This has most likely been asked before, but is there a actual difference in the rb25det, and rb25det neo heads.

I have asked a few people and they all say " not sure, think its to do with vvt" but no one is 100% sure.

Ony asking as I have cracked my rb25det neo head, and im having trouble finding a replacement.

And if anyone know where I could get 1 would be real good.. cheers

Yes .

There are definitely differences. You need a neo head.

Solid lifters. Different cams. Different cas. Smaller combustion chamber. Different vct actuator and method of actuation.

No oil drain at the front of the head for vct with neo head. Different coils. Different ports (slightly) probably different valves.

Same gaskets and spark plugs . If that helps.

The stock rad has plastic pipe fittings on it, and it cracked as I was driving on the freeway. It was the top one, so before the water temp, so did not notice a change in temp. Lost water and warped and cracked the head. rest of engine is fine

Now im trying to find a replacement head.

I knew the valves were different and cams, but was not sure weather a normal rb25det head would fit, like the head block etc

A non neo head will fit. It will bolt straight on. The gasket is the same.

Then your car will have crazy low compression and probably oil issues to the head, as I forgot to mention the neo has smaller restrictors in the block as the neo head needs less oil.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
