Was speaking with a bloke the other day and he said that the top deck of the block needs a different finish for the cometic head gasket. Never used them before so don't know if this bloke was telling the truth or Tring to blow smoke up my arse.

Realistically any MLS gasket needs a nice smooth surface to seal properly.

But if the block is already built, I would just spray some Hylomar on the gasket. Might work fine Dave.

Ok. Im just looking at changing the plugs to run flex fuel and 26psi max boost. I know everyone has different ideas and needs. Was thinking about sticking with the factory iridium plugs gapped at .6 but instead of the 6heat range going to a 7 or maybe an 8

Any tuners want to give me a heads up or point me in a direction. 

I was thinking about those as well.  

I was going off the NGK id sheet for part numbers and did some net surfing to see what had the best bang for buck. Thats how i came up with the  BCPR7EVX.

The evx plug is fine wire and for boosted applications.  The fine wire alows the ignition system to create a better spark with less power. 

See attached pic for part number info. Please note that the ix plug is not listed.

For my own car which had a slight miss at high revs at about 320 AWKW or 425hp on the dyno with new OEM coils and   BCPR7ES my (Japanese ex Nissan) tuner suggested PFR7G which fixed the miss.

What water pump did you use. I've read around that the RB25 has an extra bolt which you may have to tap the block for. If it's not done right it could leak from the top of your water pump.

 

Have you thought about how you will run Internal/external feed for the VCT and front cam journal? I'm pretty sure it's a little different on the Neo Head.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
