turbo head when I build my engine.

I am not worried about cams or springs as I will be replacing them. Are the inlet and exhaust runners and valves the same size? Is the combustion camber the same volume?

Cheers, Alex.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
