Hi everyone.

I'm just thinking of installing a r33 rb25det into my r34 as I find its much easier and cheaper to get a r33 rb25det then the neo engines.

What I wanna know is how different is the r33 rb25det to the r34 rb25de.

I'm talking about fitment and wire loom. Can I use the loom from the neo engine? or will I have to cut it up and use the r33 loom?

What other changes will I have to do? I'm guessing ecu, gearbox.

Will the triptronic of the r34 work on the r33?

Any advice would be a be help.

Regards Maike. :happy:

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I was just playing with the idea. I'm not really after big power just turbo :happy: thats the only reason I was considering the r33 rb engine as I don't really want to spend too much either *dreams* Guess I can wait few years til the neo is cheaper. hehe

sorry to hijack your thread :D . But say for instance i had a 420hp s2 rb25 sitting and a sadly wrecked 33. lookin at upgrading to the 34 style (much nicer imo). so same q's as maike, just not a dream. kinda serious. everything mechanical wise is fine on the 33 [except fmic and radiator/ac].

any advice would be greatly appreciated...

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
