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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
