Neo's are decent, but it would be an added pain in the ass, Your plazmaman wont bolt up nor will your injectors, they run less duration and more lift plus dual stage vct, so it will most likely cock up your tune. That said better piston/ring land and combustion chamber design with lower comp and of course solid lifters makes them pretty reliable especially if you ran it on R33 electrics and on an R33 76deg thermostat but still you're paying a fair amount for an unopened second hand motor generally with unknown history. I'd go a stocker cheapo 33 or a basic built motor (hint, hint) for sure.

It's going to need a retune regardless if he put the same engine in. The engine is dead from detonation = tune needs adjusting. Engine swaps and tunes are like new girlfriends just because your pecker is the same doesn't mean she will take it the same way.

The inlet stud pattern is the same. So the r33 inlet plus plazman and injectors will swap strait over. Can't see any negatives. Not to sure they are lower compression either. Higher if anything.

Looks like we could do a group buy on engines at the moment. Mine is not so healthy after today. :(

Yeah neo is 9.5:1 and s2 rb25det is 9:1.

That's sad about your motor damo :( why'd you do it for?

And yes. If i got a new motor I'd have the tune looked at. While all the engines are equal, some are more equal than the others.

Plus it was the fuel filter clogging up that cooked it, not the tune.

Just stick a 33 25 in it nowelly. Just get one that has healthy comp and obviously one that has as much stock stuff still attached as possible that doesn't look like its been just put back on. Put your sump on it and cam covers and with the money you save buy a accusump setup if you want a extra fail safe. Keep it at 7500 and love life. And from what I can see, and from what you have told me, that motor build/tune is shithouse. Woeful. Oil problems from day dot, then that. Compared to say rusty's car, which he took in, had the motor pulled, built, put back in and tuned to similar power as yours and has been drifted and daily driven for years now and the bill was about 7k or something and has yet to put a spanner to it. Edit, just saw the fuel filter thing, still, undiscovered Amazonian tribes knew you'd have oil dramas with no restrictors and a good sump etc.

My bad, for some reason I just thought they had less comp, my R33 RB25's have always registered ~ 160psi accoss the board with my forged 8.5:1 being flat 150, then my R34 neo wavered at ~ 145-150 so it must have just been quite tired :P.

Google does say 9.5, the manuals don't state the comp though, and interesting (or lazy of them) their compression test, limit and variation are the same on the neo and normal rb25 :/.

Yeah I found out the problem with the tune, there was some stray wires behind the dash shorting out making it forget things! That was really annoying and had me paranoid the whole time.

Stock R33 RB25DET is on the cars.

Unless someone has a head, pistons, rings and bearings for sale?

Or maybe just a head, I've got a couple of 30 blocks lying around here.... (strokes beard)

That's one of the plans Rusty, just get a stock\mild RB25 and throw my turbo\supporting bits on it, just get back out there and start skidding again before the car\project gets stagnant.

Hey Zoid, I bought a full RB25 motor inc loom, ecu, ancillaries etc. for around $1700 to my door 12 months ago from these guys on the mainland Fuji Auto Centre, perfect condition engine, has been running flawlessly for prob 15,000ks now. The guy to speak to is steve, they get crates from Japan quite often and are awesome to deal with, most of their stock will be on here http://stores.ebay.com.au/fuji-autocentre but give them a bell on 0397615203 to see what they have.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
