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 :)

oh cool, yah u don't wana make to much power with this NA build..

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.

I am a mechanic guys I have been involved with and have driven very fast cars I want a turbo yes but I don't froth over turbos like some.

PF = performance forums?

Pretty much yeah

Stopped getting attention over there, came here... Awesome...




Ah it's good to be back :action-smiley-069:

yeah the guy is full of shit, but kept PF entertained with his retarded antics for a while. Ash can you now move this to the Wasteland?

I am full of disappointment as to how this thread turned out... Wasteland

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
