Hey guys,

I have an R34 GT-4 and i've wanted to turbo it from day one. At first I was going to go down the route of slapping DET parts onto my DE Neo, but have looked into it and it appears it will be probably cheaper for me to just put an engine complete in it.

Basically I have been offered an engine at a good price and it's fairly local. It's an RB25DET from an R33. So it's not a Neo. And it would be going into an R34.

Is there anything I should know before comiting to it? I know the Neo system is better for fuel and pulls more power, but the power from the DET still out weighs that.

Whats my best option for bang for buck.

Neo all the way. Older engine not technically legal into later manufactured chassis anyway, so you will have some difficulty getting it through your local department of motor vehicles arsehole-fest.

And you need to consider that you will have a much easier job wiring it if you get an engine from an R34 (ie most connectors will be the same). And you have an AWD sump, yeah? So you'd be looking for a Neo Stagea motor as your best option. And then there's the brake upgrade, etc etc.

TBH depending how much power you want will determine what decision you go with.

First off, don't go backwards.... just don't do it.

If your looking in the stock turbo power range, DE+T... cheap and easy, stock DET ecu, injectors etc.

If your looking low to mid 200's and not a lot of track work, DE+T... just add more comprehensive management and fuel system.

Anything much past high 200's or a lot of track work start looking at an engine/trans swap. As suggested above, a s2 stagea NEO rb25det is the best value for money.

Cheers

Justin

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
