Needs more RB25DET NEO Head

Anyone have one?
Needs to be unraped, at a minimum it will need all its cam caps, buckets (cam followers). Of course, I'll take a complete head as that's probably better.

I have a raped one you can have. 2000 of your finest Covid dollars please.

 

Seriously though. Been looking for one for the last 6 months. Nobody is selling because they need their 8 spares. Have lost so much hope that a small part of me is whispering sweet nothings about selling the whole project. Shit times.

yeah that sucks. I was lucky when I had a cam break due to an oil problem, was the second last journal and no piston damage. Did need a new head though.

do you know the root cause of the failure yet?

RB = oil issues lol

From what Alex at Birrong has gathered the restrictors in the block were not small enough, too much crank case pressure from 2bar of boost and as the NEO doesn't run a front head drain/vent there's even more crank case pressure stopping the oil from flowing back down the sump.

From here we will be welding fittings in the sump (above the oil line) to vent the crank case pressure, fitting a catch to sump drain (and only using it on track days, block off for street duties), retaining that additional crank case vent to catch can then fitting 1.1mm restrictors in (and yeah, fitting a head drain too)

    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
    • I had double clamped all the pipes but I checked them over any way, everything tight and secure. feels and sounds like a electrical short/failure, as it is an abrupt and aggressive stumble, that instantly comes and goes right at 4k mark...like clock work fuel pump and filter are new new coils and plugs injectors where cleaned and tested 200 miles plus ago no black smoke cleaned MAF   same results, other ideas? some other sensor?  
    • Yes, just without the annoying use of the word hybrid. We stopped using that term 20 years ago when we realised it meant different things to different people. Even "highflow" can represent more than one way of achieving the goal of getting more flow out of a turbo. But at least it says what it does on the box.
    • OH, when they say "solid buckets", I always interpeted that as "shimless". (Which is not the same as the "shimness word I invented above to represent the same idea that the buckets act as shims also!!). Still the same problem though. So it appears that buying a "kit" from Tomei is a two step process. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense in the context of a "kit" though.
    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber
