After looking at rb30 conversions using det heads, I was thinking of swapping the head of my NA neo rb25 for the det neo head and running a forward facing inlet plenum. Was wondering if anyone out there has done or heard of anything like this?? I know I'd have to make a custom intake, swap the battery sides and probably run the det AAC/IAC and maybe TPS? Any opinions?

i wouldn't bother! save the money and spend it else where (brakes, diff, suspension etc)

the NA head is made to work in conjunction with the NA block, the DET head will most likely lower the compression and make it drive like a dog.

Brakes, suspension has all been upgraded, the only thing I could think of to keep the NA head would be customize the forward facing plenum to suit (the inlet ports that is), could be expensive I know but, I've seen it done.

Being a natro the vertical and central design of the runers is cruicial for making torque, forward facing plenum will result in unequal runner lengths and I'll lose power and mid/low range torque (and being a natro U don't want that)

Det heads as far as I'm aware run the 237 degree cams same as the natro, but unsure if it'd drop the compression (could always use a thinner head gasket)

Mmm if I want to do a 25/30 natro it can be done but your best bet is with a non VCT r32 rb25de head, be prepared to spend a lot of money... And still won't make huge power figures.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
