nope. basically the same engine but run a bit more efficiently. still an rb25det. the variable timeing engines are VE eg SR20VE (variable cams as opposed ot double cams)

The RB25DET original has VVT but its only like On/Off whereas the NEO has fully variable VVT. Its been covered on here before.

Also, the NEO has 60N-m more max torque and more than 1000rpm earlier in the rev range, so basically a lot more torque at lower revs...

Its also got an extra 20kw peak power, and to top it off, its a touch more economical as well. So yes, I'd say its improved to run noticeably more efficiently. Not a huge difference (appart from torque) but a noticeable difference.

Most of these improvements are all related to the improved VVT, which may be why someone mentioned it being nissan's answer to V-TEC. But I think nissan's answer to V-TEC could just be the TURBO lol! Give me boost and bucketloads of torque anyday over those tiny V-TEC engines that need a car that weighs less than a jellybean to make them go. Sure they're quick, and the technology is great, but they just lack torque.

(maybe I'd think differently if I had a lighter car, but having performance AND practicallity in the one car is very very nice)

I've also been told the NEO has direct injection, but maybe someone on here could confirm that?

It can get confusing referring to both engines because the engine code is the same for both.

The NEO name is probably just given to differentiate between the two. Nothing to do with V-TEC at all in the name.

I should have asked whether the RB25DET has VVT, as I thought all that NEO is is just VVT (like VTEC) anyway.

Take the R33 up to 5,500rpm and there is a nice kick. I assume this is the VVT coming in. Is that right?

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
