Hey guys i have a series 2 RB25DET with a cracked ringland and cylinder scoring in cyl 6. Head is all ready and prepped,so now i just need a new bottom end. looking at a neo engine to use. are the bottom ends the same? Will a series 2 head go on with no dramas or is it best idea to just convert to the whole neo?

Excuse my nubness on this matter.

Cheers in advance.

Thanks mate

If i were to put a neo in my 33 what complications would i run into? I would be using my series 2 RB25DET manual box. would the ecu run the r33 dash and everything else?

Or am i able to use my series 2 loom and ecu?

You need the Neo's ECU to run the engine. I know nothing about S2 dashes (is there anything strange in there that relies on somethign special from the ECU? I expect not.) but would not expect any huge hassles. Tacho outputs are simple. Your gearbox will work fine. You may well need to rewire a number of plugs on the engine loom (I have to for Neo into my R32 - but they may be the same between R33s and R34s, I just don't know). Find a workshop who has done it before and it should be trivial - unless you want to do it all yourself.

If yours is a late series 2 with the palstic cam angle sensor then the motor should go straight in. May need to change the injector plugs

Nah its a December 95 series 1.5. So,close to one of the youngest series 2 engines.

then pop a 1k wrecker s1/2 rb25 inthere and use the good head for the 30 build...

1k you reckon? Hmmm.

Would be a good idea but no 30DETT i have built will have a 25 head or a big single :D

yuo can adapt the R33 loom to run the Neo. Roll's did a similar thing.

all the RB;s from 20/25/26 can be adapted to run any RB loom. just takes some work and swapping of sensors and plugs to match the ECU.

idealy tho.. use the neo loom and neo ECu and then get a nistune on the 34 ECU... win

I'd be looking through aftermarket piston catalogs to find out what the dish volume is like compared to an R33 RB25DETs and if they are same or very similar go for it .

If all your R33s sensors interchange in the R34 block I don't see negatives , the positives are younger and potentially fresher pistons/rings/bearings depending on mileage .

As was suggested a cheap RB30 with fresh rings bearings and a hone could be cheaper again , just need some welding on the heads face and its off anyway . Done carefully it may not cost much more than a "runner" RB25 .

actually an r32 with r32 loom, but yeah apart from that exactly as you said, just a few r33 bits thrown in.

actually TPS was the only thing that had to be changed.

      RB26 block, rb26 head

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
