I recently bought a s13 and have been wanting to do a 25neo swap. I live in the us so neo motors are a rarity and the only place I can find them are from those sketchy canadians up north. And from them who knows what your gonna get. I can find r33 25's all day even in the states for a little extra but I dont know the potential I would be missing out on. I've heard a lot of good things about the neo besides the price of clutches and was wondering your thoughts. From what I here if anyone would know about these motors it would be you guys.

well, for starters, I'm pretty sure the NEO's are fitted with RB26 rods from the factory so that would make them stronger.

They are also 9.3:1 Compression as opposed to the 9:1 compression of the R33 RB25

I've read they also have solid lifters and the vvt as apposed to the r33's but I was wondering if any body has pushed them and if they really mad more reliable power than the r33's.

The NEO tends to make more power for the same amount of mods better breathing due to head package). They are both as reliable as each other but the Neos' tend to have lower mileage which helps.

interesting, can anyone back this up?

Also consider the availability of aftermarket turbo kits and ECU's (ie Power FC). Mods for the 33 are more readily available and cheaper than for the 34. NB: PFC are discontinued for RB25's

turbo kits from R33 fit perfect on R34, i do it all the time with the trust kits.

Bloody net dropping out!!!!!

Here we go, I'll retype again...

NVCS is only on one cam.

They run narrow body injectors

Stock turbo is weaker when boosted due to nylon comp wheel, ceramic exhaust wheel like r33

Mate Ben has R34 GT-T

Stock engine

tomei poncams 260

800cc inj

044

fuel reg

z32

power fc

front mount

plazma man plenum

T04Z

363RWKW @22 psi Z32 starting to max out.

He has a built RB30 bottom end to swap in due to nos system he intends to use with setup, no bull.

The way I look at it is that it makes a bit more grunt in factory trim so that can't be a bad thing . The electronics running it are a bit more advanced so if you can get control of those then its tighter controls IMO .

I think the non hydraulic buckets are a bonus and will open up your choice of cam profiles . If you really want to I'm sure there are ways to get larger injectors into them .

Also don't write off RB26's if you can get them for reasonable money , a few people have used those in the US .

Further O/T . If I was over there I'd be doing a killer KA24DE-T because there are so many parts available for them and they are std (DE) in a USDM S14 anyway . I guess its a case of how much your prepared to pay to be different . I don't remember the exact cc figures for both KA24 and RB25 but there's probably only 100cc's in it if that .

Cheers A .

And an extra 2 cylinders bobbing away in the RB? Surley that counts for something?

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
