Hi there I noticed there were some differences in torque between the series 1 and 2 RB25DET engines.

Series 1: 250 ps (183.88 kw) / 6400 rpm - 30.0 kg*m (294.20 N*m) / 3200 rpm

Series 2: 250 ps (183.88 kw) / 6400 rpm - 30.0 kg*m (294.20 N*m) / 4800 rpm

Where is the extra torque from the series 1 motor coming from. And if it has something to do with the valve timing - does this make the series 1 the superior engine for modification? The series 1 is more powerful out of factory?

Just gettin' in to Skylines sorry and looking to purchase one. Need to know if the s1 is the better base engine.

Cheers.

Not quite sure but i think series 2 were starting to bring in the Neo engines...

So different Head internals... cams, lifters...

that's what i thought anyway...

Edited by axe s

the only diff between series 1 and 2 was the coils . they got the ignitor inside them instead of a stand alone one . they made the same power and torque . and what is up with your stats above ? they were identical . and if you bring the neo into this at would be series 3. and they are FAR superior

If you have the option, go Neo for sure in a R34.

The only difference i have noticed between the engines is the AFM. A S1 motor uses the sometimes troublesome "green label" AFM, the same as the 1 for my RB20 in my R32 GTS-T. The series 2 motor uses the better "pink label" AFM, as found in the R34 RB25DET NEO motor also. When my AFM crapped out, there weren't any green label 1s at the time, so i had a pink label retro fitted & the car has been going like a gun ever since. I think some GTR owners are starting to use these as an alternative to the Z32 upgrade also, not 100% on that 1 though.

Or better yet, do like im planning & put a RB25 NEO in a R32 lol.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
