RB25DET Neo into a R33 Gtst with 33 box

Hey Guys, My mate and I have just finished converting his R33 GTST to a RB25 Det Neo, so I thought Id doc the process and what we used of each car

Block, head, sump is all Neo

Inlet manifold is s1 with a cut n shut top half including throttlebody

exhaust manifold is aftermarket from the s1

enginemounts, we used the R33 ones but neo are the same

alternator, power steer, A/C are all s1 including the brackets

thermostat housing we used the 33 s1 part so we could use the same bottom hose but if u use the neo housing then just use a neo bottom hose

coilpacks we used the s1 packs as their only a few months old but they do not fit in the head valley so we made a bracket and mounted them elsewhere

 

WIRING CHANGES

vct plug needs swapping to a neo one or EV1 injector plug I beleive is the same

CAS wires need to be swaped...ie 1234 becomes 4321

thats it....because we used r33 stuff everything else stayed the same

 

pics to come

Just for the record does anyone know if the VCT switch/valve is the same R33/R34 - aside from the electrical connection ?

Just may save some work if its a simple swap .

From the above I gather the coil and injector loom plugs are the same R33 to R34 .

 

Cheers A .

Na we originally looked at pics in a few parts catalogs amd they look quite different. Our tuner also confirmed their not interchangable.. i just went to my local wreakers and snipped an injector plug of an old pulsar that had a dammaged harness (i dont like cutting plugs of a harness someone could use one day but if its Already munted then snip away). I wired it in leaving the old plug just incase but we wont go back to non-neo so the old one could have been cut off

Did the R34 injector sub loom plug into the R33 main harness . I know the coil one does .
Cheers A .

We used the inlet manifold, injecters and harness of the 33 so we minimised and wiring issues. I think my mates still got the neo inlet manny so we should be able to check the plugs

I used the R34 intake mani, had adaptor plate made for the iac stuff, throttle body vacumn channel welded up.  Theres a vacumn line from underneath that needs an extra fitting tapped into the neo plenum. The  top feed rail is obviously a bonus and the plenum gasket is better than the r33 one.

We already had an aftermarket top feed rail. So there was no great advantage we could see to running the 34 plenum given the extra work involved in using the 34 one.. which plenum gasket is better in the 34? The one between the two halfs or manny to head?. Did your injector harness plug straight into the 33 harness?

Neos are more efficient and definatly stronger than a s1 25. Ringlands, oil pump issues have been fixed (im sure neo arent perfect but better than the old ones). Were suspecting thr neo block is lighter as the car seems to sit a tad higher amd seems lighter in the steering. But thats pretty subjective...hopeing to get her on the rollers monday to get some numbers

Well the old girls been dyno'd. seems we lost 40kw peak power but gained 40kw through the mid range. A bit disapointing but the extra mid range will make up for it in driveability. not sure why weve lost peak power as on paper we should have gained. compression is 150 across all 6 (dry and warm). Ive heard people say (since building it) the neo has slightly a slightly different intake diamiter so were planing on doing some measurements and maybe swapping the lower half of the intake to a neo and matching the cut n shut 33 top half and see what that does

Definitely not fixed at all, oil pump engagement still to small with poor clearances still lots of failures just not as common as a slightly newer car

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
