I don't have the Spool built short motor but I purchased the 3.4 rotating assembly and had my engine builder do the work.

Airflow through the head is hugely important, don't skimp on this. I personally wouldnt put cams bigger than 270 as you don't need the revs especially for street use, make sure you degree them with a dial indicator. With my 26 head and 1mm OS valves, 10.8mm lift and 260 degree procams, mine makes peak power just before 8000rpm with a broad torque curve from 3000rpm. Turbo is a 6466 with twin-scroll 1.0AR hot side. Has made over 800rwhp on 28psi but its useless at this power, I actually prefer gate pressure which is 14psi creeping to 19psi and about ~550rwhp

Cootamundra??? Do you mean Temora???

and your talking hp in the thread but quoting kw in your sig, just wondering is all. 550 rwhp isn't anything too unusual - would have thought that you would get more with no real effort, thus my question re kw vs hp - but the torque would be phenonemal.

No I mean Cootamundra. Motive DVD Drag Battle.

KW/HP.. They're one and the same, sometimes ill quote one or the other haha. Ive made the peak power number that im comfortable running, and the car is useless like this. I prefer the car with around 400-420rwkw (540-560rwhp) as its the least 'scary' to drive and is still plenty enough to bake 3rd gear at 100kmh. Remember we're talking peak numbers here. The car still has 300rwkw at 4000rpm regardless of my peak power so yea its 'torquey'

Have now found a Neo head locally so have put an order in for a pair of Tomei 143023 B cams

Strangely finding a matching RB25 Neo or later R34 cas unit seems harder to find then the head was ?

Still need to find one or start looking at other ways of timing ?

Haven't looked into much else yet and tbh I didn't think about getting the head ported but its not to say I won't

What power will a std Neo head run to anyway?

760 at the wheels? So over 800 at the crank as a standard head/ports and valve sizes?

Yep I would personally be going to a crank trigger setup. There is a group buy on here at the moment for only $350 or so + machining of the harmonic balancer.

Cheers I will have a look for the thread. Am using a link g4 and have a aftermarket crank damper so I assume it will be compatible ?

Cheers, what are you guys using coil wise with the Neo head ? Matching Neo coils or adapted Gtst coils?

Car is using S1 Gtst electrics so still runs a separate amp

Only I've have a set of as new Nissan OE Gtst coils and although haven't tried it looks like their mounts are all out ?

You can adapt and make any coil work, with or without separate ignitors

Sounds good

You got a dyno graph to look at?

wow, I think that mota & car build might be a bit more involved than mine lol

Have gone for the motor only on mine as tbh once this is built I plan to leave it be

Famous last words ...

As it is I've got my mota built up and in the car, but am now waiting on getting the exhaust manifold modded

Hopefully I will get sorted soon

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
