To my knowledge-

All heads are the same. There are two different part numbers but they've superceded to the latter one now, no visible differences I've noticed between my R32 and 33 heads compared with my brand new R34 part number head.

I believe the only difference in the cams is that the R34 has a different drive for the cam sensor (and different sensor obviously).

Inlet manifolds are slightly different on the R32 compared to 33 and 34 (not sure what but something to do with water pipes).

Supposedly 34 exhaust manifolds are slightly better flowing than 32 or 33.

As I say that's to my knowledge but there may be other things. At the end of the day you can put any head on any block and make it work with minor mods.

Just choose the right cams to suit your cam angle sensor.

the difference is cams, I believe ( but could be wrong ) the cam timing is different and the keyway for the cas is different as already stated

FWIW the manifolds look identical to me, I have both 32 and 34 here

Just double check you are searching the entire forums - and not just this section which is drivetrain and transmission. If it's anywhere it will be in the sub-forum "Forced Induction Performance".

ie. This thread is in the wrong section.

      Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
