Hey guys,
Spent the last 3 months doing a few things to my rb25det and it just died in the ass today. 6th cylinder is letting oil by the piston rings and i think it sounds like it is developing some nasty piston slap!
My list of works completed:
- Reconditioned head, replaced valve seals and replaced valve springs with Supatech valve springs.
- Installed Cometic MLS Headgasket and ARP head studs.
- Installed 256 Camtech cam shafts and 2 adjustable tomei cam gears.
- Rebuilt my turbo at GCG and got it high flowed (stage 2 - with ball bearings, rated @500hp).
- Installed Five-O 660cc injectors (red plug).
- Replaced all gaskets for the top end of the motor.
- Installed JJR Bellmouth dump pipe.
I put it all back together and was able to tune the car upto 8.2 psi and got a nice 184rwkw before all the fun was over.
Even though it didn't work out the best I still had a lot of fun putting it all together and going through the whole project.
What you guys think I should do? Give in and sell it? Rebuild the bottom end? Or just buy a replacement bottom end of a second hand motor?
Ps: thanks to anybody who helped me and answered my questions on this forum - have to admit I did a lot of reading here and learnt a lot about my car!
