Lol yeah 2 weeks after getting it tuned got a f**ked piston. Motor had only 90xxxkms on it with 180 compression across all cylinders before i took it to him. Took the car to another tuner to sus it out and he told me the car was pinging off its ass.

Yeap, heard good things about his tuning aswell but the car was idling really rough the day it got tuned so took it back to him to fix the idling issues, he played with the power fc abit and got it idling good then one week later started idling rough again but had misfire this time. Got another tuner to look at it and he told me one pistons gone from the stupid amount of timing that was set. fuel pump was in good working order.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
