If he's "porting and polishing" the head for $660, then he's really only waving a die grinder over it briefly to clean up a few casting dags and that's about it. Either that, or he's got no idea what he's doing and he's just going to hog it out. Refer to my first reply on page 1. I reckon a decent porting job can consume $2000 easy.

thats what i thought thats why i posted that up to show the quote broken down a little -

then i was looking at this -

step 1 and 2 this seem like a good price,

but i am seriously considering this

Looks like no porting on that one though , try supeflow heads at Liverpool I've seen a rb25 he was doing looked pretty good to me, wherever u go I think you are within your rights to see examples of work. Like in west ends case I know they do some of jems engines but I doubt they will tell you that. Ask who ever you go with exactly what porting and polishing you will get for the price

buy my head, it will save u alot. i got a fully prepped 25 head sitting on my workbench, fully machined for a 30 bottom end.

was gonna use it but i dont know if i can be assed to rebuild another motor.

just get urself a new set of lifters and ur good to go.

i have a garret 35/40 at the moment but considering a change..

looking to run 360kw - 420kw.. may never get that hight but best to build motor to handle

Looks like a stock head would be fine with some Tomei cams

forget porting..my 26/30 makes 400 rwkw with 35r with stock head and stock rb30 block.

just buy this

or lash out and get the forged version

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
