Ceffy Question

Hi all, I am a new ceffy owner :P Got a few questions for you guys

1) Why does my ceffy have two throttles in the engine bay? My mate said it may have had cruise control but i couldn't find anything on the dash.

2) Is the ceffy actually wider than the sil? What offset is required for wheels to be flush with the guards?

3) Where can I get a kit?

and... 4) SR or RB20 for the conversion :( (I lost my lisence for 6 months so I got about 5k and 5 more months to make it into something decent ;))

Thanks for your help,

Chris

Im not looking for huge power as I have already lost my lisence once and the temptation would be even greater with a 25, just looking around 150-170rwkw which is quite possible with a near stock rb20, maybe with a tb25 turbo or something. That 5k wasn't justr for the engine btw :(

LoL, you will piss that in no worries.

Just go an rb20 then. Say aftermarket management. Go the rb25 turbo so it makes that power easier. FMIC, gearbox if yours is still auto etc.

Theres ya 5k...

Then spend whatever else you had on decent suspension. Springs that work (ie not too hard) all your sway bars, castor, camber, bushes, then get stuck in to the brakes etc. Have the whole package.

Yeah if you want response go the sr20 with the s15 BB turbo. too_much was pulling 190rwkw with his sil80 I believe.

You'll need a FMIC, fuel pump, injectors, tune ... plus engine plus gearbox.. hmm I think done right you could pull it under $5k.

I'd go the SR ... I would never ever put a rb20 into a cefiro.. if it alreayd had one in there then no worries.. but why would you put one in ? :D

That's 197.7rwkw thankyou very much!.. on 12psi with factory ecu, injectors and afm!

will be interesting to see what it does on 16-17psi

3) For a kit there are a few guys on NS.com (sponser section) selling kits.

4) i'd go a RB25, or SR20, just depends on what you want. SR for dorifto.

I was under the impression rb was:

+more powerful stock

+designed for the car

++cheaper

-older

-less torquey

sr's:

+newer

+torque

+lighter

+more aftermarket parts

-more expensive

-less base power

Won't be using the car for pure drift, maybe an event evey now and again. So many people seem to be against the rb :)

hey when you go from rb to sr did you have to change any of the mounts? did you buy them or fabricate? how is it done? also how much of a pain would it be to get your warning lights and speedo etc working? perhaps too much could enlighten us?? :)

      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

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      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?
