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

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
