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.

    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
