I used loctite on mine, as I couldnt click it off at 330ft/lb. I sparingly used loctite supernut lock which is the lower grade blue type.

I'd advise against using stud lock (red) or the retaining compound (green). I've seen bolts permanently attached with these grades. Once I saw a coarse threaded bolt that wasn't that much larger than the balancer bolt which we couldnt undo. Not with a 3/4" rattle gun, not with an 1" rattle gun and not even with an 1" rattle gun that used an 1" air line!!!

Note to self: Only use BLUE loctite!!

I really dont see a point in replacing the crank seal as its not leaking and would be more trouble than its worth IMO.. I am however doing the camseals and half moons, replacing the tensioner and possibly the bolt for the tensioner and the stud for the idler. The idler itself feels very smooth so im thinking not to bother replacing it... Any input?

Cheers,

You're better off replacing the idler. You'll kick yourself if you have to pull the whole thing down again in 10000k's if the idler gets noisy. They're only about $70 - do it now or suffer the pain.

Just posting these details as the search on this forum just sux now. Can't go past a couple of months.

BSC Motion Technology

3/ 1968 Hume Hwy Campbellfield VIC 3061

ph: (03) 9357 7515

Idler: NSK 56TB 2801 B01

Tensioner: NSK 60TB 0683 EA7L 806

Now I spoke to Steve when I got mine there and they were only about $120 for the pair. They apparently had hundreds in the warehouse.

Is it really important to torque the crank pulley bolt to exactly 446-466Nm?? Thats a huge amount of torque and the wrench needed would be very expensive. Im planning to buy a smaller one for lighter jobs but i cant even find some where to higher one like that. Someone said they just did it up as tight as they could, and it was ok. I'd prefer to torque it to the right tension but sounds as though it will be difficult...

Yea you need a 3/4 drive torque wrench , i have one but i'm in Sydney otherwise i would lent it to you .

As long as you do it up very tight with a big bar it should be o.k. , i always do them up with a torque wrench though .

Recently put the crank pulley bolt back in and did it up real tight, now i cant undo it to make changes! I didnt think id need to undo it so i did it as tight as i could. I've already broken about 3-4 breaker bars!! Can anyone help me to get this bastard undone?? :(

Thanks guys,

Deren :(

Deren, maybe call lubemobile and tell them to bring a 3/4 rattlegun. Has to be worth paying for that. I have a heavy duty pulley pin spanner I made that should hold the load as well to make it easier and maybe you could buy a 3/4 breaker and socket.

I'd come and help but still recovering from back surgery.

Thanks again for the reply Geoff. Would a rattle gun fit in there with only the radiator removed?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
