hey guys ok iv been posting/asking different people and i have found abit of info here and there but still no clear cut info on my problem.

Im fitting a rb25det head to a rb30 into a R32....

after reading all these threads, could i just cut the VCT solenoid in half and weld a fitting into it and feed oil from the t peiced oil pressure switch? and that would solve the lubration of the front cam jounal problem....

then could i use a rb25de inlet cam (or aftermaket) and cam gears..... will the rb20det inlet cam work?

will the rb25det CAS plug into and work with the r32 CAS wiring?

could i use the rb20det cams and cam gears with the CAS on the rb25det head with VCT disabled?

if im on the right track, or going way down the wrong track can someone help out.... iv been searching and asking people and i know it annoying but i cant really find clear answers to my questions.

wouldnt it be easier to use the internal oil feed to the VCT from the lifter oil feed and then not worry about the VTC solenoid and leave it unpulged???

some 1 tell me if im wrong... im still learning and reading b4 i start my 25/30 build :P

this is how i have done mine

RB25head VCT from r33 including r33 cams with vct. cas, coilpacks, loom sensors from rb20det.

rb30e bottom end rb30e head gasket

oil feet tee'd before the pressure sender going to the VCT solenoid hole.

works perfectly have done 34,000 k's on this motor like this now and it has not missed a beat. making 250rwkw at 17 psi and now 314rwkw on a bigger turbo at 19psi (still not tuned perfectly yet)

sorry just to clarify your running the rb20det cas, coilpacks loom/sensors etc..... i read sumwhere the rb20det cas is different hence why im abit confused....

but if its working in ur car thats the way im going i think.

does anyone know the differences?

are the cams and cam gears any different between models? i just needa know if my rb20det cams/gears and cas will work in the rb25det head....

im unsure wot series head it is??

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
