Well your saying that what they did flows better, so is more efficient to meet emissions laws, and also makes more power.

20wk from the tiny amount of difference your saying there is i feel is a pretty hefty increase isnt it?

All i was saying is that if they went too far then the car would make more power and on paper have more then the GTR lol.

20kw including a new turbo

To date I am yet to see a STD r33 rb25 produce more than 270rwkw, using a HKS GTRS, on 3 independant dynos, like mine has done. :P

To be fair though, you've generated a bit of a strange bunch of variables to have to meet. I am sure there are plenty of standard R33 RB25s that have made around 270rwkw with an HKS GT-RS, they just haven't decided to go and get runs on different dynos as most people stick to a single tuner. I remember years ago when I was researching turbo upgrades for R33 RB25s 270rwkw seemed like the number to go for with one but I decided the GT-RS would start wrecking the fun when I got more power hungry.

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove, its known that R33 RB25s are well capable of going over 270rwkw with a standard head so the engine is not your limiting factor in this case.

IMO the Neo head is the way to go if your going to modify.

Cams - Neo the duration is less however lift is up as is ramp rate due to the neo's solid lifters

We should all know ramp rate and lift is the key to making good power with turbo charged motors. Duration is bad.

Stock they are very similar. The increase in power is a combination of the head, cam timing + slightly larger turbine to get those gasses out a little quicker.

Once we shove on a larger turbo and a pair of cams in the Neo head the Neo waves good bye to an rb25 modified with near identical mods, there's no comparison.

The Neo make power easier with better average power over the hydraulic head.

Yeah I can see that it should do, just find it interesting that although I haven't seen a huge amount of results for Neos running upgraded turbos etc - none of them so far have been that flash. Definitely not anything substantially more than R33 RB25 results, people have even given examples in this thread.

In terms of todays fuels, not really. Quality is much better than the mid 90's when non-neo was being produced!

Most rebuilds etc involve a comp increase, even with bigish boost (18-24psi) due to the much better fuel's avaliable letting things go much nicer :)

So the higher comp would make a difference in say... 1994 with knock, but not in 2009

A while back I asked around and no one (engine builders/machinists) could quote exact differences between R33 and R34 RB25DET heads - from a valve size/compression ratio/porting perspective . I wouldn't have thought that Nissan would've spent the money on an engine family that was not going to last more than a few years .

Anyway the general feeling is that the larger OP6 sized turbine housing will help make similar power R33 vs R34 but there would be a slight turbine lag penalty .

When I first read about the R34GTts std power output (~ 206Kw) I thought thats what R32 GTRs made and went looking for the torque numbers to compare . I can't remember the figures but am sure the GTRs was higher .

Cheers A .

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
