hey guys

im in the works of planning a 25/34 build to go into my 34 GTT, im sourcing parts prices etc but one thing that im questioning is the neo head. Ive built a 25/30 for my 32 using a 33 series 2 head which i got the water gallery welded, and a external oil feed for the lifters is the neo head requiring the same work? im sure the water gallery has to be welded but is there anything different between a neo head opposed to the 33 head that needs to be addressed for this conversion??

thanks

would it be worth using a 33 series 2 head? i assume the majority of the 34 wiring harness is the same as the 33?

i had a 25/30 in my 32 originally had a 25 in it, and when i got it tuned the tuners said it had a 34 wiring harness

34 head is far better, just allow for the 34 when choosing pistons etc.

what do you mean by allow for the 34?

What Jonathon said - the Neo head has a smaller combustion chamber than the R33 so you need to take that into account when calculating your compression ratio. Should be fine with the extra capacity of the 3.4 block - Neo is the superior head. Look forward to seeing the result!

The lifters will be fine. Just use the correct oil restrictors. We converted our r33 s2 head to solids and I made two 1.1mm restrictors using m8 grub screws. Has worked fine so far. This is on a spool rb34 stroker also.

As they said already you just need to cc your chambers and get the pistons to suit so your compression doesnt go sky high. Otherwise no worries!

Be prepared for a nice fat torque and power curve. From our old rb30 our whole power curve moved to the left by a good 1000rpm and we picked up something like 160hp more through the midrange. Makes the car so much nicer to drive.

what is the approximate additional cost in block prep to fit the 34 crank in? the spool site mentions there is some minor modifications required to make it fit.

i'm looking at a 26/34 conversion into my 32 GTR down the track (when i get the $$ for it) was weighing up a 2.8 stroker but leaning towards going all out with the 34 since im more looking at low end torque and dont want to wait till 4.5k rpm for boost.

ahhh ok that makes sense im getting a spool kit for my build, out of curiosity what did you set your compression ratio at?

thinking of using a JUN pump

Mine is a bargain basement build with stock pistons resulting in about 8.2:1 CR :/

As yours will be fully forged etc something well north of 9:1 or even more if you are going to run E85 would be good!

I have an N1 pump but don't limiter bash and have 7000 max rpm.

Jun sounds good - Tomei may be better but people swear by Nitto pumps - no experience of them myself!!

The pictures on their site show a small amount ground away for the extra clearance needed for the 3.4 - looks like a very small job - less than 15min labour.

Go the 34 - I want to see more results!!

spool RB32 don't need any clearance and unlike the nitto RB32 stroker the spool on is a 3.2l

spool RB32 don't need any clearance

So? The extra capacity of the 3.4 comes from a longer stroke. Longer stroke means a larger diameter crank, which naturally needs more room to spin around.... What's your point?

was just saying some people don't like machining the block for Clearance as it weakness the block a bit Edited by MRHD66

It will be interesting to see more results, I've only ever come across the spool s15 dyno graph. It's a good thing. Is there any other 3.4L results you guy know of?

I like the idea of the 3.4, considering its really the same cost as going 2.8 from a rb26, obviously exept the mods to fit an rb 30 in your car.

What rpm are you looking to turn this to?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
