Hi not sure on this one. I'm looking at doing a RB30 25 head. I have a NEO head and a S1/2 25 head. I want to put the S1/2 head on but was looking at making it solid lifters

Question is, am i able to use the parts out of the NEO head to convert the S1/2 head to solid?

Cheers, Dave.

I don't believe so. When I was researching a 25/30, I read that the average was 8.2:1 which was considered too low.

Obviously depends what pistons you use but 8.5-9.1 was recommended.

The buckets will not interchange from the neo (solid) head to the series 1/2 r33 hyd head , nor will the valves or springs or cam shafts . The neo head would raise the compression approx 1.25/1.5 compression points over the r33 head

Why convert it to solid on a three litre engine as you won't be able to spin the engine hard enough to worry the hydraulic lifter, fit some super tech or Tomei type a springs and ensure the inlet spring seat pressures don't exceed 78 pound or the VCt won't activate. Easierly possible to exceed 450 rwkw with hydraulics and pon 256 camshafts with supporting components using e85

The boys above have a point re the neo head is a far better animal if you are prepared to get rid of the std shim over bucket and make it shim under or shim less cheers brad

Use the Neo head. Better in every way - it will not have too high compression. I have stock pistons with Rb25 head and only 132psi per cylinder. Even with higher compression pistons the Neo head will not be too much.

any ref/info to back this?

The seat pressure changes depending on how far the valve seat is cut into the insert, what valves are used, the collet and retainer and any spring seat under spring. Many spring testers will vary in readings by plus or minus 10 percent. I can only comment that if your running 80 psi of oil pressure ( as oil pressure is what drives the cam gear to advance camshaft so 110 psi oil pressure will overcome a higher spring rate than 80 psi) 80 psi seat and from memory 270 on the nose is about the limit, even then cam chader can be evident on advance activation. Bear in mind the restrictors used in block will change all these findings as they will vary the actual oil gallery pressure in the head. All these tests were done on a circuit based car using a 0.9 mm rear feed, blocked centre and std front feed, with a main oil gallery pressure of 80 psi.

Which bit don't you believe? As per the RB30 pdf stock pistons with rb25 non neo head will result in about 8.2:1 and I have measured my compressions at around 132psi per cylinder which is in line with what others have got. The slightly smaller capacity of the Neo head will not raise the compression ratio very much - don't have the fugure to hand - maybe one of the people who have a neo head can report.

Here's one:

Posted 08 June 2012 - 02:28 PMHey theres nothing wrong with using a neo head I know I have.

I used ACL 8.5:1 pistons on my 1st motor and Mahle 8.5:1's on my second. On the second I decked the head and also decked the block to a 0 deck height. standard nissan rb25 head gasket & I also run BP98 with no problems. I don't think you will have any problems unless your trying to put 65 psi of boost into it. but hey thats just my experience so far.

i believe you are measuring cylinder compression not compression ratio. 2 very different things.

??Yes of course they are two different measurements but directly related - a higher compression ratio will result in higher cylinder compressions ergo a low cylinder compression reading in a good motor (leak down test shows my motor is sound) is indicative of a low CR .

Have you actually read the RB30 pdf in the RB 30 section?

My combination of stock pistons with an RB25DE head is very common and the figures of 8.2:1 and compressions in the low 130's have been repeated many times.

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!

      If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
