RB25DET MOTOR BUILD (Update)What up everyone,

In about 3 weeks my life is going to be completely consumed again with another video in our RB 240 build series. I put a list together, more for myself than anything, but figured for those of you who are staying up with the project it would be interesting to know what's coming up.I'll be posting up continuous updates of the progress of the motor, we're shooting for a solid and reliable 500hp motor and hitting up the pro-am series in '08.The build DVD will likely be split into a few different DVDs allowing us to focus heavily on each sectioned covered. Stay up with us.

Update;

TOMEI cams arrived today!! The head might be documented first.

[Darius]

So if you're doing Ferrea valves, did you have them cut their valves to factory specs or are you converting to solid lifters or do you already have a NEO head? Ferrea's stock valve set for the RB25 is for the R34 NEO.

[Mute]

Not anymore, they now have valve sizing for the Series 1 RB25 since our valves were cut to factory spec.

thank Darius and I, also the other suckers who broke stock ones....

[Darius]

Wow so bugging the crap out of them to finally produce sets for the S1/S2 motors actually worked. Must have figured out how profitable it really would be.

[Coolwhip]

Theres another company thats working on a set of valves as well for the S1/S2 (which happens to be one of our friends Darius)

[Mute]

Well, the video feature helps, but Ferrea has been great to work with as they now understand that their valves they have offered weren't a universal application. Actually they were happy to address this issue for all the RB owners out there. So I'm glad it will help a lot of us in the future.

[Mute]

By the way, we have just added WPC as a sponsor and they will be treating our pistons, rings, pins, and bearings.

Yeah I hope he gets that deal to go through to give people another option and most likely a less expensive one. Ferrea needs some competition in this area

Ali worked on the outline over the last 2 days.

Please any questions about the build on this thread so we can do our best to address them.

You have an RB25DET and you list Tomei cam gear"s". Are you going to get rid of the VTC or was that simply a typo?

[raremotive]

hmm I been feeling...

You are correct, this list was not updated;Tomei advised us to not use their cam gears for this setup.

[DRIFTING.com]

hmm I been feeling...

here is a photo of the cams that arrived this week

[Mute]

Additionally, Tomei offers the "Pro-cam" which can use the adjustable cam gears, and yes, it would cancel out the VTC and open up a can of worms for tuning as I've been told. So for this build Pon-cam it is, perhaps when we do a stage 2 build, something stroked, we'll get into adjustable cam gears.

Oh yeah, I'll take some flicks and post them up, didnt think anyone would care to see the parts before they got dropped in.
