can u tell me how an LT8 will run a rb25. I was under the impression LT-8 would run 4 injectors and 4 spark plugs, hence the 8, and therefore only good for 4 cylinder and rotories. I was also under the impression you would need a LT12, LTX12 or LT12S to run a 6cylinder. Clarify please?

Mate LT8 are not just for 4cylinder cars .. I have one on a RB30 Calais .. if you dont want to re wirer u get a Lt12.. all ecu are made for more then the 4 cylinders /..

bump, pms sent, well ICE in Melbourne quoted me $1100 installed and tuned. And they are highly respected in the Victorian section!!!

Thanks for the nice remarks guys!!

PS: The Power FC was just a one off from a friend who was in a desperate situation.

Its best to use a LT12 for a 6 cyl car. You can make some additional outputs run the other injectors and use a LT8, but you don't get full functionality if doing so. In saying that you probably don't NEED FULL functionality of the ECU and they are a good unit.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
