hmmm must be something wrong with mine! ehhehe , what clutch are you using and how much does your rev's rev out to?

My motor is a un-opened rb25det doing 250kws on 17psi with a highflow turbo . Do you think if i tell my tuner to increase my revs long? would it effect my motor more?

PS - nice turbo !

a few things to note. simon runs a r34 neo rb25. they are a far more advanced engine than the r33 rb25.

simons car has nearly 400rwkw not 250 but there is a fair bit of sicence behind a decent turbo and the flow caracheristics of a turbo and would say that even if you squized more power out of the turbo you have it still wont give you the same results as a gt series garrett.

also its not the power as that is just a peak measurment. its all the area under the power curve that counts.

it can also be alignment settings, tyre type and Key note tyre pressures that make tyres grip different.

1/4 past f**k all difference between a R33 RB25 and NEO in real life performace when they are tuned to this kind of power...

GT Garrett's are also not the be all and end all of turbos, my cheapy Kinugawa turbo does the job just as well as a 3076R :)

I think you will find that the difference would be outright power (as you have suggested 400rwkw is not 250rwkw) and also weight will have a huge factor. A stripped S14 compared to a street R33 would be about 400kg difference at a guess and that is MASSIVE :cheers:

I've had quite a few tuners tell me that there is quite a difference and that it is basically the same as an rb26 head. You sure there isn't some truth in this?

I have also been told they respond a lot better to modifications that the old RB25 due to the head setup etc... I think the rods are stronger too? But as i have an R34 i have a NEO if i like it or not :banana:

As for the high flow setup, i decided to ditch my high flow as it was laggy and overall not that impressive... I am looking forward to the 3037 conversion for the response and power...

REALLY looking forward to the back to back test on the GTX vs the GT!!!

No doubt they are a better design than a R33 RB25 head. They have solid lifters and better cams etc

What I said was the differences do not make a huge difference in terms of relative performance at this kind of power level!

That was sort of what I was getting at, how much of a difference of peak power do the different heads produce in certain power ranges?

<br><br>Just hope on e85 itll pump you close to 300 and pump the torque up aswell ever since I went on the stuff and at the last drift day third goes no worries and alot safer.

i did wonder if id get some resistance to my comments. whist yes at the same power lever there is f all difference but the fact they have solid lifters and better designe through out makes them a different motor.

i am also yet to see a good example of a stock r33 rb20 making 400rwkw. the few examples i know of have only been made with massive turbos with bad responce.

i also know that a garrett is far from the best but the actual flow differences between a hiflow and a gt series is light years in my opinion. ive had real life experiances with both.

What about my R33 RB25 (with a dead stock motor, stock cams etc)???

comp test isnt 100% accurate and i did also say i used the workshop comp tester which has been known to read lower. either way.. it goes hard. i have no issues with the motor so far. BTW what are the CP's you have for sale for the neo?

as for neo/non neo differences.. as simonr32 said theres not much in it when you start running large boost with a decent turbo capeable of flowing it. both will do the job. the neo's are just a little bit better with their solid lifters and GTR rods.

Geraus: the reason yours doesnt make the post is because of the turbo.. a highflow is a basic upgrade and perfect for the street. but no good for anything over 280 ish rwkw. anything more then that is GT30 territory.

as for neo/non neo differences.. as simonr32 said theres not much in it when you start running large boost with a decent turbo capeable of flowing it. both will do the job. the neo's are just a little bit better with their solid lifters and GTR rods.

at lower boost around 16-18 with lower power levels around 250ish do you think there would be much difference then?

not heaps... from all the work ive done on neo's and non neo's... the neo's prove to have more punch in the midrange.

EG: a neo with a HKS GTRS vrs a non neo with same turbo kit.. the neo has a bit more torque and earlier on in the midrange then the non neo. i would assume this is the flow charactoristics of the head

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
