No, you can ignore what StevenCJR31 said, because it's not true.

bullshit. . ive got both motors side by side here and the intakes from the r32 rb25de and r32 rb20det DO NOT swap over they ARE different, dont go quoting shit

That's not what we're talking about. He is talking about putting an RB25DET head and inlet manifold onto an RB24S block. The block of the RB24S is the same as the RB25 block (except perhaps it has no oil squirters and possibly no hole for the knock sensor(s) ).

So your post was completely irrelevant, and it sounded like you were talking about RB24 that was based on stroked and bored RB20 stuff - which was NOT the topic of discussion. So I kindly invite you to back off.

absolutely nothing . . it was in answer to what roy said on this thread on 01/03 at 14:23 about the intake manifolds being VISUALLY the same on the na 25 and 20dets, i was mearly pointing out that whilst visually the same they are in fact different port size and stud pattern and therefore not interchangable, same top feed fuel injectors and fuel rail tho

I tell you what, we really need to fix the new forum software so quoting works properly again. I had to go over those posts 4 times to follow exactly who was saying what again.

I apologise for coming over like a dick. I should have said "not relevant" instead of "not true".

NA RB25 has no oil squirters either iirc, just the provisions for it. But having no hole for the knock sensor, would that be a problem?

I'll be getting the engine this week, thanks for the help guys.

Hole for the knock sensor could be gently drilled and tapped (give the example to follow on the other block). Worst case you do not install the knock sensor to the block. You just connect it to the wiring loom, wrap it in foam.bubble wrap and gaffer tape it to something solid. Or an even worse case, you don't connect it to the loom and you just put a resistor (there's a certain value you'd need, search it up) across the loom plug and the ECU won't know any different. Either of these leave you exposed to a little knock damage if your tune is a bit ragged or you get a gut full of bad fuel.....but that's no different to most people who are using aftermarket ECUs anyway, seeing as they don't usually use the knock sensor either.

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
