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.

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.

      how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather.

      Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.

      Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
