i am considering putting a worked R34 neo motor, running gear and aftermarket ECU into my R33 GTS-T.

Just would like to know how much work is involved in doing this conversion. As i am considering this as an option instead of upgrading and rebuilding my RB25, as i can get my hands on the R34 motor.

Im unsure if the engine mounts etc. will have to be moved or modified and if customising much of the gear to make it fit, as i am unfimiliar with the R34 motors, and also the electrical side of things regaurding computers and aftermarket systems.

any info, suggestions or alternatives etc. will be good, i would just like to weigh up whether it worth it or not

well basically, down here it cost a mate near $10,000 dollars to forge the internals in his rb25 with stock turbo high flowed, retune and small mods like walbro fuel pump which is pretty expensive and i can possibly get my hands on a neo motor+gearbox with forged internals, all new gaskets, t04 turbo, new larger injectors, FMIC aftermarket Dr.drift ECU etc. (basically everything but diff) pushing a promissing 250kw on 10psi for less than half the price of the rebuild.

depending on how much work, time and cost for the conversion will determine what i can possibly do in the very near future. At the moment my rb25 has had modifications (bigger turbo, injectors, cam, FMIC, microtech ECU etc etc) pushing a maximum of 300hp with stock internals. will maybe consider bottom end rebuid or rb30 bottom end etc. but exploring this as an option...

cheers

agreed "Traction control and CAS on the neo could be a bit of a problem..." and also you will have to modify the engine mounts...not sure about tial shalft fitting up to r33 diff...but the rest should not be a problem fitting motor, loom, computer and box...keep us updated.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
