Hey guys we have recently built a new engine for my drifter and we are having issues with the engine being very lazy, i'll list the details of the engine then I'll go into more detail about it's performance.

RB25 Block with 26 crank, rods and 0.5 mm oversized pistons, all factory nissan parts

Rb 25 Tomei poncams inlet and exhaust

Greddy plenum

750cc injectors

splitfire coils

6boost manifold with 3540 and 44mm tial gate

Power FC

With the new engine it makes 340Kw at the wheels on 20psi, though it doesnt feel like it, the old completely stock internaled had only 300kw at the wheels on the same boost but it felt crazy compared to the new one. The stock motor made 300kw by 4000 rpm and held it all the way to 8300, where as the new engine acts really strangely, it is making 15psi by 4000rpm but doesnt actually make any power till 5000 at the earliest.

We are thinking it might be a mismatch in the 25 cams to the extra capacity of the 26, we are going to try putting adjustable cams in it over the next few weeks, but other than that i have no idea how to fix the laziness of the engine.

The other issue we are having is after the car has been driven and is up to track temperature the lifters start to play up, they rattle really loudly and the engine starts to miss badly, we've put a 1.2mm restrictors into the oil feeds, could this be too much, the lifters never made any noise in the old engine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated cause it is well and truely doing my head in.

3540 has a .82 housing,

original engine made an almost flat power curve from around 4500 to the rev limit, so it probly made around the 280kw mark at 4000rpm, i dont have a copy of the dyno sheet, i might ring Rob at Creatd and get a copy for you. It was very savage power. But very fun.

is this wheel horsepower ?

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
