Needs more RB25DET NEO Head

Anyone have one?
Needs to be unraped, at a minimum it will need all its cam caps, buckets (cam followers). Of course, I'll take a complete head as that's probably better.

I have a raped one you can have. 2000 of your finest Covid dollars please.

 

Seriously though. Been looking for one for the last 6 months. Nobody is selling because they need their 8 spares. Have lost so much hope that a small part of me is whispering sweet nothings about selling the whole project. Shit times.

yeah that sucks. I was lucky when I had a cam break due to an oil problem, was the second last journal and no piston damage. Did need a new head though.

do you know the root cause of the failure yet?

RB = oil issues lol

From what Alex at Birrong has gathered the restrictors in the block were not small enough, too much crank case pressure from 2bar of boost and as the NEO doesn't run a front head drain/vent there's even more crank case pressure stopping the oil from flowing back down the sump.

From here we will be welding fittings in the sump (above the oil line) to vent the crank case pressure, fitting a catch to sump drain (and only using it on track days, block off for street duties), retaining that additional crank case vent to catch can then fitting 1.1mm restrictors in (and yeah, fitting a head drain too)

    • Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
    • Ah, should have been clearer. Currently has a flex sensor installed all good to go.    like u mentioned, I’ve only ever known the car on e85, I might hate 98, but I have to try it out first. Everyone says the -5 turbos get pretty laggy on 98 octane tho…
    • Duncan , the plan is to get the down pipes done then I book it in for the full tune . Most likely late May , that's the plan.
    • The suspense is killing me lol.  Are you going to buy a flex sensor, then add the 98 tune to your current tune?  It sounds like your just going to delete the current tune and re-tune the car on 98 =/ If you've only known your car on e85, I don't think it will be long before you install the flex sensor and go back to running e85 when its available lol.
    • Currently on an e85 only tune, but I barely get 200km from a full tank. Makes going for longer drives difficult, especially when u leave Melbourne metro as there aren’t many united servos, hence why I’m thinking of going more of a 98 setup.    And yes the smell lol. Any drive afterwards I need to have a shower and wash all the clothes I was wearing, it’s like someone made a Calvin clown e85 perfume and sprayed it all over me haha
