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

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
