Is it possible that tight valve clearance on the exhaust side can cause little to no vacuum on idle...... This is regards to a RB25DET NEO i got...Re done the head installing tomei 1.2 head gasket and lapp over the valves however after that was done the intake side was at nissan specs of 0.012 and the exhaust is way tighter(0.014 to 0.015) on all 12 of the exhaust... will this cause such issue... secondly my last chance was to check to see if my timing was off

Actually no vaccum at  all just show 0 on all gauges(ecu and boost gauge)....running tomei pon cam 262ex and 260in..... before i did the head work this never happened so i was wondering if is something to do with the clearances or timing .... but since the exhaust side has change was wondering if that would of been the cause

What rpm will it run steady while holding throttle open.

Are all the vac lines connected properly, might wanna do a leak test

checked all lines last time i try to make the car stay steady at idle was at 2000 to 2500 rpm or so.....am starting to think its more to deal with the exhaust clearance that causing it not to idle at lower rpm since the clearance is tight..but i just wanna confirm with yall....dont have leak down tools but only a compression tester

That's a big issue you have, but I don't think it's the tight clearances  causing it.

Unless they are non existant.

tight exhaust clearances will lead to burnt exhaust valves, so I would be addressing it first anyway.

well i havent drove the car/ran it for long to say for it to cause any major damages but it ran for a while with no heavy load......but what do you suspect it maybe?

Intake leak, throttle not closing fully, timing heaps wrong.

Hard to guess

try a home made smoke machine had a very slight leak to the throttle body/tps......saw no other leaks from the intake(injector seals,gasket,vac lines) just the timing to check .... this engine produce vac before i took off the head but after i lap the exhaust valves(grit to fine) and due to human error on my side forgot to check clearance( first time dealing with head work on rb) lol...... but will the exhaust valve cause this issue being the clearance out of gap...

oh i did check timing but i dont like using the crank pulley as it tends not to be 100% correct(believe mines getting worn out).... all marks seems to line up perfect and did the screw driver trick to make sure it was tdc and all marks line perfect ...... geeeeeeeez idk why little things does cause big problems lolzzz

That could be your problem, you have to line up the dots on the pulleys, I dont recall if that is even at tdc as it doesn't really matter.

yeah all the dots are lined up perfectly ...just did the screw driver test for additional clarification ...... still my question havent been answered yet " will the current clearance value cause this problem also" or is it just intake related(intake cam,boost/vac leak etc)

People don't tend to stuff up the exhaust clearence then post results online. If they are just tighter than the spec, but still exist, I would say no way would it cause your issue.

What about ignition timing?

havent got a timing light to know... i had it at the neutral position/stock...sooooo .....again i started the engine before i did the head removal and it showed vac and also the timing was at stock position and idle fine just dump alot of gas....reason for head removal had a slight bent valve on 11 and 12 exhaust(idk how it happened) but the engine was bought from someone etc etc etc

Was it running with these cams prior or were they put in while doing the head.

Can you put an air fitting in spark plug hole while at tdc comp stroke and listed to see if valves are sealing.

Those clearences will not cause it to have no vacuum

yes it was running with those cams before and  the engine ran with vac perfect before i took of the head to replace the valves(two exhaust) ..... so your saying the clearance on the exhaust side wouldnt cause such ?

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
