Well, in the specific case of that car, because it is a DET Neo, the bloody great traction control motor & throttle on the crossover pipe is the main giveaway.

In general;

The plenums are different shapes. Neo is more "square". Little detail differences like location of coolant bleeders, type of IACV, etc.

There's an ECU boost sensor on the top/rear of the motor on Neos.

Injectors are top feed.

Turbos have OP6 housings, but of course this is easily changed.

The ECU is a bloody big giveaway if it is still in the car too. Part numbers don't really lie.

In this scenario it's clearly a Neo. I would love to see how this is done in a scenario where all you get is the block and head bolted together with no peripherals at all which is obviously a bit of a bigger concern when buying a 2nd hand motor...

i can help you identify by seeing a picture :) but a very easy way is that the neo's timing belt cover is plastic. people often say if the CAS is plastic its a neo BUT its not true because very late model series 2  and the ultra rare series 3's  cam with plastic CAS hitachi ones too

It's worse than that. There's a whole niche of late Stageas with engines that are about half-half vanilla and neo and I don't know what's inside them (ie, do they have the RB26 rods and N1 oil pump? Do they have the solid lifter head?).

I get this, but what if you only have the motor? I.e there is no IACV, no manifolds, no coilpacks, no coilpack cover, and you can't pull a rocker cover off to confirm (i.e buying online or something).

I do not have a RB anymore but I always was curious about this, if the timing cover is plastic on a Neo, is it metal on a RB25 from a R33 then?

Neo doesn't have the front head oil return from vct and vct solenoid is different.

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)

      Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance

      Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
