Ive been looking for a Bosch 304.. i crashed my old vl turbo (calais mock up) being a **** in the rain , so i brought this one and gutterd the outher, my step bro had the gearbox laying around, i put that in because i was sick of blowing up gearboxes, an auto and a standard 5spd, when i gutterd my old vlt, my mate was wercking a sv 5ltr stato, so i said ill give you my crashed calais will all the standard rinning gear that im about to pull out of my brown 1 that i just brought if you give me the 5ltr internal pump and arse end (LSD full diskbreak set up) i thought id be better off doing that, because the parts are worth more than if i was to sell the crashed car with all standard running gear, oh yer i picked the gear box up for $200 i think it was, considdering i have been looking at prises for them and there not cheap (if you can find one) just brought an 044 external fule pump for her to. ---------- Post added 21-09-11 at 13:28 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by milad [View Post] im running the bosch308 pump. ausome bit of gear.. i wonder if i should invest in one of them "raceing dizzy roda buttons" your talking about.. i got mine orded in from autobarn, $30 for the bosh roda dutton and the bosh dizzi cap was $60 i think, i allso brought 8.5mm leads and all NGK plugs at the same time, i can notice the diffrense in responce speed, ive now upgreaded to bosh plugs, dont know the name of them thay have for electrodes. only reason thay are bosh is because i couldnt get hold of any msd Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You then need to run the full RB25 electronics, Change over your dipstick, bottom water feed, etc. Its no quick bang it on and she'll be right job, but it is a lot more rev happy now. thanks mate atleast some one answered my question insted of paying me out, dont think i will bother with the rb25 head, might just work on the 1 i have, get it ported and polished, oversised valves with dubble valve springs and high ratio roller rockers down the track.
