hi mates. just wondering if my idea will work.

have a rb20det in r32. thinkn if i get a rb25 head and weld the front hole so it joins up properly to the block and put the rb20 cams and sensors and cam gears and everything like powersteering alt etc on to make a 25-30. so i can use the rb20 ecu and not have to do any wiring changes and not worry bout vct etc.

will that work?

thinkn just a safc to fix it up abit using the vg30 turbo and everything currently on the 20. maybe bigger injectors

thats an option but they not too common to buy.

what im thinking is that i will need to get the rb25 head resurfaced so gotta pull it apart anyway so was thinkin il put the rb20 stuff in when that gets done so no extra expense there. the hole will cost little to no money to get welded at that time also so its not any stuffing around.

some bigger injectors and probably will go nistune after all for that side of things. just wanna know if my head combo will work etc. coz ive been reading people put rb20 cam on the vct cam to remove it. if i rb25de r32 head was to pop up id go it for sure but they have problems with valve float or something apparently so gotta spend a few hundred for springs if i go that route also.

so wanna know if itl work? maybe im silly but

if you use the R32 RB25DE head then you will need to use the matching intake manifold

1000cc bigger capacity. Head is way bigger. By time you stuffed around you could of done it properly.

Just get a R32 RB25DE head

what about the 26 head? do all the water and oil holes line up with the 30 bottom end?

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
