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

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!

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
