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.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
