Woops, sorry I didn't answer earlier. Actually the engine is from the Cefiro kit which has an RB20DET. I felt that this valve cover was closer to the RB25's.
The intake manilfold however is from the R32 kit's RB26.

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z

The Cefiero comes with a complete RB20DET, not a top half motor?!?! That's it, I'm getting one. I need the wheels out of it anyway for my stock 240SX project.

Great work on this one, bro. I have been watching it, but just never commented. You have been doing such a good job, I didn't have anything to say that hadn't already been said by the time I got around to reading.

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z

Nice project. I've got one S30 on hold, but with L24+turbo.

RSXSE240: The Cefiro kit comes with a half engine, I've got one I know. Hopefully You haven't got one yet just because the engine?

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z

I'm working on the interior now, flocking for the rear cargo area, rollbar, recaro seats, etc.

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z

I started working on the intake/FMIC plumbing. Added a radiator fan and intake on the turbo. Tried different beds on the hotpipe and cold pipe to the throttle body, tricky to make things route through the radiator supports!

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z

thanks!
I added the BOV on the intake side and a little hose on it. Put hose clamps on the rubber connector
I think I will re-do the air filter to be smaller and look like a K&N

Re: RB25DET Datsun 240z

I added the hot pipe, with welds, a heat sheild for the air filter, vacuum line for the BOV off the wastegate, and upper radiator hose with clamps:



There is a hidden catch can for the radiator(just like on my roadster!), I will make that and start wiring the 6 injectors/fuel rail...stay tuned!
