Hi all , as some know I'm interested in using top feed EV14 injectors in an R33 spec RB25DET and if at all possible using an OE R34 GTt fuel rail .

I have a couple of pics of Neo GTt rails but one has me a bit confused . The first shows the FPR up the front where the secont one has it mounted to a different separate section I've not seen before . It's a little hard to see but I think the user mounted one of those barb adapters in the usual FPR mount and has it now on the other bit . Can anyone used to playing with GTt rails see whats going on ? Also are all Neo fuel rails the same on Skylines and Stageas ?

Cheers Adrian .

Now really confused . I was looking for more pics and came across this thread which just happens to have pics of a Neo 25 in the FPR area .

Am I looking at two FPRs because the two gadgets that look like them both have what looks like vacuum lines , do Neos have two rail outlets and regs to avoid boiling issues ?

Cheers A .

There is only one FPR, the other one is a dampener I am fairly sure. No idea why they have vac lines going to the dampeners though. The VQ25det runs a very similar setup as the 34 neo's, other than being twin rails.

Here is a screenshot from Nissan FAST of an RB25 NEO fuel rail setup, sorry for the shitty text but i was on a laptop and had to use the trackpad, but hey it works. I suspect i have a problem with my fuel rail as the hose that links the barb on the rear of the rail is not there to link it to the barb in the middle of the rail, will provide pictures tomorrow night.

On my Neo I don't think I have either of the fuel dampers at all? The fuel regulator is there but I cannot see any dampers. Would I still be fine to leave the dampers out, I don't think that aftermarket fuel rails have dampers so I'm thinking I should be fine to use it? For reference I am running a Walbro 400lph running straight off the battery.

Also in the second picture you can see the fuel line comes straight off the barb at the rear of the rail and runs down through the plenum runners. Shouldn't this run to the front of the rail and connect up :/ slightly confused about it all. Might have to take the top of the plenum off and have a look, don't really want to though.

I managed to buy a Neo Turbo fuel rail yesterday so when I get SKs spare manifold and the injectors and colars I can make some progress .

I'm told R34 era Stagea engines and bits are more common here than R34 GTt parts which is handy .

Slightly OT but someone at JJ was telling me that Neo's are different to earlier RB25s in the cam change hydraulics , if someone was to plonk a Neo head on an earlier RB25 block are mods needed aside from pistons and comp ratios ? Only reason I ask is because if I ever had to rebuild my engine I'd consider using the later rods pistons and the Neo top end and inlet manifold - Neo wearing std engine number basically .

Cheers A .

Okay i managed to get my car to a point where i tried to start it. I had the fuel feed attatched to the barb underneath the regulator in the first picture, and the return coming off the barb at the rear of the fuel rail as seen in the second pic. The car would crank fine but refused to start, it ran on start ya bastard but would die as soon as i stopped spraying. Fuel pump was audibly priming and i was getting spark no worries, just didnt even sound like it was trying to start.

So i swapped the fuel lines around (feed to rear of rail, return to the front barb under the regulator) and it now starts and idles fine. Have i got the fuel lines on backwards? I really feel that i have but im not 100% sure, and would it even run if i did have them backwards? Or would the fuel pressure just be as much as the Walbro 400l/ph pump could generate?

Any help/feedback would be appreciated. Will get a pic tomorrow night.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
