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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
