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.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
