so i dont know if this has been brought up before and i tried to briefly search to no avail.

i have a 93 r33 s1,

im wondering if its possible or if theres any point to converting to a neo head and whatnot. not a complete engine swap just the head.

is there any point to it?, if so any increase of anything or is it totally stupid and pointless.

im wondering because the neo is suppose to be emission efficient or something like that and here in canada they are anal out the ass about emissions and skylines in general. so if theres a way that its worth it to make them happy and gain any performance then im willing to do it.

thankyou so much for any help

dont think they have significantly different blocks, people run both neo heads and hydraulic rb25 heads on RB30 blocks, so i cant see why you couldnt fit one to a non-neo rb25

but dont take my word as gospel, im just taking an guess from i know

if it is possible, then the advantages would be changing from hydraulic lifters to solid lifters (like on a 26), and more modern cyl head design.

but for the cost involved it would probably be just as easy to put an rb26 head on your block

the neo also has smaller combustion chambers than both the rb25 and 26 so you will be raising your compression ratio. so you will probably need to fit some lower comp pistons to get ur comp ratio where you want it.

in my opinion its a bit pointless. yes the neo is a slightly better head but i cant see you gaining a great deal of power or reducing emissions

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
