Hi guys

After running a big end bearing on my R33 Series 2 25det I have sourced a rebuilt Neo 25det, will my manifolds fit the NEO head? As i have a front facing plenuim and a top mount GT30, LINK G3 so want to use my manifolds and loom on the neo head

Cheers Phil

Please any info would be helpful, as i have to travel 4 hrs to get this engine, Thanks Phil

I only recently went through this exercise with my fathers R33 series 1 engine which was replaced with a Neo engine. I bolted the intake manifold from the r33 onto the Neo but to do so I had to reuse the 2 studs a either end of the manifold as they are longer on the R33. I also used the thermostat housing from the R33 (larger diameter) but retained the R34 thermostat as it opens at about 82deg as opposed to 76degs on the R33.

You will also need to use the coilpacks, VCT and CAS from the R34 as these are not interchangeable. I had to repin the CAS plug to suit the R34 CAS and wire in a mating plug for the R34 VCT. I used an R33 intake manifold gasket.

I found the motor to be very smooth and great to drive.

thanks mate!! Whats the difference between the CAS, the Neo engine has the CAS are the plugs different to my loom? Do you have a wiring diagram that you used for the CAS conversion!

I am running wasted spark and using my inlet manifold and loom

Cheers Phil

The pins on the CAS sensors will be completely reversed. 1 to 4, 2 to 3, 3 to 2, 4 to 1.

Thank you winstonusmc.

The CAS on the R34 has a different locating piece to the R33 CAS so you cant just swap them over. Same goes for the VCT solenoid (refer photo in my first msg).

The R34 CAS does however share the same connecting plug to the R33.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
