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

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 .

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

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
