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.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
