Hey everyone, am nearing completion of my RB25/30 build, but I seem to be stuck on setting up the timing.

 

I have drilled and tapped the block above the water pump for the timing belt tensioner, am using a RB25 idler below the water pump, crank is at TDC, but am unsure on where my cams are supposed to be at. I also have adjustable cam gears to go onto the cams, once the motor in full is set to TDC correctly. To make it easier, the block is a standard A6 VL N/A block, and the head is standard aswell, valves, cams, with the exception of the VVL being blocked off in the head.

 

If someone could help me out with this it'd be muchly appreciated. Have tried searching in this thread alone and also the whole of SAU, but cant find a definite answer. With 359 pages worth of thread here, I tried looking, but it seems a lot of people like to talk shit in here too which makes it all that much harder..

Install the adjustable cam gears straight off and use the markers as per Ben's comment.  Then pay someone competent to degree your cams.  Hint: this is far easier and less time consuming to do on the bench/engine stand.

Hey team. 

Massive thanks for this thread. It's amazeballs. 

Just wondering if a factory 25DE ecu could be used to get a 30DET running. Just temporarily so I can check everything for leaks and I'm eating myself noises before it goes for dyno tune.

Not sure what ecu I'm going to use yet will speak to the tuner before to see what brands they are familiar with. 

 

Once again cheers guys

I know....Rb25/30 boredom (not build ) question...but opinions will be cool

Need to know some real Hp/Kw figures for my build...just your guesstimation possibly. 

Build

25neo head.+1mm over int/exh..rear head drain

Stainless valves ..performance springs

Tomei cams (poncam)

Ati balancer ...prp collar..n1oil pump..forged gears..prp billet crank sprocket washers...billet backing plate to n1 pump..7L sump.. Stock crank acl bearings...87mm rb30 block..CP flat top pistons...Max peening H beam rods.

Fuel cell...1000hp fuel supply..1400cc injectors. 

6boost exh...45mm hypergate.

Haltech elite2000....flex fuel.

Real reason is so i know if my gearbox is going flying...

Is this still the thread to read with regards to high hp sohc rb30 applications?

Most stuff on here will relate to DOHC heads.  
What info specifically are you chasing?

Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
