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 .

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
