Rb25det Head Query

Hey guys,

I have a S1 R33 with a S1 RB25DET. Recently I did a compression test on it and it says low on compression. So I bought another 25 head which I plan to swap over.

However upon taking it to a Head Shop today, they have stated the head may be a NEO 25. On the exhaust side of this head it says 5L83 and I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm this is indeed a NEO?

Also, is this going to now not be compatible with my S1 RB25 block? Just because this new head is straight and in good condition.

Cheers for any help!

wouldn't it be easy to tell if its solid lifters or not ben?? they have smaller runners too don't they, wonder what the difference is there....

The runner size difference is minimal, unless its the na head, which is noticeably smaller.

The lifters are pretty obvious but the vct allen head grub screw rather than bolts and lack of vct oil drain on the side of the head is obvious from a distance.

Yes it is a NEO head. The coilpack bolts straight onto the head in the NEO as with the non NEO engines are mounted on a bracket which are then bolted on by 12mm bolts.

Correct. This is how I was able to tell.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
