First up... yes ive searched. the search function on this forum is somewhat dated and needs an overhaul IMO... due to bringing up so many irrelevant results up which have nothing to do with the search query

anyway, bitch aside, im putting together a neo powered drift car, some of you may remember i used to have a R32 with stock RB25 with 3071R making 280 rwkw on 17 psi with cams and gears. I still have the 32 these days but its pretty stock these days and the 25 is still in it but stock turbo etc.

i understand that 300 rwkw seems to be regarded as the limits for an internally stock 25... and mine with 28 never posed ANY probs whats so ever and was reliable as hell... soooo Whats a neo motor like with similar power levels?

this time round ive got a 3037 with high mount mani, hks gate and cams + injectors, will be running a nisstune again (love em) and am hoping to make similar power levels.

Is the CR the same in a neo compared to a 33 25?

cheers for the replies... if any.

i know they have solid lifters, but from the searching i did, everyone seems to say they think they have GTR rods... but no confirmation.

Pretty sure there was a thread where someone pulled some out?

i remember reading an article in a magazine about a r34 putting out a decent power figure (goes through pile of mags next to me) ok it a performance imports mag from some months ago, got a red 34 gtt in it, makes 364rwkw on an internally standard 25 neo, and they reckon it was pretty reliable too lol although i wouldnt expect that to last too long without going bang, but then it does prove the fact its possible

i dont think 364 rwkw stock motor would last with me driving it :D

yeah so long i can do what i did with my old 25 i'll be happy. 280 all day every day.

is the C/R ratio same or different to r33 version?

We did up one and only could push .9 Bar on the stock Turbo's.

Strange, because I always thought that 1 bar was safe for RB25's and Neos......Not.

Even with a FMIC, fuel pump, exhaust and computer upgrade it pushed 180RWKW's.

This is an Auto and not manual driven around the city daily.

The Neo Motor is not the best stock motor to draw reliable power from.

If you push it to its limits more than likely you will need a re-build.

300 RWKW's day in day out with stock internals?.....

Depends once again on the Dyno your using.

180rwkw for an auto is REAL good, i would not be complaining :P Manuals top out around 200-210rwkw.

as for 300rwkw reliable out of a RB25 i could post about 6 cars that see regular drifting days (about 6 -8 events a year) and if they can endure drifting they can endure anything. These cars have also ran @ other dyno days. DA driver Chris de jager is one of them and if you think a TD06SH-25G on a rb25 making 300rwkw is unrealistic i dont know what else to say... :D ps his motor has done three seasons in the GFB car before we tuned the TD06SH-25G in his new S15....

    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
