new to the RB engine series and skyline scene, my question is in regards to the RB25DET engines, I don't know if both of these are considered NEO version. I have attached two pictures, my question is what is the arrow pointed to in each pictures ? and why are they different from pic to pic if both engines are RB25DET. if so which would be correct from a R34 98 skyline gtt? thank you

no idea on the ecu #, these are just pictured I goggled to show the differences by the intake, which you refer to as traction control... so the cylinder shaped casting has traction control and the other doesn't? or different generations/version of traction control? so either could have been used in a rwd R34 98 skyline 2 door that came with the rb25det?

...maybe one of these/version was originally from a Nissan STAGEA?

or something to do with being from a 4wd or rwd version?

there are lots of variations over the 20 odd years these were made. I guess the question is why exactly do you need to know, or are you just interested?

the short blocks/ bottom ends are pretty much the same, heads were different between original and NEO, sump is different between 2wd and 4wd (since 4wd has a diff in it), and various external bits like CAS, ignitors/coils, turbo changed between years and models too.

The key difference in the NEO for aftermarket use is the improvements in the head which made them flow better and also better starting point for modifications.

This.

Traction control with 2wd no traction control with 4wd.  No telling what car they came out of but ecu number (if original) would tell the story.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
