Reading an article the other day in Zoom i think it was a guy had an RB30/26 setup which i well known to everyone as is the head/block combos but after reading his setup infact he has a RB30 with a RB25 head with RB26 internals in the head now i wasnt sure if this was exactly possible i have heard of people saying "my RB25 head is RB26 spec or better" but not RB26 internals and if so how many other parts and internal parts are swappable?

I did search for this maybe just wasnt using the right words if there was somthin on it.

Just means he wasted time puttingh RB26 cams or something into a RB25 head - as that is all such a conversion is, waste of time :P

You can do anything you want really, just need money.

As for the mods actually being beneficial/worth the time, that is a whole other story.

Could it not also mean it was a RB25DE head and the valve springs were changed to RB26 items?

I think I read that was done somewhere in one of the hybrid build documents ive seen floating around. Dont ask me though.. i'll leave head building for my machine shop.

If you can get another look at it, it would be helpful. Look for the VCT solenoid next to the intake cam gear above the coolant out hose. If its there, (or removed and plugged), then you have a RB25DET head.

Otherwise its a RB25DE head (non vct), which is a direct bolt on to the RB30 block. As well as they use a similar valvetrain to an RB20, so they can be upgraded with RB26 parts. IE, springs, cams and lifters.

Rb25DET's use a hydraulic lifter so the 26 liftes arent compatible for that head.

Was it a car from Canberra?

If so, thats Fitspatrick SPeed Works (yes, he's on these forums every now and then)

i thought that car was running 26 head with a 25 block as they broke the 26 and had a spare 25 they werent using.

or is that one of the other ones?

RB20DET and RB25DE (R32 - non VCT) are hydraulic lifter heads aswell..

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
