Hi all , am learning about RB25DET differences because I like to take advantage of factory upgrade engineering when possible .

It was said that compared to the R33 version the R43 Neo engine uses larger exhaust valves , solid buckets and different chamber and piston crown design . If the chamber is shallower I guess the piston dish must be deeper meaning Nissan could have been looking for better anti detonation qualities and no doubt lower emissions .

If these engines use RB26 type con rods then that would also mean larger gudgeon pins wouldn't it ?

I'm beginning to wonder what needs to be changed to fit the Neo engine to an R33 electrically speaking . To have the late VCT working properly would mean the R34 loom and obviously the ECU .

Has anyone been down this road ?

And no don't want an R34 Skyline .

Cheers A .

i heard they have hydraulic lifters, and the valve springs are considerably weaker then normal r33 rb25 and they suffer from valve float quite easily. That came from a workshop....so i dont know how much truth is in it.

Go the neo! Im not bein biased but i had a r33 series one engine in my old r32 it wasnt as smooth as the neo and wasnt as torquey. :) I got 170 kw atw on 12 psi front mount, exhaust etc etc. The neo has all the same mods and puts out more on standard boost. :)

They are still rb25 det they came out in the r34gtt. The head is different, throttle body they have a different cover on the engine, solid lifters,stronger rods,different pistons,bigger exhaust housing on turbo. Keeps its legs all the way to redline! Not like the old ones they run out of puff bout 5800rpm! And they make 19kws and 50nm of torque more than the r33 rb25...

    • Hi, i’m making Vag coil loom for rb25det, can anyone confirm the wire guage i’m using for power supply in diagram is enough for supply not too small for loom? For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?
    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
