So RB25 NEO runs 370cc top feed injectors.

My silly question - will 720 denso top feed from my R32 GTR fit in my NEO.

Will the fuel rail and/or FPR need changing? Fuel pump ??

Experienced with my GTR new to upgrades on the 34GTT - go easy..

No. RB25 Neo injectors are the new 3/4 length ones. The rail from your RB26 probably won't be able to be bolted on to hold down the 720s, even if the injectors will physically fit in the holes (I don't know the relevant diameters). The FPR/damper setup on Neos is a bit more complicated than on the older engines (although it really just comes down to fuel in at one end and fuel out at the regulator end, so you can always find a way to set up any given rail and reg) so that will make it a bit more confusing.

Lastly, std R34 fuel pump is probably not big enough to support 720s. But that really does depend on the power level you're actually shooting for. Fair to say though that if you're doing any mods for power, then a new pump is a must anyway.

Thank you GTSboy - Can I press you for some more info. Maybe PM if better

My OP6 turbo exhaust wheel seized recently. Sent it off to ATS in Adelaide for a high flow with garret CHRA. Should be 2871 equivalent.

I have an aftermarket FMIC, K+N pod filter, Splitfires. and 3" exhaust. Stock ECU. Boost controller plugged up.

Not looking for to much power as it's an Auto and my daily Tokyo taxi. But looking to take advantage of the extra kws (safe levels).

Not sure to fit and leave alone as is with a 12psi actuator or add some parts.

Was 170 RWKWS. Happy to have anywhere between 200-250.

Recommendations?

12 psi stands a chance of R&R type misbehaviour. Right now I have my Neo (standard turbo) wound up to just shy of 12psi....probably just over 11 psi really. Last weekend I was experimenting with my boost controller (after a repair to it) and had the boost peaking just over 12 psi. The car was not running well up there. Whereas it will rev smoothly with a little less boost, it was getting rough when I had it slightly higher. I think that was R&R.

My ECU has Nistune in it but it is running the standard maps right now (until I can get around to getting it on the dyno). I know for a fact a few things. They are;

1) the standard fuel map runs out of load scale at 160,

2) at my current <12 psi boost setting the load (TP) is going up to about 185, which is well off the top of the map,

3) the last 5 or 6 load columns of the standard maps, from about 4000 rpm upwards are ridiculously rich and retarded. (The timing map actually extends out to a load index of 208, so I am still on that map).

So given that I am not even operating on the actual fuel map - that it is just extrapolating the fueling values from the last column, and the timing out in that part of the map is pretty much single figures, it's not hard to see that R&R is almost a dead certainty. It is also using a LOT more fuel with the boost turned up like this, because the fueling is so rich (and the extra power is addictive)

The point of all this? You won't be able to get good results just by highflowing (and or adding boost via a better actuator) because the ECU will get all emo over it. It is important to remember that with a highflow you will be moving more air at any given boost level than you would with the standard turbo. I am running at the limit of the standard ECU now, at 12psi, with the standard turbo.

So you will need to do something about management. Nistune is good, but it turns out that it can be a right pain in the arse to tune the R34 ECUs because they have a VE map which means that oxy feedback is switched on over the whole fuel map and there are vague calculations that go on in the background to determine if the ECU looks at the fuel map or the VE map to try to set the mixtures at any given time. I haven't actually tried to tune it yet, as I have said. But given that what I would want to achieve is leaner than stoich cruise mixtures, plus a general leaning off of the high load/rpm areas (just to claw back some power and economy), I may have some entertaining times ahead. I know people have done lots of R34 ECU tuning, so I'm not saying it's impossible...I'm just a little unsure how best to go about it. An aftermarket ECU would be easier to get the desired result. Nistune suits me though because it is nearly indistinguishable from stock. It's a tough call.

Anyway, to support your wished for power range (which your highflow will fall right into, should be getting up towards 250rwkW), you will need;

1) Metal turbo intake pipe. Stock one will suck shut,

2) ECU,

3) Fuel pump,

4) You may destroy the tranny if you give it a hard time. They can be toughened up, but at what cost/benefit ratio?

5) Sticky tyres are a good idea.

cheers

Signal benders are to be avoided at all costs.

If budget is a concern, preference goes to cheap, proper ECU solutions first. These would be Nistune, cheap 2nd hand PFC. Then next preference goes to cheapish aftermarket new ECUs like Adaptronic or Megasquirt. Then onwards and upwards from there through the Haltech, Link, Vipec, etc stuff to Motec and Autronic. And caviar and champagne of course.

sorry that should read...

buy a aftermarket exhaust system, then a turbotech bleed valve and boost your positive manifold pressure until the stock computer says uncle.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
