zzzzed Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Finally the rb25det is in its final resting place. There is still a lot of work to do yet as it is only sitting there I find it strange that I am using the same engine mounts as I was using on the rb20 but the engine sits about 10mm further forward. I happy about this because the gear shift is now in its correct position. Quote
77260Z Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Looking awesome mate. It's going to be a weapon when it's finished! Just throwing this out there but have you thought about painting the valve covers? I think it'd look great in the body/engine bay colour personally but even a polish would bring them up really nicely. Quote
vorn70 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Looks like it fits like a glove. It makes things easy when the mounts line up. Has the rest of the fit been fairly straight forward. Looking good mate. Quote
zzzzed Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 I plan on painting the rocker overs later on. For now I just want to get it back on track so I can go racing. The fit up has been pretty straight forward. I havnt worked out the wiring just yet. It is booked in to jazmac next week to get wired up the tail shaft is in at hardy spicer getting new yokes. So I am hoping by next weekend it should be drivable. Quote

vorn70 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Sounds good Mick. A quick tidy up and she will be ready to roll. I'm a bit jealous you made such light work of getting it up and running. Well done mate. Quote
zzzzed Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 Yeh it wasn't to bad seeing it already was running an rb20det. Just a few mild changes to make the rb25 work. Quote
zzzzed Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 I managed to get some rego on the 240 today. I must say mechanical bugs aside. (All sorted now) The rb25det is a big improvement on the rb20det The torque is so much better. I won't try it to its full Potential until after I have it check out on the dyno. I have it Booked in on Friday for a check up. Happy days. Quote

zzzzed Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 I figured if I don't like it I can just peal it off. Quote
