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.

    • Never an issue with boost control. No weird boost issues pre throttle at partial throttle like you're suggesting. It worked.   As for all the turbo damage claims, they all were started by aftermarket BOV companies. At least turbo timer companies had SOME truth about them, except people failed to realise that except for in extreme circumstances, that small amount of driving you do to park/ through pit lane etc, is enough to not have a need for a turbo timer.
    • I tell people all the time this stuff runs on a 2 MHz 8-bit MCU. The math is a bit arcane, they do a lot to get around their limited resolution and so on but it works great as-shipped. So if an 80 to 160 MHz modern 32-bit MCU can't make it work you've really screwed something up badly. Your average graphing calculator is faster these days, god forbid we start talking about what's hiding in vapes or some stupid internet-connected "smart appliance".  I suspect the lore about off-throttle surge damaging turbos must be very, very old if it was ever true. I still don't think off throttle surge is good for turbos because you're rapidly having air going in and out of the turbo on top of rapid loss in shaft speed which presumably does impart some kind of unusual load on the rotating assembly. As for the recirculating valve, I believe Nissan actually in a press slide deck of some kind explained for the RZ34 they found it improved response. Prior to that they kept the throttle cracked open instead which causes rev hang and because the throttle/engine is a substantial restriction a ton of the energy in the air stream is lost just to pumping past it. Recirculating helps reduce energy loss by bringing the intake side of the compressor up in pressure so it's not working as hard to pull air in. In DCT cars where they can slam gears I believe Porsche hangs the throttle wide open with no fuel injection to keep turbo RPMs as high as possible during the shift. As for running post-throttle boost source, I would be concerned that at partial throttle on boost you would have driveability issues. It would be constantly trying to run crazy amounts of boost before the throttle to compensate for the throttling effect. Maybe with a much more sophisticated boost control setup you could activate a solenoid that goes from a conventional 3-port setup to something that allows the wastegates to see full vacuum in that specific case? 
    • Did you clean everything out? Take all intercooler piping off, empty the intercooler of oil, clean the exhaust out, etc? Intercoolers make great catch cans... Which makes them less useful for intercooling... But very worth cleaning out, along with all adjoining piping.
    • Update Got turbo back from hypergear, installed everything etc. Bled coolant, wasn't smoking so I thought beauty she's sorted now. Went on a drive, car up to temp, let it idle for about 15 seconds, gave it some gas...nice puff of smoke again. Fml No doubt my turbo was pretty worn anyway but nonetheless frustrating that the problem persists.
