Here in the US we had one making ~436rwkw before the owner decided to use 87octane fuel :D .

I'd like to know more about the ring lands. The neo doesn't have the same pistons as the r33. We know the problem with the r33 was it has comparatively small ringlands. I wish there was a pic comparing the two.

I'm pretty sure there is a difference in dyno reading between USA and Aus too, I remmember seeing something on a Supra forum about it. The numbers were 10-20% higher in USA

I've tried to find something concrete about this (because I was bored). Do you recall if it was a calibration issue or are "US HP" a slightly different unit? Some interesting history here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

I think I finally found the info. Supraforums search function is borked so its taken awhile ;)

Duncan, is this what you are refering to? Its attributed to Todd Wilkes and would seem to be a calibration issue:

Recent dyno figures from the united states have been indicating that American engines produce more power easier than the same engine in Australia. This is in fact not the case because of recent information that has confirmed my long term belief that the Australian dyno dynamics chassis dynos are giving lower horsepower readings than the American DynoJet chassis dynos. The difference between readings is approximately 15%. Using the following example its easy to see why.

We will use flywheel horsepower as our base line and assume our engine has made 560 Horsepower on an engine dyno.

American engine builders i talk to typically have used 12-15% as a drive train loss figure because they use the DynoJet chassis dyno. And using our 560 flywheel hp figure would expect around 476 Rear wheel hp on a DynoJet chassis dyno in the USA. The problem i had with this was that my first supercharged 355 Holden engine did produce 560 flywheel hp on and engine dyno but when i put it on a Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno at summernats 12 it only produced 389 rear wheel hp! So that would indicate a 27% drive train loss taking into account the higher altitude in Canberra compared to Brisbane where i achieved the 560 flywheel hp. I decided to Email the dyno shop in the USA who had both Dyno Dynamics and Dyno Jet dynos and found that they at one stage used the same car on both dynos to see what difference there was. They agreed with my calculations which indicated that their dyno readings were apprixmately 15% higher than ours and then went on to say that they have calibrated their Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno using a 1.15 error correction factor which brings its readings up higher to equal their DynoJet chassis dyno readings!

OK so finally you can rest assured that Australian engines do produce the same power that the American engines have been.

And the cars are 10%-20% faster over here too. Kinda weird isn't it. :P

I don't know why is when you guys see a high power figure out of an RB25 your feathers seem to get a bit ruffled. WE all know RB25's can NOT sustain this power in the long run. These engine are play toys to us and are NOT daily drivers for most of us.

IF you go into that RB failure thread it's quite easy to see that most failures are to due to: Poor Tuning and even NO tuning.

Or prehaps all of you are right and this massive turbo was all show

I also have a video of it and the owner claimed he ran a 11.9@121 with a small turbo and less power. I but it's all a lie anyway. :P

Has anyone experience a Ring land failure on a NEO with a proper tune? Are there any high powered Neo's in AUS?

Any pics of the NEO piston?

thanks :P

neo pistons have a differant pin height. pretty sure the same as prior 25s

the turbo is tiny, just has a moronic wank bell mouth

That's a Turbonetics T66. IF you think that's small I don't know what to say to you.

I expect this sort of ignorance and arrogance on american forums. I never knew I'd see that here.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
