I'm Currently at the finally at the stage of puttin my motor together and was just wantin some help for the guru's out there... i'm buildin a serious rb25 in my s13, below is everything i have just wonderin if i haven't bought something that i need

Head

Tomei soild lifters, type B valves, Pro 10.25mm cams, cam gears, valve stems, arp head studs, twin spray power enteprise 800cc inj & timming belt, trust rail, sard type rj reg, custom plenum 80mm throttle

Fuel

2x 044 bosch pumps runnin 1/2 lines with 5L surge tank

Block

tomei h beam rods, main studs, oil pump & Bearings, cp pistons, ross Harmonic Balancer, new crank collar, n1 water pump

HKS T51R SPL BB, 60mm gt2 Gate and custom manifold & Exhaust

upgraded power steering pump, oil cooler, fmic, haltech ecu, tensioner bearing

Drive

orc twin plate clutch and os giken strenghtened box, gtr front brakes and gtr diff all braided lines, coilovers and adjustable arms and rods

So far i know the basics on how to build the motor... like once the block gets back from gettin balanced and stuff back i'll know the compression and what head gasket to get. obvioulsy check all the clearances and stuff when i'm puttin the bottom end back together. The head i will get the engineering place to put back together for me so they can set the shims for the lifters.

Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket valves you can get or will the standard ones handle the power and if the standard exhaust valve retainers can be used again(or rebuy standard ones) because tomei only give the intake side retainers with the new springs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Well I know nothing about after-market valves and such but I have access to Nissan FAST parts lookup software... so I can lookup part numbers if that helps at all...

Just need the model year or vin or chassis number of the car the engine is from... otheriwise I can guess based on the year... it appears from a quick survey that exhaust valves are the same for most early RB25DE and RB25DET... would differ for the NEO heads.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
