Yeh I got that.

But - to use the line of the peoples moderators - do you really think that this hasn't been asked before in the 7 years this site has been operating? There is LOADS of information on here, I could read for DAYS about ECU's and their pro's/con's/peoples opinions.

Just search! I mean, you've waited what, 22 minutes to get these replies from myself or others? That's 22 minutes of your life that you will never get back, my good sir. 22 minutes that could have been spent educating yourself on your choices of ECU with the vast pool of information on here.

I looked for about 2 years for one - Even went down the path of making the RB26 ECU run the RB25DET and RB20DET, so I could get a powerfc PRO for a GTR into my car. Turned out that I was scammed, and it was a standard GTR Powerfc inside a case with powerfc pro markings.

haha here is the old thread where I rewired a small harness to make the RB26 ECU work on the RB25, and RB20. Did it for a couple of mates that had RB20s.

Even hard modded a RB26 D-Jetro ECU to run my mates RB20.

Fark... those were the good old days.

I was looking at those threads only yesterday

I swapped the pfc for the pro with a bloke in Perth who had it in a Nissan patrol of all things

Then sold it too a bloke in Sydney.

We had dramas with it talking to FC edit due to the old firmware in the pro

But it served me well

Yeah nothing but a 2-step and hard cut. Not worth specifically going out to find one when a simple gizmo 2 step or bee-r work just as well

Have you seen many jza70 pfc's in your travels? Sucks that each different 1jz car had different ecu plugs except for some jzx90s had the same as the a70 supra

I tried the Gizzmo one, and it was pretty shit.... Was too hard to hook up switches etc and was a bitch to wire up.

Haven't seen any Toyota PowerFCs at all actually. I can have a look next time I am in Japan if you like? might be a few months though.

Keep an eye on ebay - Interesting place to find weird stuff, lol.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
