the RB waterpumps are interchangeable in regards to DE and DET. you would be after the DET NEO one.

i just did mine last month, no point doing it if its working or if your constantly at high revs/temps/etc

it's advised you change it at 100,000km as you have to take off the timing belt to access it.

here's a forum sponsor selling them

Don't think that's 100% correct :)

I have memories of seeing an RB20DET, RB25DET & RB26DETT water pump sitting next to each other and remember there being a reasonable difference between the impeller's of each unit ( size & angel of vanes ).

I could be wrong though..... I would imagine your local NISSAN parts rep could clear this one up for you ;)

ohk thanks for the info, yeh im doin my 100k service thats y i need to know, so y is there a neo version water pump i wouldnt think there would be a difference and i have heard of people puttin rb30 water pumps on would i be able to do this?

it was more or less one bolt couldnt be bolted down.

ive had the VL water pump in for a few months now and havent had any issues at all - all has been good, and i think they were only like 80 bucks or something for the pump itself

  • 4 weeks later...
hi i been trying to search and google this but heaps of other stuff keeps comin up, i would just like to know if the rb25det water pumps r the same as the NA ones and how much r they? any info or links would be good, thanks

I have a used water pump coming out of my RB25DE, if you wanna buy it $40 + postage (nothing wrong with it, did my 100k service last week si I put a new one anyway0. But really if you can afford get a brand new one from nissan, something like $170. i THINK MY MECH USED A rb30 ONE IN MY ONE ......

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
