sil_eightyRPS13 did you block off the middle feed and restrict the rear? If so any issues with the rb25 head since?

they opend up the extra oiling for the 26 crank, and yes there is a tomei restrictor in the head for oil feed..

Which ones did you end up restricting? Theres 3 feeds for the 25 block to 25 head.

It wasnt bad really. Just sand blasted it, then lightly sanded it. Prime, sealed, base and cleared. The center section we just kinda scuffed with sand paper to give it a brushed look then we cleared over it. I still have to put the damn emblem back on, I keep forgetting its at the shop.....lol

well,

Hmmm,

you say you would like to? well im deffinately getting louvres' for mine, and what about when i get mine done, you send me the measurements of the RB20 coilpack, and if the price is reasonable for you, if you cant find anyone in Indiana to do it, you could send me the money, then i could ship you one up there?

Sounds good to me man. Im trying to get a intake plenum first at the moment. I found a guy over at Ruckus Racing who said he could make me one for $250, if I would ship it over to him (OH) Not sure what I wanna do at the moment. Ive got another month before Ill have the money for it anyways. Thats the only thing thats a downfall about this motor is the damn elephant trunk....lol

Yea if only the 20's could have the same pattern manifold as the 25.. oh and dont be fooled by Top Hat's Lunchbox style manifold for the RB.. and it don't have velocity stacks or nothing, its a really crappy design... Luckily i got a good Package deal on A greddy intake, a long with some other parts i needed from coolwhip.

Looking good! What turbo is that btw? I ditched my coil pack cover as well but made a custom little plate in case someone wanted to actually buy the cover from me at some point ( yeah I'm that cheap) Crappy picture of it though.

It's a SC61 Turbo. I cut my coil cover after I heard the heat would kill them quicker.

Hmm, SC61... what are the specs/what are you looking for power-wise (might as well continue the thread jack now) Yeah a good friend from Japan said he would get RB's in the shop a-lot with cracks on the coilpacks from the heat, so I'm trying to do what I can to prevent that.

I don't even remember now. I got it back in 2003 as I was buying my RB motorset. It should take me to 400hp easy tho.

You can do the same with imageshack. Just use the full size section to copy the link, not the thumbnail section.
