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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
