if anyone knows in Australia whether we can mate an N1 rb26 block with an rb25det head because i just spent loadsa money on the head by now already.

if you know what i mean. and since a new block is like a new supercar engine and when its from nismo its serious issue! not wanting rb30 not 2.8 just this because its new...

I know the headbolts/studs are bigger on the 26 (edited typo, thanks elite) so u would need to enlarge the holes in the head. And the vtc hole would need to be welded up in the head too. should be similar to building a 30/25 from what i can tell.

I think you meant to say the 26 head bolts/studs?

But yes, direct bolt up using an RB26 head gasket as long as you knock a 6mm blocker into the VCT oil gallery at the front of the head or weld it up and have the head refaced

Not really needing an unprofessional reply mates hand me over some proffesional advice like this weld you are talking abouti the vtc hole. Ya know the engine is gonna have to deal with serious heat in the summer especially because i am located in saudi arabia hot weather 50 degrees celcius in day time! Dont wanna destroy the engine or open it up every month like a cpu

Older block is not what i deserve...too old rusty block even if i give it toturnery and gonfor shot peening or sand blasting i dont think it will be superb...howabout dropping a supercar engine down there?

what have you done to this head exactly? are you sure its better then a 26 head? might be worth your while selling it and starting it again.

if you plan on sitting on the rev limiter and getting your "nagga" out for 1 minute at a time in 50deg heat you will need to open the engine after doing it the first time. You just cannot treat a RB engine like a 2j. they were built for performance not abuse.

if not send the engine to Abu Dhabi, I can put the 25 head on the 26 block for you.

Totally willing to do that mate. But i am buying an n1 block...i want you to mix it it my head ya akhi....so n1 block rb26 with my rb25 head...i know it happens only in abu dhabi...as long as i become a certified engine expert after i finish my mba..

call me if you want to send the engine to Abu Dhabi, i can mod the head for you and get it ready if you like. It is totally possible to put the 25 head on the N1 block its just no one really ever does it because the 26 head is a better base to start from.

:ermm: what?

First of all, the n1 block is in the inventory from nismo japan. But it is for an rb26. Second it is a new block, ever even sat in a brand new sports car you? Ever seen how a new soprtscar can rev smoothly at stock horsepower? Is available in bulk but i dont wanna give it away so the inventory may last till i finally have collected the funds..you can find it yourself but dont say it here..and what the hell you two on about rusty tongue this and rusty tongue that...shit ! Get a life, man i aint no arab. Freakshows! I am an expat like that aussie in abu dhabi up there....oops about spelling mistakes, i type real crappy coz i just bought this ipad and never used touch screen keyboard in my life ever before..

If you get a block honed to a fresh surface wouldn't that be like a new block? Why also would a new motor have 0 km cos it's a brand new engine that's why. The 30 block with a 25 head will smash the 26 block with tourqe and power

BMW used to leave their 1500hp 1.5L F1 blocks out the back of the factory to rust away for a while before they machined them, apparently it helps take the stresses out from the casting process. I also heard they would take a piss on them any chance they got. :whistling:

I agree, 3L block is the go, rusty or not. Find an old Patrol engine in the desert somewhere and send it to Guilt-Toy. :thumbsup:

the BMW blocks were production blocks that had a minimum 100000 miles on them, would find them in wrecking yards throw the standard head in the bin and fit the F1 head/crank/rods/pistons etc

it may be that you 'Aint no arab' but you do sound like a complete twat whoever you are. 'even sat in a brand new sports car' don't even know what to say to this except that it is the most moronic question I have ever been asked on SAU. Good luck with your n1 block which will magically turn your car into a brand new sports car.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
