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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
