Injector loom modified, injectors fitted, splitfire coilpacks fitted & engine loom wiring in progress...5947b1ec03160_enginewiring.thumb.jpg.f8cefb44982d82e0f6b0358dd8aa012e.jpg

 

Ditched the thermofans as they weren't really keeping temperatures under control, back to engine fan but a bit too close for my liking...

Have purchased GKTech engine fan which supposedly is thinner & more efficient (win-win) - on its way....

Dummy-fit the top intake manifold & Neo engine cover to see how it will all look. So far so good! Couple of hoses on their way from Japan to finish the intake plumbing...

Hopefully finish-off the wiring by next weekend & get the car ready for some intercooler, intake pipe & dump/front exhaust fabrication!

Loving the progress, making me lean more and more to doing a neo rather than a standard RB25! you had any real difficulties with the wiring so far? or has it all been pretty straight forward?

Wiring still in progress but a lot trickier than a s1 rb25 motor.

The neo loom has so many plugs for TCS, ABS, Sensors, Headlights, etc so its been slow progress to work out which to keep & which to cut.
So far, Ive worked out that the rb20 ecu grabs ignition voltage near the plug at the airbox and its a matter of wiring this to the brown eccs/ign relay & another pin on the ECU.
Im trying to make sure aircon, power steering, hicas, wipers & all dash switches/sensors work with the Neo so am tracing each wire to each plug and working through it slowly.

The Knock subloom on the r32 is separate and connects into the rb20 engine loom; whereas the Neo knock loom is integrated into the Alternator subloom; still working out best way to connect into the Neo loom.

Working on all the little-bits to make the car go...

Time to flex!

Nothing beats new parts...replacing the coolant lines.

Tailshaft shortened, balanced & fitted.

Replaced the 30mm Turbo spacer with a 20mm spacer, much  better fitment now, hopefully the dump/front clear the aircon lines now...

With a 7ltr ASR extended sump, means more oil - bought enough for two changes & gearbox oil to suitoils.thumb.jpg.6e066d3e750d15669343cb30b8c2ae10.jpg

 

Hopefully next week we will be in a stage to fire-up and see if my wiring has been done right!

What compression pistons?

 

Specifications
Part Number: SC7297, 14028-6
Make: Nissan
Engine(s): RB25DET NEO
Year(s): 1998-2002
Piston Material: 2618 Aluminum
Bore Size: 86.50mm
Compression Ratio: 9.0:1 CR
Connecting Rod Material: 4340 Forged Steel
Connecting Rod Length: 121.50mm
Compression Height: 1.220"

Wiring loom finally sorted and Nistune + flex board soldered in.
Despite AFM plugged in, larger injectors on a stock map and no intake pipe connected, the engine cranked & started!

Car will be towed to fabricator and tuner on Monday, hopefully have a running car this Friday if all goes to plan :)

Some fantastic work done by Havoc Fabrication, their attention to detail, care and professionalism is above all else. Thanks to their workshop for tackling this mammoth of a job.

  • Custom stainless steel intercooler piping with zero holes cut
  • Custom stainless steel intake pipe from z32 airbox
  • Custom stainless steel dump & front pipe with another cheeky o2 bung for wideband sensor/tuning

A couple of wiring gremlins to sort out last minute but the car is ready for run-in tuning this Monday :D

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.
    • Tow a boat... people won't know wtf is going on 🤣 
    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
