Also this might be wrong but I see a lot more blown up rb26s than I do rb25s, could this be due to the higher rpm limit?

this is more to do with the RB26 usually being strapped into a GTR that has 4wd and can generate more sideways g forces than a similarly specked RWD car...

car is running high revs on track, and oil is all up in the head with the sump running low.... 4wd GTR comes out of a corner HARD @ 8000 revs and the slight amount of oil remaining in the sump is thrown to the side and misses the pickup. car gets no oil @ 8000 rpm = bang

RWD car does same thing but doesn't grip as hard an oil does not get thrown as hard and does not miss the pickup, hence RB25 stays alive

So how do the AWD block RB25s neo and non neo differ from the RB26? Many of the Stagea blocks I've seen have interchangeable sump and sump parts with the Rb26.

stag motor is a 25 head on a 26 block/sump setup with all 25 internals....

i just put one into my 33 gtst

Never seen a high powered 25 neo out of Japland.........just sayin

and?

theres plenty here in aust.

Mercury motorsports 700 rwhp stock bottom end neo in VC commo for one thing. however unsure how hard it gets driven.

then theres mine... pushing far more power then stock and gets driven hard at as many track days as possible.

bump for this tid bit

None, all the technology in the RB26 head is present in the Neo head. Valve/port angle etc. The only benefit the 26 head has is more readily available parts

i have owned 2 R33's, one with S1 engine and the other a S2 engine. when i hit 5500RPM(ish) i get a big kick onwards in torque. i have also driven a NEO RB25DET several times, it feels completely different to drive(obviously because of the constantly variable VCT as opposed to on/off VCT) and has no kick whatsoever. just a much smoother rev range all the way through. can also verify another mate feels the same way about his 34 and notices the difference when he drives his mates sil80 with a 33 RB25DET installed. is this kick coming from vct coming on or off?

also iirc:NEO uses GTR connecting rods to compensate for the smaller combustion chamber.

the neo is a smoother engine to drive. you can thank ECU tuning, the intake runner differences and the turbo differences for that.

fair enough. do not like. i prefer driving a 33 over a 34.

the kick at 5500 is just the standard map in the ecu, at any airflow higher than stock its rich and retarded everywhere on boost but especially around the midrange, sometimes the changes in individual cells are so big its like flicking a switch as you described.

vct is on/off as said. neo just has it activated over a slightly different rev range from memory.

neo does use gtr rods but its nothing to do with the chamber size, they're the same length as 33 rb25 rods. the smaller chamber is allowed for in the pistons.

I wish someone would prove conclusively that Neo chambers were smaller because I've never seen anything to show it .

I know that on some later/last versions of some engines manufacturers went to long reach spark plugs so they could improve cooling galleries around the chambers , do Neos use different style plugs to R33 RB25DETs ?

Anyway I gather Neos use the same sized valves and if pistons are same/similar the static CR must rise if the chamber volumes are less .

What truly gives ?

A .

im pretty sure neo's use same plugs. i use BCPR6ES's in mine anyway.

im with you.. not all that convinced that the chamber is smaller... maybe a slightly different size

As far as I knew it was only the lean-burn RB20's that were marginally smaller (also a redesigned shape)

The pistons are different so this should account for the same static comp but different chamber volumes.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
