hi, hope it hasnt been covered before (cowers) simple question, can r33 rb25detpistons be used with a r34 neo head? ive noticed that the r34 pistons have valve reliefs so im bit concerned about piston to valve clearence and an increase in compression? thoughts? comments ? (no nasty ones please)

thanks guys, youve given me a bit to think about

. . picked up a 34det neo dirt cheap and (also havea 33 bottom end) it has a damaged #3 cylinder and just working out my options for using what i got

it had swallowed a small bolt which made it run on 5 and the guy who owned the car drove it for three months like that. .

Use the Neo bottom end. Buy pistons. Sell R33 stuff to someone else. Profit.

wildo that , originally was told number 3 was dead and was (possible detonation damage) cos the owner was running it on 91 ulp

owner needs shooting as this motor still has factory hone marks on the bores

if anyone here has some low k (stock size) 34 pistons in good condition please pm me as the internals of this motor are in otherwise mint condition and wouldnt take much to get it going again

Neos use RB26 rods, which are a different length to older 25 rods (I'm pretty sure....).

Nope.

RB25 non NEO and NEO and RB26 share the same con rod length.

NEO uses the same 'stronger' rod as the 26 though.

OP - I have a full set of 34 NEO pistons and rods in excellent nic for sale, unless Simon still wants them?

kitto beat me to it.

neo rods same length as non neo. As is the pin height on the pistons. in fact the neo piston and non neo piston share all the same dimensions but the neo piston has more cooling passages under it where oil is squirted. its probably lighter also but need to weigh some to confirm.

the difference in compression is all in the head.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
