Rb25 Neo Quench Pad Removal

Hi All,

In July 2010 i built an RB30/26 with the quench pads removed from the head mated to Endyn softhead pistons (for a friend) It seems to have ran well so far and the folks mapping it say she's strong etc. As it turns out i have done the head gasket on my 25 neo I’m going to pull the engine and do a rebuild on the bench while it's out. I think i have managed to find a 26 crank, rods and 87mm wiseco pistons for a good price which I’ll throw in for good measure.

By banging a neo head on top of that little lot, the CR backs out at about just under 10.3:1. I was planning on pulling the quench pads out of the head which should let me drop about 9cc's from the combustion chamber and with a 1.2mm gasket leave me with 9.2:1 compression ratio.

I think most are pretty argued out on the whole "remove/don't remove" the quench pads debate. But does anybody have any experience with removing the quench pads on a neo head? If so, how many cc's are gained in the combustion chamber by doing it?

Cheers

Chris

Just been through this exact saga myself.

26 Crank, rods and pistons. CP pistons at 86.5 bore have 15.5~cc dome. My NEO head was 54cc, And I had originally bought a 1.2mm gasket. (nearly 11:1CR from memory)

Long story short I had the head taken out to 57cc and added a 1.8mm gasket which landed me at 9.3:1CR.

Ahh!

You know what, skyline Australia forum is genuinely the best skyline form in the world. The UK forums are okay, but for technical knowledge this place is the poodles privates.

What did you take out of the head to get your 57cc?

Thanks Again

You could look at just deshrouding the valves by scalloping into the quench pads each side rather then removing them completely. Then see what that gets you in chamber volume and use headgasket thickness to achieve the rest.

WIth fuels and tuning as good as they are these days, you can run in the mid to high 9's without any worry. It's only going to help off-boost drivability and reduce lag.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
