Im not expacting a MASSIVE increase in power, as a final figue. As Michael said, the differences should be huge.

As there is 1.5m less of intercooler pipeing and individual throttle bodies the turbo will spool quicker, reach peak boost at a lower RPM and be alot more responsive.

More responce means I have a widerpower band, more usable torque and power at lower RPM.

Please bear in mind this is going in a fairly light R32 too, not a bulky R34.

The wait is finally over guys! This is it - the one of a kind RB25DET NEO with GTR plenum, NO adaptor plates!

Engine fired-up no probs, now taking it easy for a while to run-in the head and make sure there's no leaks etc. The engine asks for a tune-up.

Latest details of the mod are as follows:

- Used the standard GTR air box, AAC valve and air regulator under the plenum (for last two, harness modded with connectors to suit).

- Used the standard GTR water tube under the air box and water hoses to suit. One outlet from the water tube was plugged.

- Used the standard GTR blow-off valve setup.

- Ditched the Neo oil cooler/filter holder as it interfered with the air box and used instead a standard oil filter holder from any RB20/RB25.

- Used for now the NEO fuel rail and injectors. Will upgrade later to GTR rail and higher flow injectors.

- Used the NEO TPS (throttle position sensor) with adaptor piece as seen in the photo.

- Used the NEO boost sensor (connected to the plenum).

- Ditched the throttle motor and sensor (NEO traction control system).

- Ditched the carbon canister purge solenoid and connected the canister through one way valve to the GTR factory port.

- On the turbo side, used a Turbosmart elbow reducer 3in to 2.5in to connect the turbo outlet with the GTR air tube

More pics to come!

Sweet, getting back my head this weekend so I will throw up some pics to compare and then I will be PMing for the much needed advice. Still need to replace the guides and get them reemed though :D. Sweet job nonetheless, how is the response and PM me details as I am going with an RB26DETT bottom end with the Neo head and keeping the VCT and using the RB26 covers and whatnot, may just keep it single turbo as I already got my HKS cast iron setup with external gate.

Do you think there would be any problem with leaving out this bolt as my machinist forgot this and widened the water outlet for the GTR setup. Thinking about leaving it this way, your thoughts?

I think this is a bolt guide, nothing more.

Has done similar work, perhaps someone would be helpful:

No. It is still at the stage of assembly. Plan before the end of the month run.

At the moment, is a problem - how to control valve VCT because ECU will stand by RB20DET. I do so out of ECU, the external electronics.

There are thoughts about this?

Strelok, ya tebe otvetil na nisme.

I would certainly try to get a bolt back in there. Its not a ocating bolt, it clamps the head down to stop a coolant oil leak from those 2 passages.

Hmmmm this would require me to get the area filled and tapped for the bolt as the inside of the head in that area was ground to mate proper with the RB26 ITB water ports. Gonna ponder on this for a bit, I am think the headstuds should have more than sufficed for this but I will rethink it.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
