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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
