RB25Neo/30

A bit stuck, done a search but just confusing the f**k out of me. 

Got an RB25Neo/30 in my R32. Using the rb20 loom, got a coil conversion loom and rewired the injectors. 

When it comes to the ECU, what can I actually run? From what I have worked out there is a GTRLink that I can use as it's the same ecu plug. 

Found a Vipec V88 for a neo, that won't plug in though will it? How do I get around this as it's a good price.

 

cheers.

Hi mate

you only have 2 sort of easy choices here.

1. Remove the loom, and install a RB25 NEO loom to run with the Neo Vipec.
2. Get a GTRLink / Vipec. These fit all GTR models, and the R32 and R33 GTS-T. 

Any other way will only be a huge bitch.

You could get yourself a brand new wiring specialties Neo harness. Would cost about $1k but then you have a new loom. 

Personally, since later model Neos have fairly new looms in then, just grab a factory one of those nice and cheap

When you say get a GTRLink/Vipec which Vipec is this that will work?

Vipec and Link are the same thing / same hardware. Vipec is actually gone now, absorbed back into Link. 

Vipec "V" series = Link G4
Vipec "i" series = Link G4+

You want the model of vipec or link that fits the GTR. It also fits the RB20. (It's a one ECU fits all)

The GTRLink / GTRVipec fits everything except for the Neo as that has a different plug.

Damn this one fits a neo, that's a no go.

 

Thanks heaps mate.

There is no RB25 Nistune so if you have an RB20 Nistune that will work although it will not control your VCT.

If you get a Neo ecu and loom you can get a GTT  LinkECU to put inside the Neo case which would be ideal...it can control your VCT and with a solenoid better control boost.

I have the same dilemma with a rb20de cefiro. It's auto and I want to keep it auto. Can I use a link rb26rb20 plugin? Do they have a built-in map sensor to do away with afm?

I don't know where the auto ecu is on your cefiro. If it is in the main engine ecu then no you will not be able to use the GTR Link. Why don't you get a wire in Link instead and yes you can use a map sensor with it.

Do you know how to find out? Will it be in the same location behind kick panel where main ecu is? 

I have an rb25 det manual loom and ECU, should I fit that and get a manual valve body for the auto to do away with the auto electrics? Then I could fit a plugin ECU .

I'm running a 2530 neo in my r32 gts4, basically had to do a small amount of soldering for tps and idle valve and coil harness. Add in a wire for vct
Can use pretty much any plug in ecu for r33 r32 gtst or gtr. Some need an injector pin swaped around and if using GTr or 32 gtst ecu need a way to control vct, so rpm window switch or if using an r32 gtst nistune then use the feature pack and it let's you control it like stock
I use an adaptronic select on mine personally.

      I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
