hi...

im in the middle of doing a r34 rb25det and come across bad news... i ran the motor up in the car for about twenty five minutes... after about 15 mins when it got nice and warm it started coughing out white smoke... i kept running the motor as i was told the turbo was "smokey" coz the car i got it out of had been rolled over...it kept up the coughing for another ten minutes then i turned it off... as soon as i turned it off i checked the motors vitals... the oil... no problem... but the water was oily, not emulsified but you could see little bubbles floating around and it felt oily between my fingers... anyone has this before... ive been told that they are known to crack blocks so thats my main concern... ive taken the oil cooler off and will send it away to get pressure tested in the new year... i will also run it with fresh water and the oil cooler bypassed... if not its off with the head after a pressure test... should the block be cracked in goes a rb30det neo... that sorta rolls off the tongue doesnt it :)

just wondering if anyone knew any other small things to check before i commit to pulling off the head

thanks in advance and ave a gud x mas :):O

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
