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.

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
