Little bit late "2days" but i saw the engine.
Mechanic will send the head to "machine" shop for testing but after a long inspection himself he do not see any damage on head/valves or whole cylinder head(no cracks or anything like that)...even head gasket is ok.
Block and piston(s) are in great condition and he was very suprised how the engine looked(very clean/undamaged) (engine has 210k Km)

So after my Q WTF is wrong then...he thinks one of the valves do not close properly...He still need to look at the camshafts and everything "above" but it seem this "could" be something minor...

On the other hand...one part gone wrong kinda bad 😄

This part(as seen on photos) gone bad....the whole section where water comes in is destroyed..."corroded" away...

So here is the question on that part...it seems that from factory there was "metal" pipe stuck into the housing and THAT "melt" away?
Or does anyone know if it is how we think it is? Cuz everything around is ok...only that "something" corroded away completely.
We will try to weld some pipe if we can...cuz this part alone costs around 1200 USD and that is before taxes/shipping...and god know if they even had this in stock and in the reasonable time.

@Hendry: i hope we can too but on RB25DE/T this part is different ...in RB20DE NEO it "splits" into two parts...on others the manifold is one part...and that "corroed" part looks different too.
But i saw some pictures of it and it looks like there was some metal pipe too...s-l1600.jpg

This picture is from RB25DET NEO and looks little bit different but yeah...100% metal pipe...mine is/was the same it should be easy to repair 🙂

And this is part from RB20DE NEO...metal pipe too 🙂 


On the other hand my mechanic discovers that on 99,9% problem is exhaust valve on cyl 5. (both of them)
They leaking fluid...but the head is OK so tomorrow we send it to a machine shop to check if the valves could be machined or if we need to order some new ones.

But so far it is looking "good" 🙂

Are you okay getting parts from Japan at the moment? My local post office won't let me send anything to the UK currently due to the Ukraine situation. DHL, etc seem to be okay but the prices are well.. unenticing. 

Sorry for later reply. 
Yeah i ordered many things from Japan(JP Parts) and some from Dubai and everything was ok...
JP Parts are EXTREMELY quick...like 4 days from payment i got my stuff...yeah they are little bit expensive but i dont mind...iam happy that they have the parts 🙂 

But yeah iam using DHL...our local post office sucks hard 😄

It looks like those are very common problems on these NEOs. My water pipe sleeve was also moderately corroded but I can still keep using it. You can just pull it out and have a standard sleeve with a lip machined, or just look for any pipe you have laying around that would be a snug fit, but certainly would need to have a lip at the end so the hose can seal well.

Also when i took apart my RB20 Neo I also noticed ALL of the exhaust valves and their seats were very pitted, whereas the intake valves looked spotless. This is a very low mileage motor, mind you (I am guessing less than 60k km). I ended up lapping all the valves and polishing the chambers to give it more flow since I will be turbocharging.

Also, can you link exactly which JP parts store website you are referencing? I want to avoid Amayama also as I just saw they have 60-90 day delivery times which is insane. I am almost ready to assemble my engine, I will be updating my build journal with it so keep an eye out if you want to see more about the 20 Neo :)

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
