Hey guys,

I have done a conversion on my r32 gtst due to the rb20 having issues and having my brothers 25 sitting in the shed... foolishly instead of just fixing the rb20 i put in the 25 and had countless issues and no solid facts to follow online (Some people would state complex amounts of changes and others very minimal).

I have finally got the engine in completely and running however idles really rough initially until warm and then has some sputtering and problems up high. This is an issue as the purpose of this is a drifter.

I have contacted autoelectricians etc to come and look and obviously they arent interested.

I also put it down to needing a tune?

Wondering if anyone knowledgeable on a conversion if theyd be interested in coming n taking a look? Im in Glenmore Park (Western Sydney)..

how long was the motor sitting b4 it was put in? Could be gunked up injectors, stale fuel. Maybe try a compression test on the motor just to make sure no blown headgasket. Clean throttle body and check for any air leaks. Was the motor from a series 1 or 2 R33.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
