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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
