All the engines you listed use the same FPR. So, they are all affected by higher PSI regardless of flow.

Does this mean that anyone, regardles of engine, using a walboro needs an aftermarket FPR to compensate for the pressure? Since, you'll be overloading the stock FPR so to speak?

What about FMUs?

Damn, are you serious?

Whats wrong with it and why do you have to move? If you dont mind me asking...

Tenchuu · 04-26-2006, 09:21 AM

copied and pasted from the for sale thread

the why on the sell:
I am quitting the millitairy and moveing on monday (may 1)
Moveing to Oregon witch lacks a shop for me to cheaply work on it
car currently barley runs and sounds like a lawnmower
i still have to pack up, move out to another place and clean up my place before monday (currently 1/2 way packed)
I don't have little if any mechanic troubleshooting skills to figure this out, i don't have the cash to pay a mechanic to do this as well as keep full coverage (have to since have loan on car), pay the car payments, pay off the loan for the swap and pay the credit card off for the swap AND buy another vehicle to drive in the mean time while this is down cause i am going to be unemployed for a couple of months while i relocate.

so current bills+mechanic bills+second car payments+moveing-my job=need a reliable vehicle.

Neejay · 04-26-2006, 09:27 AM

Damn...sorry to hear.

Tenchuu · 04-26-2006, 11:05 AM

well it's oficial #5 cyl is flatlined.

**mrmephistopheles** · 04-26-2006, 04:01 PM

i take it your motor is out of warranty from the importer?

Tenchuu · 04-28-2006, 07:23 AM

well as of now the whole car is going to drift freaq to go to (syko performance) for repairs, i could just pay for the repairs and keep it......or sell it running guess it is all up to me to sell shit and raise funds to keep it or toss in the towel and call it a day on the 98RB project. will be deciding soon.

R33GTS-T · 04-28-2006, 07:36 AM

personally i think you have so much time and money invested into this project it would be a damn shame to turn around and sell it....especially if you get it fixed up and running

there's nothing like the sound of an RB25DET

i'll never own another S chassis car w/o and RB in it.....hell even my girl is planning to build an RB25 powered zenki s14 during this coming off season

*NemeGuero* · 04-28-2006, 10:44 AM

Keep it! I'm sure Dave will give you a good/fair deal!

Tenchuu · 04-28-2006, 01:11 PM

dave and gary are great guys, that is why i trust them with the car adn that they are going to do an A+++ job on it. thing is my priorities ar kinda shifting and funding is tight.

and if i keep it i will have to go back down to LA from OR then drive back up to OR again with the gas price at $my left nut/gallon

Tenchuu · 05-05-2006, 12:08 AM

OK car is running fine and has a new longblock in it. altho i am not going to be around to see it, it is going to be sold here soon. this is the end of the RB swap for me. swap was a complete sucess, reliability was a complete failure for me. obviously this isn't the normal as henery and alot of people have perfectly running RB cars that give no problem, but if anyne attempt to do this in the future, i would suggest haveing 2x the needed funds for misc items that don't work, but top of the line shit the first time, and be prepared to buy a new engine or completely go through it the first time.

i learned the lessons everything expensive way. but now with the new motor, a qualified mechanic is going over it, and i will be running fine, and i will never have to see that car ever again. and after all the work and money i put into it i have to say that might be a good thing.

You should definitely be getting better mileage than that. I get higher than that in the city, and mid 20s on the highway. I do recall that running a couple bottles of injector cleaner through not long after the swap helped with my mileage and a minor cold start issue I was having.

Not sure about the jerkyness. Mine is completely smooth unless it's my fault. I have an Exedy clutch and it's pretty grabby.

well that car went away, but thing is i am putting two more RBs in my new kouki, and a friends S13 here in the next month (most likely)

so i guess i could tack on some more info th this thread, that or make a new one, maby that would be best.

speedo read fine, the tach needed to be recal. you can adjust it with a screw on the back of the S14 gauge, but you have to have something to adjust it to to make sure it is 100% acurate

nissanguy13 · 05-27-2007, 01:43 AM

did you figure out what the hell that big metal chunk on your firewall was? I saw one of the earlier posts on this thread, you must of been talking about my bad ass sr?

Tenchuu · 05-27-2007, 10:18 PM

maby......

nissanguy13 · 05-29-2007, 02:46 AM

Hopefully one of these days well be in the same area so I can see this damn project. Since you took off with the other one before I got back

Tenchuu · 05-30-2007, 09:48 PM

kouki_s14 · 05-30-2007, 10:04 PM

not really, but i have read other ways to do it,but all of them involve splicing hoses, and i still want to see it work in person.

and that one was only about $40 + 2 min to install.

by the way, that intake is a beat up POS that came with my clip, i have one for it floating around somewhere buried in the garage that is new.
