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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
