Hi Ni, Before you go and purchase your XT, make sure you ring your fellow SUA member down at Subaru Docklands and let me do you a great deal. Cheers Steve STi Docklands 86983589

Well guys, in the end I went down the route of reco S5 RX7 injectors (high impedence 550cc top feed) for $300 and had a mate from Mullins Engineering in Bayswater make me up a new fuel rail. Looks great and from the research completed, should work great. Next issue is trying to make the rb25det plenum fit under the bonnet (r33 S1 gtst) after the rb30det went in! wish me luck lads! cheers stevo

Twin Plate Clutch(r33 gtst) and Big Injectors wanted!
the_tonkau replied to the_tonkau's topic in Wanted to Buy
Sorted, thanks for the reply. Steve -
Thanks for the imput guys! Spending big bucks doesn't always mean the best solution as many tuners of modded cars know all to well. Lets say I find a cheaper way around the touch your toes/bend over cost of expensive side feed injectors, I'm sure alot of the people on this forum would be able take advantage of this cheap solution. Isn't that the idea of this forum? to share idea's and solve problems economically? Keep the idea's coming team! Cheers

Aha , the Kid is in the house. As always, cheers for the input. My Tuner (ex apexi japan trained) tells me that he has had probs making low imp units work nicely with the PFC (specifically Bosch 363's which can be bought cheap/flow around 550cc and are a common performance upgrade). Within the PFC you can tell it what injector setup you have, what have you told it when you use those s5 rx7 units? are they primary or secondary units? shit it's frustrating not knowing.... ta

The rail is costing me nothing and sard product is very expensive. My intake manifold doesn't know if the fuel is coming from a $50 injector or a $200 injector and I would rather spend my budget on upgrading my rods to race items and ceramic coating my forgies......but...... sards would be nice and easy if I had the bucks... Anyone else have a proven solution?

Opinions on injector upgrades needed! -Engine rb30det VCT HEAD around 300-350rwkw Just picked up the long motor from the engine builders and before slinging it back in I need to sort out my fuel delivery issues. To get around the expensive side feed problem I have had a fuel rail built to suit the more popular top feed injectors but am struggling to find out what injectors will do the job cheaply. I have worked out that they will need to be around 550cc to flow enough for the power output but I'm having issues with compatabilty with the Apexi PFC. It likes high impedence Jap brands and the common Bosch 363(low impedence) apparently don't work to well with the PFC. I have heard RX7 S6 secondary injectors work OK but they are proving expensive and hard to get secondhand. Anyone have a proven setup that will suit this setup?

Not interested in shagged out twin plates that need rebuilding and injectors must be around 440-600cc top feed high impedence. Cheers Steve [email protected]

RB25DET - 3 Litre Conversion Completed?
the_tonkau replied to the_tonkau's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Thanks for the support lads. Not trying to make it harder than it is, its my daily driver and time is of the essence, the less delays while assembling the better. *......the list goes on.... Ask away. ..OK More q's SK if you dont mind mate. # my current tune includes power fc/upgraded fuel pump/adj fuel reg/to4e/std injectors/4" exhaust/Large FMIC, 45mm pro gate. -ac/ps/alt brackets all bolt up? -water points on the block the same? -If I use a vl na short motor with std pistons, at what rwkw do they start breaking? -if putting in forgies, any machining needed to pistons due to 4 valve head? -Advanatges keeping vct -at what kw do the std injectors run out on the 3L(was running @high 80's @ 245rwkw with the 2.5L) I know that some of the above q's are in the forum, but as you have actually built these things i would appreciate your ideas. Thats it. What do you drink mate? Steve ANYONE IN MELBOURNE FINISHED ONE YET? -
RB25DET - 3 Litre Conversion Completed?
the_tonkau replied to the_tonkau's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
One sunny day at the springnats.... I have a S1 R33 rb25det and it’s spun a bearing on No5. (looks like oil surge/starvation caused by motorkhana action at the springnats) Have you seen this happen on the rb's ? Anyway... in a nutshell, I need to know EXACTLY what needs to be done to use a 3L block with my head. What vl block to use, na or turbo? What forged pistons to use to keep compression close to the standard 9:1 ish Does the rb25 oil pump/water pump swap across? Manifolds swap across ok Exact measurements of new holes for timing belt tensioner etc vct issues loom requirements/changes exhaust mods needed Water/oil gallery issues.......the list goes on.... Ideally I am after someone local I can sit down with and over a beer etc, have a look, discuss all the trials and tribulations they went through and the solutions they found. A checklist of what's needed would be great, I'm sure it would be worth a few dollars as well but as there is so many variables and differences between models it would be impossible to get right for every solution. Now, after saying all that, I am still after as much info as i can and if you have experience in building these conversions I will very gladly accept any help you can give me. The team consists of my engine builder brother who usually works on V8's and our good mate the chassis builder, who is normally building drag cars so my rb25 stripped to bits on their engine stand is a new toy for them to work out. The more accurate the info I can give the boys, the easier and cheaper it will be. Thanks Sydneykid, appreciate the help. Steve -
The restrictor is normal in a standard setup! The ceramic BB turbo's on the r33 rb25det should have this. I damaged an older style to4e bush bearing type turbo as I left the standard oil line on it after the turbo swap and it starved itself of oil and shagged itself. BB type turbo's need less oil than a bush bearing type. Apparently bush type turbo's need ALOT more oil flow. I got this info from Kyp at ATS in Melbourne, he is a guru and a nice bloke to boot!

There is lots of interesting information flying about on the net on how to do this attractive conversion. Although appreciated as fascinating reading for some Skyline/RB enthusiasts that rebuild their engines in the "cyber space garage", for those of us that are trying to build an engine for the real world, opinions are just not accurate enough. I am looking for someone in Melbourne (preferably) who has actually completed a running conversion that would be willing to share information on the build. Like anything that has taken time and effort, any help will be renumerated in the appropriate currency of choice. Cheers Steve [email protected]

Cheers mate, just got the message today for some reason?. I am in the process of deciding weather or not to build a rb30det or just fit another rb25. I will drop you a line if I a decide to go rb25. Thanks Steve

Where you there Kid? I have some invovlement in the running of the event and after all the help you give the forum, I would have been more than willing to give you the royal treatment had I known you where there.

Apart from the police issues, did you think the show was any good? I saw a few Skylines there do really well in the driving events. Seems we know how to steer pretty good!
