I've got some pics of the white one from WTAC a few years back, pretty sure it had bonnet spacers and looked odd.... But put out good power.... With the amount you can get out of a stock NEO with the right bolt ons kind of makes most builds seem a waste.... When mine pops I'll put another NEO in for less than $2k and go again :)

OP - what are you trying to achieve? NEO motor is a good piece of kit. RB26 might not be the best way to spend your time and money.

What i want to look at building a motor for is to eventually turn the car more into a track car than a daily drive and just the hobby of building a motor :happy:

but what sort of power can you get out of a 25 opened/ unopened safely vs the 26

i want to have a motor that i can give it a thrashing without having to worry all the time about breaking things.

what are your ideas on the 2 motors and what they are capable of, i mean you are going to know alot more than me im only new to the skyline scene and just trying to bead in the right direction haha.

thanks guys any info is appreciated and taken on board

Hey all,

I live around Newcastle and im new to the skyline scene and looking to establish a relationship with a good tuner to get any work done, get the car tuned etc and all round know alot about skylines,

any ideas and experiences would be great.

Cheers,

James

Hi James, I can see you're new. Going over your topics, they have been done to death... Do us all a favour and SEARCH!

My stock NEO is making perfect power for track, drift, drag or whatever you want to throw at it.... It's near undrivable on full boost, at the end of the day the NEO can out power the driver if done right.....

but what sort of power can you get out of a 25 opened/ unopened safely vs the 26

NEO has the same strong rods as the RB26. Crank is never a problem, so the only diff in bottom end strength is pistons, but i dont know how they compare. NEO also has solid cams, so while 26s are a decent step up from early 25s, you cant say the same with NEO vs 26.

alot of effort for an extra 44cc or whatever it is and a slighty better flowing head

Eh, I don't really know if the RB26 goes better than the NEO head.

Let's face it, unless you really want Twin turbos and ITBs, there is no reason to ditch the NEO in favour of the 26.

I have heard the Neo has the highest flowing head out of all the RB engines.

ITB's on the 26 are cool though!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
