"ful shit its self" doesnt really describe to the people in the know on this forum what happened to your engine.

If uve thrown a rod through ur block, they may as well go a 25, but if its a less major problem, they maybe rebuild will be all you need.

Post up details of what you think has gone wrong.

....Im not being a smart arse, ull just get a better response if you post up more info

thanks for the input guys..

basicly i have a hole in piston 2 and bent valves

im contemplating on putting a 25 in but im in vic and pretty sure id have to get an engineers to get it road worthy..

my other idea is just to buy a bare 20 engine...

so yeah just got to think..

30 is the go...mite be a little hard to pass ur road worthy etc tho!

depends there is the old, grind the 30 engine number off and stamp your 20 number in trick. If you use a 25DE head, then it will look exactly like your 20, bar being 30mm higher-something which i doubt any of the blokes which check would notice.

Or look around for a cheap blown 25 and rebuild that, then sell your 20 to recoup a little of the cost.

It's not like there are mint 25's lying around.

Don't forget there are a few extra issues involved in a 25 conversion. ie. Use 20 or 25 tranny? Gearbox mounted in differently for 25, also which ECU to use? You can use either, depending on your setup and if you want to run NVCS, or even a Power FC.

yeah think i have figured a source i can get a bare 20 motor dirt cheao im going to slap that in for now just to get it going then get roady and in the mean time build a 25/30 then wen complete put it in :(

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
