I live in the bahamas and we have a relatively active drag racing seen here in Nassau, and unfortunately we go through alot of rb25det motors, it not uncommon to see 400 whp skylines,.

recently though there has be a shortage of rb25det motors and when i blew 3 pistons a month back i decided to rebuild mine, i should mention that there are no proper shop here to blue print the motor so we just took it down replaced the pistons, retorqued the motor and dropped it back in.

now i have a knock on start up, it last for about 2 seconds and then the motor runs fine, we have determined that the knock is a result of clearance issues, i have trashed the car around at 12 psi without any problems but want to increase the boost to 20 psi, just want to know if you well advised experts think its going to be a problem or will the knock get worse.

If it goes away once the its been running for a bit i would say its a bit of piston slap, which is when the piston shifts slightly in the bore. By the sounds of it anyway. Did you measure/hone the bore or did you just slap pistons in it and throw it back together ?

Minor piston slap goes away as the motor gets hot and piston size increases slightly.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
