hey im looking at doing a twin cam convertion to my RB30e

i just wona know besides ecu whats the diffrence between a RB25DE and RB25DET (minus the VVT)

cause one of my friends has a 33 with a 25DET and is going to put in a RB26DETT so i was gona see i can get the eng of him and put it on mine. i know the comp will be lower and ill be getting forgys any way when i do the build.

im stick to na this is why im asking about the DET head

the head set-ups are different, they have different pistons, valve springs, cams, injectors fuel regulators, other than that not much, pretty much if you are going to up-grade the head in any way it wouldnt matter if you went with a turbo or na head but people always go with the na head cause i ends up with a higher compression ratio i think mainly cause of the pistons, and you wouldnt need forgies if you were building up a stock rb30de you could just use the 25de pistons and get 10.5-11ish:1 comp ratio, biggest prob is high comp forged na pistons are hard to find

I'm going to disagree with the above post, there isn't any difference in the R33 RB25DE/T head it's self, they are the same has the same cams, lifters and valve springs (according to the R33 engine manual), how ever the above post is correct in saying the injectors and pistons are different.

Using The RB25DE pistons in a RB30DE will give you a compression ratio of 10.4:1 - 10.5:1

If using a R33 head you don't have to keep it vct, all you need to do is remove the R33 VCT cam and replace it with the intake cam and cam wheel from a R32 RB20DET, the cam specs for the RB20DET are 240 duration with 7.8mm lift. Simple bolt in job and no more vct.

correct, the injectors and pistons are different.

and it would be difficult to get 11:1 ration without some block/head decking and thin gasket.

high comp forged na pistons shouldnt be too hard, i have read somewhere that the VG30(?) pistons should fit - look into bore, stroke and other specs of other available nissans. you'd be surprised.

thanks guys, witht the build i was going to use a motec m800 ecu (when i get the money) and also potenterly put nos in to the build that was my reason for the forged pistons.

it is becomeing very hard to find a full rb25de head with loom and comp. thats why i was concidering the rb25det head and now i know i can get rid on vct i might use it.

thanks agan

  • 2 weeks later...

r33 head plus rb25de pistons =10.43:1 compression ratio.. if you deck the block 0.75mm you will get 12:1 compression.

if my engine needs a rebuild i will be going for 12:1 this time. just need to find out if i warped the crank or just broke the flywheel/clutch...

vvt is great. helps keep it nice and torquy.

25det injectors are a bouns. i have 25de and there running at about 80% duty cycle.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
