Rb30 Bottom End With Neo Rb25de Head

[25GTV]

As topic suggests also can i use my 25 pistons for increased compression...

Just need some info cheers guys

I am pretty sure nothing needs to be changed, you may need lower mounts as the rb30 bottom i think is 38mm bigger. I am also sure rb25 pistons will fit but may not be the best option you should go with, forged pistons will definently be the best option.

Aftermarket ECU is a must have and with a dyno tune you should be set mate.

this is exactly what im going to be doing, but i will be smacking GT35R on the side of mine

The neo head has slightly smaller combustion chambers than the normal rb25/26 head, its somewhere around the 60cc per pot compared to 64ish cc in the normal head. This makes quite a bit of difference to the CR.

With the na rb30 pistons, a deck block, thin hg and the neo head, that would have to net around the 10:1 if not higher. I think the na rb25 pistons might be a tad too much but just grab one of the online CR calculators and start plugging in numbers and you'll see what you'll need. I havent really looked that much into the na side of things since will be going the turbo route, but with mine acl rb30et pistons, neo head, decked block and a 1mm hg will get around the 8.5-9.0 CR mark. Obviously with the na route you would want much more than that

^ R34GTFOUR, im thinking of doing the exact same thing. i want to build a high compression turbo motor but if i cant get forged high compression rb25de pistons, im going to be doing 25/30 conversion instead.

[R34GTFOUR]

if you are using the neo head and want a high compression turbo motor (RB30DET), grab the flat top CP pistons that spool sell in his kit for the normal rb25/30. Depending how you set up the motor, you'll get anywhere from 9.0 to 10:1 CR, i doubt you'll want more than that

I want mine around the 8.8 mark, still responsive but will still like some boost

Im aiming to run everything as standard just with the 30 bottom end and 25 pistons switched. Then a safc will prob do for the extra fuel. Wat machining is required? and do i need a better oil pump than the vL one?

[GTS4WD]

You will need water pump collar and to relocate a pulley.

Google "RB30DET" and .pdf. there is an awsome file out there.

i'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume you meant oil pump collar instead, but thats only if he uses a widenose gtr pump

Lol.. thats the one..

I cam back after work drinks yestureday and I just begin to type..

[25GTV]

wat if i just use the rb25 one?

[R34GTFOUR]

if its going to be a daily the rb25 pump will do the trick, you wont need the crank collar sine the rb25 runs a narrow nose crank like the rb30

If you are going to spend abit of $$ on the conversion and track it abit, an upgraded oil pump is good insurance

[25GTV]

In terms of keeping the vvt wat must be done?

[GTS4WD]

You will have to tap in to the oil galley and run an oil feed to it. The most common used feed is T’ing into the oil pressure sender feed.

[25GTV]

Oh ok so its that simple. I thought i needed to have oil passages welded up in the head... Will the head bolt on with welding mods if i decide to ditch the vvt?

[A31Shon]

iv got a neo 25de head and im building a 30det and just woundering if i should use the neo 25det oil pump instead of the standard one? or if a 25det non neo oil pump would be fine?

before this goes any further, and before a motor blows up

a neo head has a smaller chamber, ive measured them between 52 & 55ccs

in the tech section there is a simple maths formular i wrote up to work out your actual compression ratio, guessing = problem waiting to happen

flat tops with neo head estimated around 9:1 static

now youve all read that, blow up some motors and film results.

So as OP posted what kind of compression it will reach Neo head and 30 block, couldn't find the answer and really bad in calculating compression I am looking around 11 for my NA setup
