Looking at purchasing a motor for a build and would like to know if there is any differences between

R33 RB25 Series 1 & 2 Turbo and non turbo motors

I plan on going to town on the motor so turbo manifold isnt a must have as il be changing it anyway, im more concerned the outputs and boltups are still the same, and wondering if NA blocks & heads are still gunna work and if there are any advantages of any of those motors above.. I dont want a neo, just hte above stated.

cheers for ya helps

I believe there is some variation in the gallery where the water pump bolts up so depending on which hi po pump you want to use it may or may not be a problem .

Someone recently had an issue fitting a new pump to a S1.5 GTS25T block , I don't know when the pattern changed but someone here probably knows .

I'd be checking to see if the R33 RB25 DE block had oil squirters because they are fiddly to fit if they don't .

The heads not sure but if turbo/NA are anything like FJ20's the NA type may have smaller exhaust manifold studs I suppose because they're not suporting a turbo .

Someone who's used to building up RB's should know the where's and why fors .

Cheers A .

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
