Hello

I am having idle issues with my rb25, the car runs fine revs fine and i put a new stock pump in it about 10000ks ago. I have to keep stabing the accelerator to keep it running, then it will drop to idle for 1 second then just fade off and die. However say i take the car for a spin for a while, turn the car off and come back when its still warm it will idle for approx 20 seconds. Then it fades off and dies again. But the issue i dont get is i can here the pump turn off after that 20 seconds is up ??????? wtf

any help would be good

cheers

The car will idle for approx 1 second and then just fade off and die. No jumping up and down just slowly dies. The car runs alright apart from the idle except when i put it flat to the floor at about 4500 i get a bad miss, if i dont put it flat to the floor just keep the throttle at about 75% its fine. But i think the missfire is a different issue. I replaced the fuel filter about 3,000 ks ago. However the idle problem started before i replaced the filter.

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
