Need some input on my Neo build and ITB's

Hi all,

I have done a bit of reading but nothing quite definitive has come of it so I have a few questions to ask to the more experiences fellows out there.

Long story short is.. I am wanting to build up a forged Neo motor on the side with rb26 itb's. I am in no rush as my current motor in my R34 GT-T is just fine (touch wood) so I do have time on my side and I will be doing all the work myself, i have built a few motors before but no rb's yet, this will be my first RB build.

I am really liking the combo of solid head + vct + itb combo so I am trying to determine the most effective and sensible way of doing it.

First question I have is.. Are R33 and R34 blocks the same? I have bought a mint R33 s2 short motor for really cheap which I plan to put 34 neo forged pistons and rods into, a long with a neo head.

Is there any issue with this or are the blocks identical once pistons and rods are taken out of the equation?

Second question, if i want to run ITB's, has anyone had success with an adaptor plate to fit rb26 itbs? Where are they sourced from these days?

As for the turbo side of things, I am leaning towards a gtx3076 on ethanol but I will concentrate on that later.

I am fairly certain RB25 vanilla/neo blocks are identical.

Otaku garage sells adapter plates for RB26 plenum onto RB20/25. I just purchased one last week and am waiting on it to be delivered. Can post back with pics of it once I receive it.

With a 25 head though the VCT solenoid needs to be relocated. Check Forge Performance on Facebook, they sell a nice looking adapter kit.

If I were building an ITB RB engine other than a 26, I would not use RB26 TBs.  They are old, they are famously annoying to get to seal, often requiring a great deal of stuffing around to get them working properly.  Given that you have to go to the expense of buying ITBs and an adapter plate, and then possibly having a leaky piece of shit that won't work until it has emotionally broken you, I can't see the sense in not looking for an alternative using new off the shelf TBs.  I would be thinking of DCOE pattern TBs as a first option, or if the sizing is not helpful, looking at 6 separate TBs.  The only hassle here is linkages and synchronisers, but these are generally available from the same people that make the TBs anyway.

My bro-in-law did this to a 2JZ-GE using TBs from a 20V 4A-GE.  Looks proper good.

Thanks mate, I have added them on FB and found the adaptor kit! Pretty well priced.

Haha I know where you are coming from, I used to own an R33 GT-R and I made the mistake of cleaning the TB's in the process of installing my PFC DJ ecu and was stuck with 1100rpm idle when I put it all back together.

A bit of tomei throttle paint did the trick though. Honestly If I can get my hands on an itb set for around 300 bucks with the plenum, it makes it very feasible.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
