Hi Gents

Long time no speak lol. I was wondering if the RB26 AWD sump and the RB25 Neo Stagea AWD sumps were the same? 

I totally understand that the diff ratios etc might be different. That doesn't matter though diff is being replaced.

Thanks

RB25 NEO AWD engines use a different bolt pattern on the sump than other AWD RB engines, the spacing and angle between two bolt holes near the input shaft area differ, measure them if looking at second hand sumps to ensure same as yours

The input shaft flange looks as if it might be a different length too ?, unsure about this.

Interesting. The casting is different (but interchangeable) for R34 RB26 because it used a physically larger crown wheel than could fit in the early model housings, not sure if that is what you are seeing here.....

No idea why the block bolt pattern is different though, I've never heard of any sump that wasn't interchangeable on the rb AWD block

I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again.

The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from

      I'm confirming the "2 way" Nismos can be converted to 1.5's very easily as you already described. It's well detailed in the manual. I can scan mine if you need, I think I still have it laying around somewhere.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Well, its worth noting that 450+ is probably enough to get you to church on time each Sunday already..... You mentioned cams, did you upgrade the valve springs as well? Factory ones will be well past their use case by now. And yes, the hydraulic lifters are likely to limit your usable rpms and AFAIK you need a (now rare and expensive) head swap to rb26 or even better rb25neo for that (to retain VCT) I don't think 4"/3.5" should be a restriction. What about the intake, do you have an upsized intercooler and what is the throttle body?

      I also second realdash. I have it on my head unit as a secondary cluster talking canbus with my ecu. Works great.

      Something like this -  You can buy the arms in different lengths too. The suction cup goes to the windscreen.

      I do have an adjustable exhaust cam gear but I always presumed these only lead to minor changes. I'll play around with it next week and report back. Also wouldn't advancing, not retarding shift that power down lower?  We played around with VCT last year and it made more power with it on until redline. I had read somewhere that this is often the case with short runner intakes like I'm running but I'll revisit this after adjusting my exhaust cam.  I have a 4" downpipe and 3.5" line with two open dumps. I'm thinking back pressure would only start to be an issue at 35+ psi. I often hear people state things like "oh my turbo really only wakes up past 30psi" which goes against everything I know about centrifugal compressors. Is there any actual logic to this?  Thanks for the help dose.
