Hey guys I might be doing a Neo Rb25 conversion into my s13 as my mate has a half cut of a r34. TOkyo toys can do the conversion. Now how is the potential of a Neo rb25? Like I heard its hard to tune as most tuners(here in qld) dont know how to tune them for more power. Any r34 owners here have problems with getting more power?

Are we talking RB25DET Neo or RB25DE Neo here? I haven't heard anything about either being hard to tune. As far as I know they're basically the same as the R33 engines.

I reckon an RB25DE would be a nice cheap upgrade for a Q's Silvia or even a K's CA18DET. Have you checked out how it will affect the weight balance?

Mase - Hehe nah dude its completely legal. Its been done heaps of times. Some of my friends have rb20's and rb25s in their silvia's/180s. The rb25 ones go REALLY HARD. They are awesome. Just that none have seen a NEo rb25 in a s13.

MIC33R - This is a Neo Rb25det. Well I knew a mate who has a r34 and he spent like 10 grand with upgrades and to only get maginal gains. This was done at sub zero too, so it was at a pretty reputable place. BUt yeah he says that just the tuners here in QLD dont have much experience in tuning the NeO engine. But I think NSW it might not be the case as there is probably a more wider range and experienced tuners there.

Doesnt it have improved VVT as well, ie greater range?

Just about any turbo motor will improve from stock if you stick to the age old formula, ie, exhaust, intake filter, management, boost. After that it goes on, cams, cam gears, porting, bigger turbo etc - usual stuff. This is of course not taking into account weaknesses in any support systems (fuel system, clutch, etc)

HPI have run a series of articles on an R34 GTt (RB25DET Neo), and have extracted much better power using exactly this process. At last count I think it was putting down approx 230-240 odd rwkw with a highflow, and now they are doing injectors, turbo, manifold, head gasket, mild port - aiming for around 300 ish.

I am not aware of any major differences between the R33 and R34 engine at the basic block/head design level

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
