Not a problem:P I actually want your car, but.. i'd have to sell mine first and its just a pain in the ass.

Loved the flutter on friday when you were reversing, mate was giving it to me saying that my car should do it, it will soon enough providing i can find an engine that isnt rediculously overpriced.

HMm, yeah but its so easy for the swap... bolt out, bolt in:)

nah mate the rb20's are still going in 33's, aint that bad, still beats a the average lancer n shit, good first car.

I want the rb20 because one, i can afford it, two, i dont want to much power, three, i dont need 2 upgrade brakes or engineneer it.

Where as alot of work is required for the 25. Being only 17 i dont wana kill myself either.

I've seen how hard the 25's can go, and its really just too much for what i can handle at this point. If you can kinda see where im coming from. It wont be that bad anyway.

The RB20DET with its cheap bits is a top idea.

The RB25DET is overrated anyhow, the torque difference isn't THAT huge. I borrowed Adams 33 last night, and while it was sweet and you could pick the torque- its wasn't the gap I expected (given how hard people cane RB20's on here.)

OR, build an RB30DET... mmmmmm Rb30.

The 150 odd kgs are nothing really - just up your boost a bit to compensate!!

More like 5.0 V8 beware, not lancers :P

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
