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

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.

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.

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.

    • I do not think that the return pipe could be the cause of your particular troubles, unless perchance it is leaking in a lot of unfiltered and unmetered air (assuming your ECU is still using AFMs). And then it could be very bad, but it shouldn't prevent you making boost. Blow then engine up from running lean? Sure. But it would make boost. You really needed to disconnect this thing from the turbo inlets and close those inlet ports off a year ago, and you should do it now.
    • Pressure Ratio = 2. ie, 1 bar of boost (assuming 1 bat absolute pressure at the compressor inlet). This is relevant because compressor maps do not have "boost" up the y-axis. They have pressure ratio.
    • Revisiting this thread again x2... 1 year later. This car has been an ongoing project between life. But, I never removed the re-circ pipe. I know, shame on me. But since then, i took it to get tuned and only making about 280hp (lame) and i'm chasing a boost issue where the car wont boost past 7-8psi. Mac valve installed. Haltech Platinum pro with the map sensor.  This is the first time i've tackled the turbo side of things, but i have that side somewhat taken apart to chase the waste gate vacuum lines. And noticed this stupid pipe again. I'm peicing together the puzzle and @GTSBoy mentioned that it was a big vaccuum chamber and said a bunch of car math stuff that I couldn't quite follow the car math (im trying). You guys think this would be the culprit? between rotting vacuum hoses?  i'm making a DIY boost leak tester this weekend. 
    • I just spent a silly amount of time reading other forums' posts and watching "whats this noise" videos on Youtube. It *appears* to be the front diff having killed a pinion bearing or similar. Its almost definitely driveline, I haven't tested to see if the car makes the noise in N though but either way I think it's gonna be pricey. This is outside my area of comfort and expertise so I'll get my BMW guys on it. The bearings are attached to the hubs so are super easy to replace (at least in comparison to press in bearings) so I'll do them also.
