It's most likely a 25, has vct and alloy cas, only 20 neo has vct but would have plastic cas 

Okay guess what I found the block print has RB25 on it stupid f**ks literally has orange over spray on it it has a VCT Drain…so that rules out a neo

You might be able to find the engine number (if about it hasn't been painted over....) the prefix should be rb25 or rb20

Gave  a nice look has RB25 but had orange spray over it and block is stamped 

“JAPAN” 75T which I’ve searched and it’s an rb25det block and no igniter on coil pack soo am I safe to assume it’s a S2 RB25DET..with a RB26 Intake plenum? I’ll be going for a plazmaman or a diff intake plenum kit suited for an rb25det can that give me a headache? If I leave the 26 on? Can that be the reason it’s running shit I’m happy to pay $$ for information on building it properly with a nice aeroflow 6262 .84 T4 turbo (either 50mm wastegate or 2x44mm wastegate 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was planning on forging the rods / pistons / tomei valve springs , Cams , e85 / flex  respray the whole car and a Rocket Bunny kit and a nice set of coilovers, link ecu? Or are there better ones for cheaper that can handle what I want & I heard these motors are good stock to push 400-500hp? Unless I read wrong  (But the way these retards painted it I think it’s safer to build the motor ground up as I want to run the 5-600hp mark figure 

Re trying to identify what it might (or might not be) a bit better, can you post up some good clear pics of the plenum and where it is bolted to the throttles/intake manifold/whatever is there.

An rb26 inlet manifold does not bolt straight onto an rb25 head due to different port placement/shapes, so there is either some sort of adapter plate, or it is a 26 head

Most likely it's tuning related.

That plenum is fine, moving to a Plazmaman you won't notice much of a difference.

If you want supreme low down, better off with the stock intake manifold & plenum OR the Rajab top half.

A Precision or Turbosmart 6262 is too big for what you want, and big boost with Tomei Valve springs also a fail.

You can make 373kW on a stock motor with just head studs, sensible timing in the mid range and it will last for your intended purposes (won't last on the track for too long).

To me it just looks like an rb25 Freddy plenum.

Yes I Was reading that up, some places are doing those adapter / weld on ones, and blitz ones are out of production im totally unsure but I have definitely just uploaded pics hope this helps thanks

Is a Freddy a fake Greddy?

It is, and you do. Everything points at it being a series 2 non NEO rb25. Of course, unknown internals so you don't know how hard you can push the setup.  If you can get hold of a borescope you could check the top of the pistons for stock or aftermarket markings, but that still won't tell you want rods you have which is arguably more important for  higher power

Yeah ofc, as the car sat for a while I have no problems just going to buy a whole new pistons , rods , cams etc

Sorry when you mean I do, do you mean I’ve got a Freddy one?

Fake GReddy = Freddy

Don't waste your money, money better spent on good engine management, modern injectors, drive by wire (so you can delete all that cable throttle, idle control valve junk).

No no no im

not going to buy that junk I was assuming that’s what’s on the motor I would love a forward facing plenum, maybe a plenum for rb25det and a 90mm throttle body

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
