Hi all..

Just wondering if I can use my neo pistons and rods in an r33 block with an r33 crank?? Not sure of series 1 or 2 if that helps..

My neo crankshaft has an overly flogged out keyway and my block has a crack from a water jacket to the head stud.. also has been decked twice so wouldn't bother repairing the crack and decking again..

Got the r33 bottem end free so want to make use of it if I can..

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Cheers

Wait, the 33 and 34 heads are different. The neos are smaller cc's right? So if you put 34 pistons on, the comp ratio would be really low on a 33 head right? But you have a neo head? You just want to know if the 33 block is the same as r34 yeah?

Most people reckon the blocks and cranks are the same but the rods are RB26 , so the pistons have to have larger diameter gudgeon pins and a lower crown to get the same CR with the smaller Neo chamber . IMO minimum changes to the R33 short are rods and pistons to run the Neo head .

Sorry, but I am going to be 'that guy' here.

So if I was to forge my neo, so I can run more boost, would I need to change the crank and rods? Obviously pistons are a must, but if I balance the crank, and the rods (if they are 26) should be pretty strong ay?

    • Say you've just laid all your filler and your about to start sanding, how large is the sanding block your using?  Like a high fill primer? Technically possible but would be a nightmare. Just guessing from the photo, but they look small enough that you might get away with using a 1k spot putty. Normally you'd use something like this on pinholes but with the type of project you're working on I'd give it a go.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
