My engine is still going strong! 11000kms on over 350kw now :D

man those R34 NEO motors are built like german nazi tanks lol

it seems like it's more economical to drop in a R34 NEO motor if a R33 RB25DET motor ever carks it

They tend to hold together pretty well! Ill admit mine has had a hard life too! Its been overheated (Well got warm but Haltech shut it down) and also had a LOT of fuel dramas which caused all sorts of bad AFRs early days... I try to keep it off the limiter but it still gets spun to just over 8000rpm when up it haha

Sick effort. Mines close to getting on the rollers. Patience is running thin though

It gets like that! Itll all be worth it on that first drive though ;)

Funny thing is I'm the one doing all the work. Just a matter of putting in the effort after working all day on shitbox cars (skoda). Sometimes all you wana do is sit on the couch and not move lol. Will be tuned within the month though

I would like to be able to say the same. But i give mine a fairly hard time. Seen 2 track days and lots of limiter, although mine is set at 7450 from memory not 8000 haha.

Even driving it very hard, no blowby AT ALL! or any oil/fluid leaks, just running the standard nissan setup. ie linked rocker covers and then a hose to the intake after the AFM.

The thing i am most impressed with is its off boost driveability though, it is insane! Put your foot down in any gear and it just accelerates, even crusing at 100 in 5th, half throttle and it just accelerates to 120 easily all while off boost!

I am certainly very impressed with the NEO!

Unfortunately mines dropped cylinder 5 :( flaming mongrel!! Im not sure what caused it, had plenty of vacuum leak drama from the plenum in past year and an accidental overboost of 25psi in third, all cylinders 155-160 and number 5 is 60..goes upto 200 with some oil squirted in.

rebore and forgies n rings or drop a stocky? thoughts?

I thoughtyou sold your 33? You building another or same but different way? Id throw pistons and rods at it but all depends on your power goal and what you wish to do with it.

that was the plan, but then discovered the dropped cylinder and now thinking ill just have another crack at it, will be a 300kw and ethanol , keep it very simple this time with a 0.63internal rear

forgies...and 500kws...:P

Yes and no, depends on your powergoal. You've got Matty spinning up 390kW on a dead stock motor and it also gets punished. I've sbeen how he drives it lol

So why spend thousands when a drop in NEO will cost you half the price of a basic engine rebuild?

Just my thought.

I have 2 mates that had 300rwkw 25's for the same time I did, one drivin like mine, the other PUNISHED. both of theirs were built motors from very well reputed workshops, and both of them are on their 3rd motor now. while mine was on it's second when I sold it

with these power figures its a lottery either way, so i'd just got another stocker personally.

car is dedicated E85, its a big decision, having thoughts of running a higher comp ratio of mid to high 9s, gt3076 with .63 rear internal, goal is driving on streets and drags with reducing lag and making it feel very punchy on the street. 300-320kw max

stocker- solid from factory but still old and 155av comps..

rebuild- new pistons/rings ( possibly forged) and have 180-200 comp = more grunt and earlier boost for the streets

much simpler to just drop stocker in though and maybe shave a bit off head, don't want to overcomplicate stuff

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
