I've been hearing that the Neo engines can only crank out around 240rwkw on stock internals due to compression setup...Surely this is a load of crap huh? Its the last of the RB25DET... Engineered to perfection. If any, it should be able to pump out more then the R33.. My aim is for 350wrhp on stock internals. Does having a oil cooler help with reliability or is it only for track? Also geting a head gasket to lower the comp help much either in terms of reliabilty?? Or is it only needed for extreme boost levels?

From what i have seen

they do have GTR style Rods in them as i have pulled one apart and compared the rods sizes between regular RB25 & RB26 ones.As for the buckets in the head i compared them to gtr ones i have sitting here and they look similar but the shims underneath are different and to me they have different length Valve Springs.As for the oil pump they look the same didnt take to much notice to the difference between them.

As for power

More Timing + More fuel = Big Power = good for drag racing

Less Timing - Less fuel = Average power = good for track use

I am making 540 hp now out of a regular rb25.Thread Max HP out of Rb25.I aint gonna go on to much but its all to do with tuning and sufficent intercooler ETC to make safe Reliable power out of the RB standard Motors.

Comp in the NEO motors is what holds them back.Your tuner will need to work around this

The power output of these engines are often a question of fuel quality.

Long duration cams will lower compression pressure.

Bigger turbos/exhausthousings will lower backpressure.

Very high peak power numbers are possible at high revs, because of the short

stroke and rodlength/stroke ratio.

500nm at 4000rpm gives 380hp.

500nm at 8000rpm gives 760hp. both with the same combustion pressure.

my answer is I don`t know the limits..

Ok then who wants to buy a few sets of NEO RB25 rods to Upgrade their R33 Rb25s?Their the same as R33s sorry.Did you see that the intake buckets are Alloy?

I suggest anyone doing an RB25 rebuild take you up on this offer. Not only do they look the same but I've had someone look up the part numbers for R34 RB26 and R34 RB25DET and the numbers are the same.

Also the R33 and R34 RB25DET's both have 9:1 compression ratio which can be a limiting factor in putting lots of boost into them.

Bass Junky has about 250rwkw without lowering the compression ratio but he does have cams as do I.

There doesn't seem to be many people succesfully putting a lot of boost into a NEO without cams or lowering the CR. I can't think of any offhand.

The NEO does have solid lifters as does the RB26 but they are not the same.

The NEO exhaust valves are 1mm bigger than the RB26 items. This could help get more power from the same or less boost all other things equal.

It seems to me that without lowering the CR the NEO can take about as much boost as a non NEO. Depends how far you want to push it, how good/consistant your fuel is, and how well tuned it is. The power levels are probably similar, perhaps a slight advantage to the NEO. If injectors aren't being changed the NEO ones are 350cc but earlier ones are 370cc. which could be a limiting factor.

Yeah, we ran into a brick wall at about 250rwkw.

We have pulled timing for the most part and dial in 2 degrees for a squirt every now and then.

The engine wouldn't take any more timing or boost. I'm running about 0.9 bar with Bp Ultimate.

260 degree cams.

If the answer to a bucket load more power is a hea gasket, I'll be wrapped.

Try some Shell Optimax Extreme 100 ron, dropped the knock from 70 to zero in the R33. No other changes. :mage:

We have had 305 rwkw out of an R34GTT. Tomei 260 Poncams, R33GTR intercooler, ported and polished cylinder head, standard head gasket (I don't use thick ones) and a Garret GT30. It wasn't all nice to drive, too peaky, lots of lag, poor throtle response. So we went back to 265 rwkw (GCG high flow) at 1.1 bar, much nicer to drive and ultimately faster point to point. With Extreme I reckon we could have got to 280 rwkw at 1.2 bar, which would be plenty.

:D cheers :)

im getting 291rwkw with 8.9:1compression.. and 20psi boost...

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
