Hi there guys, I'm from Spain and i got an Euro S13 swapped with an rb25det neo coming from an skyline r34 gtt sinister with around 12.000 miles on it

The engine is a bit modded with an hybrid gt30 turbo with t25 housings spooling really fast, got a Freddy front face intake manifold rewelded with tig welder and Q45 throttle body, running a LINKecu G4 Plug-In as an electronic management system with 2.5bar map sensor and IAT, intake...exhaust...brakes...wheels...and other things that hasn't so much importance on this thread

The head and the bottom end are stock but im changing the timing belt with a full set of gates racing and i profit to get the head out and get fully checked and mounting a metallic 3 layer headgasket as im boosting at the limit of the stock headgasket 1.2bar and arp headstuds

Got an issue with the arp headstuds as the website show two kits for the rb25det, 202-4301 and 202-4309, emailed arp and they can't tell me what is the correct application for the rb25det neo and gaved me a calculator sheet like that to fill, my knowledge doesn't go too far to get this measurements and anyway i don't think that this will be necessary as many people run arps on his neo and dont think all those people has do this

Somebody can give me some light on this?

Thanks, cheers and sorry if my english isn't enough good

Are you just chasing sizing on the bolts to confirm they are for neo?

If thats the case, im suprised that ARP cant tell you. Perhaps getting in contact with an engine builder who does alot of RB engines can help

Otherwise you could probably just dummy fit the head with 2 studs in and see how they fit and make sure the nut has enough thread to clamp the head to the block

Also with the link G4, if you have a 2.5bar map sensor then it maxes out at 1.5bar of boost. Not sure if its an issue but keep in mind that the 2.5 bar is absolute pressure not gauge pressure

Didn't bought any studs yet, just asking arp for wich its the correct application for the neo, they told me to fill that measurements sheet and send back as the two kits are different length and not interchangeable, im surprised too that arp needs this measurements to tell me wich its the correct application and i can't take because my knowledge doesn't reach that level and i don't have the necessary precision tools to make this measurements

Your idea may work but buying the two kits like a dummy to see wich its the correct ones doesn't seems good for me not talking about the money waste

Just wanted to know if someone here has mounted arp headstuds in his neo engine to know wich ones has bought and if they worked fine

I know the map sensor its 2.5 absolute pressure and i just can boost to 1.5 as the map can't read more of that, im doing this because i was boosting 1.2 with stock headgasket and if im not wrong the limit on the stock headgasket its 1.2 and my idea its get it to 1.4

Thanks for answering and for your help

The stock headgasket and head bolts can take 1.5bar(21psi) pretty confortably as alot of people are still retaining the stock hg and bolts in there rb25 and neos so I wouldnt be very concerned about that.

Yuh, don't open the engine unless you have to. 300+ rwkW on an unopened Neo is easily doable.

Thanks for the replies, my rb its at this moment at 397hp on the flywheel and im looking for more, i'm gonna upload the dyno graphic when i get home for share it

i'll appreciate all your replies but none is helping me, can we focus on the arp headstuds issue? The head is out and being on the machine workshop at this moment so the replies telling me not to change the hg not to open the engine are useless anyway as i said i'll appreciate your replies

I'm 99.99 percent sure there is no difference between neo and non neo head bolts \ studs.

Looking at the 2 part numbers, the one ending in 9 has a slightly higher torque specified.

I would buy what ever is cheaper.

But I wouldn't. I reused my head bolts for my rb2530 with 295rwkw, so do whatever.

Thanks dude for such a good reply, that's so useful for me

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
