I am running an R32 RB25DE head which has 256/8.5mm Poncams. When I bought the engine it had "upgraded Valves and springs" but was only making 350rwhp.

At the moment I have a strange problem that the car is making good power at 15psi but as soon as I wind 20psi it makes the same power. I run 25psi and it wll lose a smidge of power.

So what valvesprings do the folk that run these heads on RB30s run for proven 600rwhp results

Having trouble trying to find info on the rb25 de head out of r33 gts, if I was to use it in a rb25/30 conversion, what sort of boost could I run with stock valve springs ? 7 psi 10psi 14 psi ? How hard is it to change valve springs ?

I read that the rb25 de and det have the same cams duration and lift is this correct ?

Can I drop rb25 det injectors into rb25 de fuel rail?

OOps think you are right about the cams - just check the model here:

Changing springs is easy if the head is off, harder but possible with it on.

Any idea what sort of boost and power I could expect with stock springs ?

That's such an open ended question. Seriously depends on fuel and turbo to name a few.

Have you looked at the rb30 dyno results thread? It's all there. As are the cam specs on the net for you to find. Hint, Tomei have a chart of factory nissan cams available easily.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
