Finally leaving this group... Unfortunately not the way i wanted too lol

My stock NEO is finally tired, but it has copped a beating as a dedicated track car for the past 2 years so it was self inflicted!

Engine ran over 300kw, just shy of 400kw at times since 2011 and was daily driven up until 2015ish... Since then its been thrashed on track for more events than i can remember! Engine still runs and does everything as it should, its just pushing oil on track so time for a new build!

Stock NEO's FTW :cool:

Me too :(

I have a new motor, it is unfortunately built lol

I blew (well Phil did) cylinders 1/5/6. Smashed a bunch of ring lands, filled the sump with metal, destroyed the head, and destroyed a fairly new turbo. Same as Matt, plenty of abuse and anti-lag launches LOL

That was my thoughts, and at about $1200 AUD landed, its worth a shot.  Not sure on timing, but knowing my tuner it wouldnt be anything crazy. Because of the EWG spring drama, its not building boost like it should, and its dropping 2-3 psi upto. So once i have that sorted i think driveability will be much improved. When it is on boost, its very punchy and the spool noise is pure jizz

I just noticed your post and I'm keen to see more of your setup and results so far as I was looking at the S252SX-E for my RB20 with VTC as well. Do you have any more pics of the mods done to the housing ? Did you change the spring in the gate to improve the spool ?

RB20 with VCT? Talk to me about it haha. You using an RB20 Neo from a 34 or retrofitting VCT?

Nope i just retrofitted intake camshaft and pulley from an S1 RB25 on my RB20 (coming from a R32). I drilled and taped the camshaft cap to install some kind of banjo fitting through the cam cover in the cap , a solenoid and then back to the head through the cam cover again. The solenoid is operated via the nistune ECU. It looks sketchy but it's working and not leaking so far.
I'll give some pics for you if you're interested.

Are you able to let us know the condition of the motor once its pulled down.

Would be interesting to know if a set of rings and bearings would freshen it up.

I wont be pulling it down, but can ask the question to see what condition it was in... I am going to say well worn though :laugh:

Overall condition was pretty good mate! Nothing sinister really! Just tired!

I've just joined the club!

mods: RB25DET NEO, Hypergear OP6 .86 Exhaust housing, Splitfire coilpacks, 044 Fuel Pump (460 Walbro ready to go in), 1000cc xSpurts, Nistune, Garage 7 IPC, 38mm Turbosmart ultragate External (Off stock manifold), 3" exhaust, FMIC, Aeroflow fuel lines

fuel: E85

power: 330RwKW on 20Psi

oil: ULX110 10w40

useage: Weekender

lifespan: Only had it for a few weeks but it was tuned almost a year ago

failure: Nil

comments: Definitely want a garret and aftermarket manifold to increase boost response and some Tomei camshafts but other than that this is way too much power for a street R32 haha

You could just swap the op6 housing for a 21u housing, will be all in full boost at around 3500rpm and only lose 15-20kw. Another option, upgrade the bearings in the turbo to ceramic ball bearing. Both of these options will be relatively cheap and make a reasonable improvement.

 

Otherwise a gtx3076 gen2 on a 6 boost will sound tits. Wouldn't bother with the cams, not required.

Well, poncams are generally crap.  And they will NOT give you the response increase you're looking for.  Just the opposite, in fact.

Ah i thought tomei was well received with RB stuff, knew they were unpopular with toyota because they snapped a lot.

 

Also found out my turbo is actually an ATR43SS2 .82

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
