Hello I had pulled the head off the rb25de from an r32 to check if oil was getting to the head and my buddy told me that these heads tend to float valves around 400whp so I decided that since the head was off again to get upgraded valve springs.  I've read on another post that it would take rb20 valve springs but can anyone confirm?  I'm going to be going with the super tech valve spring kit with retainers.  They have a kit for rb20 and 25.

On the Kelford and other spring website it says rb25(with NVCS)  and they specifically have springs for rb20/rb25de(nonVCT) I went with the super tech valve spring kit for rb20.  I believe the ones on supertech are for rb25de are for r33 rb25s with vct

Ahh I was under the impression you went with the R32 RB25DE head. :D

Yes the R33's run 2 different length springs; they are a tad more than the r32 springs from Performance springs in QLD.

The factory springs may very well do the job with the r33's. The problem witht he R32's is that the springs they use in the R32 Rb25DE head are the same as they are in the RB20DET head. While they are fine controlling a smaller valve with the rb20; once you shove more weight behind from the rb25's head them they struggle. :S

Let us know the seat pressure just for my own curiosity. If need be shim them up a touch to get around 50-55 pounds.

this is what I also found earlier in the day

Hmm. I guess this makes the thread good reference material for the possibly two or three people in the future who will try something similar with an R32 25 head.

yea I know most people don't really build these so.

There never was that many of them in the first place, and it was all such a long time ago. Like hen's teeth. Most people, including myself, apparently, barely even remember that the R32 RB25 was closer to the RB20 than the R33 engines.

This was my first skyline I used to have a e36 m3 and getting this engine I did have to do some research about a couple things but not too much.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      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...

      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.
