The block might be the same but the rods pistons and heads are definitely different. It has proved difficult for people to get the correct forged pistons for the neo - they are usually not available off the shelf and have to be made hence a long lead time.You may find that your cr is in excess of 10:1 and the shape of the piston crown is not suitable. Did you compare the pistons you put in with the ones you pulled out?

Did you buy neo pistons? From what I've seen while looking for pistons for my neo is the pistons are nowhere near the same shape to an rb25 non neo.

You can get cp neo pistons on eBay for $800ish delivered.

it is for non neo, but my mechanic bought the r34 block which he believed it to be the same.

What i bought was for non neo cp pistion with 9.0:1CP and Manley Rod. the rod lenght of rb25 and 26 are the same? because on the box it says rb26.

From what I read, NEOs run RB26 rods but not pistons.

OK, just to clear it, i've got r33 gtst, my rod (number 1 let go about 2 months ago and i have bought all the part for rebuild. My mechanic has r34 gtt block, i use his bottom block with my non neo head. I was told that the block is both the same. Is the crank for the neo and non neo (rb25det not neo) the same?

when putting one of the piston and rod in the top edge of the piston is about 1mm above the surface of the block (head gasket is not installed yet). is sthis normal? should the top edge of the piston sitting flush with the block surface?

look like i will need to buy the r33 block. can anyone else comfirm?

thanks all

I'm not too sure about that. Find an experienced RB engine builder and ask. You may be able to get away with thicker gaskets but find someone who has done it.

The rb25 blocks should all be the same. The rb26 block was a bit higher from memory.

The main diff between the r33 and 34 engines is the head, pistons and rods.

Rods were same length all round from 26 to 25 but the pistons were totally different. The rb25 and 26 had same pistons with a taller deck while the rb25 neo had special valve cutouts and was shorter. If you used r33 pistons in a r34 the valves will hit the pistons.

Yep but he's apparently using the R33 head.

Wrong pistons??

Measure pin heights etc and compare to catoglue data. ignore what the box says.

R33 and R34 blocks are the same height/stroke

Rods are the same length in R33 rb25 and R34 rb25 and rb26

The difference is the CC of the heads, R33 are about 62 and Neo is 51-52CC's

Hence the difference in piston crowns (and maybe pin height)

without the head fitted the piston is sitting about 1mm above deck. If r34 block and crank are the same as r33 then the piston is wrong. But looking at the CP spec and having consult with CP people they confirm that they have the same compression height. this is what they said

"CP Pistons said that the valve reliefs are the same for both the 8.5:1CR and 9.0:1CR pistons. They say they design the pistons to accept high lift and +1.0mm oversized valves. Neo piston is different to non neo, the main different being compression height."

I have also post this in the Force Induction Performance section. seem like i still have no answer, I'm totally confused. :unsure:

Yeah but have you got the right pistons? As Darrin says never mind what it says on the box actually measure the distance from the pin to the crown (compression height) . Ask CP what it should be for the R33 piston and what it should be for the Neo piston and establish for sure that you have the right pistons.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
