Yes, it's going to cost money and also be reliable and I am building the block to hold 1,000hp. Don't like the hydraulic lifters solid is the way to go for me the benefits I will receive more power, more torque and adjustable rev range so why not dump the hydraulics? I'm not sure why anyone would wanna replace dropped lifters all the time with a hydraulic setup I doesn't sound like a good time to me.

Run a compression test to see what all your cylinder pressures are that will show if the rings seated. I'd call your tuner up and ask him who built your engine to c if they reused valve stems or maybe didn't install one correctly or tell your tuner what's going on he should have the best insight on the topic.

Why not convert to solid? Hydraulic replacements cost about the same and I'll get better reliability and no worries about valve floating. I plan on ramping up the power more as I get comfortable with it so I will need the extra rev range when I upgrade turbos. also I won't have to replace parts and I'll know that a lifter isn't gonna drop. More power more torque if it starts ticking all I got to do is drop some shims in it's just a win win and I don't plan on revving it to 9k-10k probably won't need to 8.5k is what I'll probably have the cut set should be with in my power band my tuner says he can probably keep it under 8k. Spend money now save money and headaches later. I had some lifter tick before I pulled the motor my fuel cut was set to 7.8k. why is there so many haters on the forum?

Yes, it will cause smoke if one got damaged or wasn't fitted properly.

Thanks for the info! yah should of changed the wording. I just got a reply from raw brokerage they said the same thing solid lifters rarely need adjusted if set correctly. Just wanted to know before I build my head with solid lifter conversion but they also stated that supertech and tomei run different shim styles and there not compatible with each other. So I'll be looking into that more. I wouldn't of converted to solid lifter if I had to adjust them ever 4k miles that's doesn't sound very fun that's why I asked before I dropped a few thousand into the head. Thanks again if u have any other info on this conversation please give me some insight. ?

Yes, neo is solid lifter so you have first hand experience with solid lifters then correct? So you wouldn't have opinions only real facts.

Are any of you running solid lifters on any type of rb?

No you gotta buy the oil restrictor it doesn't come with the turbo I had one on my gtx3076r.

It's probably build up on your valves run some seafoam cleaner through it. It happened to my rb25det valves and cylinder were caked wouldn't let the valve seat properly.

Did you change your fuel filter? My fuel pump took and shit on me I replaced it and didn't think to replace filter and I had the same issue. It had metal pieces in it.

Did he forget to install valve stems or did you reuse the olds ones?

The laws is aus different? I ran 3inch blast pipes on my rb25det for 2 years never got pulled over it was insane loud also and open wastegate.

Sometimes they need cleaned also. Mine did the same thing just took it out and cleaned it and reinstalled for anyone else having issues.

Hello, everyone I'm looking to convert my rb25det s2 into solid lifter setup just wondering how miles I can go before they need adjustment. I plan on daily driving, street racing, and drag racing is there anyone on here with first hand experience with the rb25det solid lifter conversion not looking for opinions real experience only thanks.
