OK so as most builds go I brought a rolling shell just for the Teins in it (to go in my coupe). Few days later Ive worked out its preety streight/rust free for a 93 and a spec M JDM. by now I couldnt part it ouT and scrap the bare shell so I looked for a cheap motor/box to slap it together, sell her and hopefull not loose to many $$..Found a bent shell with a built auto and stock rb25det (no hot or cold side) for a good price.
Went to check out the condition and inds 260 cams, miles of head work etc... so this build just got a little out of control.

Being a manual shell getting an auto Ive put the auto wireing harness in, from the 2dr donor, and modified it to suit the 4dr.
Most of the body is now sorted, Got S2 front and dash, Coupe Backseat (cleaner look then the 4dr) and the box and short motors in.
Still to fit the Prescission 5858, FFP & Front mount. Sort out a Fuel system and ECU.
Oh and all this is going on in the driveway (got another 10Yr project in the garage lol)

So got the turbo in the other day. Manifold was a major pain in the ass but. Still need to get a banjo bolt to hook the oil lines up and blockof or bypass the water feed (precision is oil only) though. Exhaust is in and hooked up

PSteer resivour had to be relocated a bit to clear turbo piping

    • 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.
    • 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? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason 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).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
