Yeah but emissions laws are constantly changing these days, so it's hard to directly compare things. Not to mention what an engine it's designed for. An engine designed for a suv will have different outputs to something designed for a sports car. But I do get what you are saying.

Ok I have been going slow with the build I got the head back before machining to bolt it up the block is in my backyard atm I just setup my engine stand at work so I will be taking photos soon.

I will make a new thread soon and leave this one here for tech discussion.

I will say a engine needs air fuel and spark it gives no farks for how many valves are delivering the air/fuel to it. My head can be flowed for 350hp with 1mm oversized valves so I roughly know that it will need to spin at 8k maybe a little more to make that. My cam choice will be made for about 8k with a 2.6l (due to bore size) engine at 8k I think I will need to limit power to about 320 330 to stay just under 8k rpm.

There is also the points that I made earlier in the thread about the 2v head being vastly cheaper and easier for me to work with. If you have not make sure you read the quotes on the first two pages as these points made by a pro engine builder are quite true.

The build thread will start when I get time to move my engine the head is bare so ill just be mocking up for a while. I also don't have much cash so progress will not be overnight :)

If I was aiming at say 10k I would be better off using the 25 or 26 head as the air speed of the ports would favour dual valve intakes. This would also increase costs immensely as I would not only need to spend more on the head but also more on the rotating assembly as I would *want* a fully counterweighted crank. Revving the engine into 10k and past territory would also mean I would need to spend alot more on the gearbox for a small percentage gain over a much cheaper 8k rpm build.

Dude come on Leave the guy alone. He is willing to try something different and put it up here for us to see. Im keeping my opinions on this to myself and im actually keen to see what this does as its different to the usual rb25 with a gt3076 etc we get on here.

and i rest my case... Hes a nice guy and hes motivated i'll give him that but hes spending alot of cash for im afraid almost no gains in power, what 155rwkw? holly bannanas thats nothing, but will wait and c the outcome incase he proves us wrong with 160rwkw, until then i'll sit in silence and admiration

My car made 109rwkW (@ like 4,500rpm lol), standard RB30E with a GTS1 cam and GTS2 extractors.

Don't underestimate the power of the RB30E!

except hes going down to a RB25E, so it should fry the tyres even more so then the rest yolo

without me sifting through the pages of opinion,

I'd like to say if you go the easy route and use a RB30 ECU I will set a tune up for you to get it running well.

If you want to go Nistune, I can do that also.

need a shorter timing belt no doubt.

What wiring loom were you planning to use, as the RB25 one is substantially different to the RB30 one which you will need unless aftermarket ECU?

btw, the RB30 is a good head and capable of as much horsepower as anything else. cam and a stally or 25-manual box will make for a nice combo.

Hi all what would be the go with this what would I need to mod the head or the block? Also how and what would I do to do this.

Also I do not need anyone telling me to use a 25 head there is reasons why I am doing this I could work it out myself but want to fast track the process.

Thx for helpful responses in advanced.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
