thanks very very much cube's.

i bought the pump as it was advertised as a brand new vl turbo pump.

but when i got my old vlt one to compare,i found they are completely different internals.

wasnt happy.

but looks like the pump i got is an rb25det one.

anyone want to buy it?

hehe

Just trying to finalise a few parts for my conversion - sorry if these have been answered somewhere else, I did search!

- What is the difference between series 1 and series 2 rb25DET's ? I'm looking at buying a splitfire ignition system instead of coilpacks and they have a model for each - this is going in a VL with an aftermarket ECU, so is it even applicable? On a similar note, is the wiring loom the same for these series 1 and 2 engines?

- I'm going to be running a powerFC, are they able to be tuned without an AFM? Or does it still rely on that (as far as I can tell it does). If that's the case - what AFM will have enough scope to cover things (engine builder was suggesting a twin AFM arrangement, but that sounds more complicated than it needs to be IMO).

- Can someone explain exactly what has to happen to the block and/or head when fitting an RB25DET head onto the rb30 block, a detailed explaination would be great.

So far I'll be using the stock head, turbo/manifolds (will have the loom + coilpacks), a computer and obviously upgrading any old parts where needed. Is there any hidden items I've missed that I should be budgeting for (not accounting for things like piping, etc)?

Cheers guys - this thread is a life saver :P

Much easier if you number you questions;

1. As Ben said S1 has a separate ignitor module, S2 has ignitors built int oeach coil.

2. Chassis is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is the wiring harness, use the coils that go with the wiring harness and the ECU.

3. No

4. No

5. You can use a single Q45 AFM (90 mm), so far good for 420+ rwkw

6. No way, read the thread there are so many choices, pick the one that you like. Read the How to Guide it's simpler/shorter.

7. The list (tick off what you already have). Intercooler, radiator, exhaust, intercooler pipework, power steering, air con, engine mounts, oil cooler, turbo/turbos, turbo water and oil fittings, air filter, AFM to turbo pipework, gaskets, decent sump (wings, one way doors and baffles are best), boost controller, Power FC, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, radiator hoses, belts, water pump, oil pump, clutch, gearbox, tailshaft, diff, brakes, suspension, wheels, tyres, gauges etc etc

Good luck:cheers:

Cheers :D

I thought the series1/2 differences may not have been related to the actual head itself. My point being, if I used a series 1 loom on a series two engine or vice versa would it work? :)

Ah great - I'll keep an eye out for one

6. No way, read the thread there are so many choices, pick the one that you like.  Read the How to Guide it's simpler/shorter.

hehe, I've got the how-to guide and it doesn't cover the actual nitty-gritty, just mentioned it has to be 'modified' and has a picture comparing the two blocks. I guess I'll leave that up to the engine builder.

lol cheers mate (definatly has wheels and suspension last I checked :P) ;) I think I can check off almost everything there, although I do need to replace the oil/water pumps :)

you sure? the coilpacks on a S1 have an external ignitor so the loom must be different......

sorry yes the externals are different like coil pack....I mean the actual heads themselves are interchangable. I put a S1 motor into an S2 car using the S2 ignition with no problems

yeah i was maybe hoping to get closer to 350 but ohwel. with ebc said should be around 315kw.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
