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

Chris

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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
