Ok I need some help once again. I finally started my 25/30 for the first time yesterday and it was going as fine as it could for no AAC, bigger cams and no tune. So I put it into the shed to do a check up later last night at about 11pm and when I started the car is made a tapping noise. It sounds like it is coming from the back of the head. Another member posted a video on youtube and it sounds exactly the same

Way too loud to be injector pulse. Im thinking it is either big end bearing or lifters. I didnt get the car above 4000 yesterday and only putted around in third gear (went to the servo) so I dont know how it could be a bearing! Knowing my luck it is and I will have to pull the f**king thing out again. I topped up the oil to see if the noise may go away but it was still there.

Now about half an hour ago I went to start the car to see if it made the noise when it was a little warmer outside and the bloody thing wont start at all. Maybe my plugs are completely fouled from the overfueling?

Please help :down:

Yeh I have oil pressure. I pulled the plugs out today to put new ones in and found out one of the plugs has loss a little bit of metal down in the motor. Do you reckon I can get a little flexi magnet pen to try and get it out? How much damage can it do? God dam I have no luck

Ok turns out the plug wasnt snapped it had melted. It was just that covered in black crap. I have put new plugs in it but it still isnt wanting to start. Any ideas on what it might be? I have tried winding it over and I got a couple of backfire sounding noises. Someone please help :laugh:

If your plug melted, sorry your in deep sh#t. A melted plug usually also means big knock and a holed or melted piston is also common. Covered in black crap means heaps of gunked up oil and stuff. I'd do a compression test but if your lifters aren't working it may not mean anything.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
