Hi everyone

i have a r33 rolling shell missing engine, gearbox and harness. I have just purchased a r34 crashed with the neo mtor. Now i have been doing research but i am wanting to use the R34 harness in the 33. Can someone please give me some guidance as alot of the threads are bit all over the place.

also can and aftermarket plenum from the older 25 go onto a neo head, they have the same intake manifold gasket, any help in regarding this conversion will be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at my thread, mine is running but with all S2 R33 wiring. There's a bit of work needed to splice the 34 engine loom into the 33 body loom. 33 wiring was the easiest option.

Yeah, can run aftermarket inlet manifold for non-Neo RB25's on the Neo.

Um....you have no loom in the R33. The only sensible option is to use the R34 loom. With the engine out you can make the various changes more easily. You might want to buy an R33 loom to be able to obtain some of the plugs.

i got no problem buying another loom im just curious to which is the easiest way as a few guys have different opinions i just wanna know whats involved for both

I did Neo into R32. The Neo loom went in, having had all the mods done on the bench beforehand. Sure, I got a guy who knows what needs to be done to make all the mods, but you could do the same.

yes im thinking of doing myself just not 100% on the wiring

Here's my thread. Was easier for me since I already had the engine loom. Didn't consider splicing the looms because I couldn't find any info regarding wiring so just stuck the with R33 engine loom.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
