I have a rb30 with a series 1 rb25det head vct. Have welded head and have done the internal vct feed. Blocked front oil restrictor and 1.5 restrictor in rear. I have a couple of questions. First of I'll be using the motor for torque more than power as it's in a 4wd. Will not be reved over 6 grand. What I need to no is what would be the best setup for this. I need turbo manifold, wiring loom and computer. What would people suggest for this setup. I have searched but as this is for a 4wd and not a drag car it is different

i'd suggest running both oil feeds if your using an internal feed for vct, especially if your not revving it much. in standard form the vct has its own 1.5mm feed and the 25 head has 2 x 1.5mm feeds, so a single 1.5mm for all 3 wouldnt be ideal.

a standard 25 or 30 oil pump will be fine for a mild 4wd setup.

a small highflow turbo would probably be perfect for 4wding, even a standard turbo if your not after any more than 180rwkw.

use a 25det loom and an ecu to suit a 25det

Except for turbo selection; As above. A STD turbo or even a hi-flow will run out of puff before 5k and would drastically restrict exhaust flow. Look at a turbo in the 450-550hp range. I use a gt3076r and is perfect for response, wide power range and heaps of torque. STD manifold will do the job, to keep costs down. Rb25 loom and any plug-in rb25 ecu. That should see you make over 250rwkw.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
