I've been hearing that the Neo engines can only crank out around 240rwkw on stock internals due to compression setup...Surely this is a load of crap huh? Its the last of the RB25DET... Engineered to perfection. If any, it should be able to pump out more then the R33.. My aim is for 350wrhp on stock internals. Does having a oil cooler help with reliability or is it only for track? Also geting a head gasket to lower the comp help much either in terms of reliabilty?? Or is it only needed for extreme boost levels?

From what i have seen

they do have GTR style Rods in them as i have pulled one apart and compared the rods sizes between regular RB25 & RB26 ones.As for the buckets in the head i compared them to gtr ones i have sitting here and they look similar but the shims underneath are different and to me they have different length Valve Springs.As for the oil pump they look the same didnt take to much notice to the difference between them.

As for power

More Timing + More fuel = Big Power = good for drag racing

Less Timing - Less fuel = Average power = good for track use

I am making 540 hp now out of a regular rb25.Thread Max HP out of Rb25.I aint gonna go on to much but its all to do with tuning and sufficent intercooler ETC to make safe Reliable power out of the RB standard Motors.

Comp in the NEO motors is what holds them back.Your tuner will need to work around this

The power output of these engines are often a question of fuel quality.

Long duration cams will lower compression pressure.

Bigger turbos/exhausthousings will lower backpressure.

Very high peak power numbers are possible at high revs, because of the short

stroke and rodlength/stroke ratio.

500nm at 4000rpm gives 380hp.

500nm at 8000rpm gives 760hp. both with the same combustion pressure.

my answer is I don`t know the limits..

Ok then who wants to buy a few sets of NEO RB25 rods to Upgrade their R33 Rb25s?Their the same as R33s sorry.Did you see that the intake buckets are Alloy?

I suggest anyone doing an RB25 rebuild take you up on this offer. Not only do they look the same but I've had someone look up the part numbers for R34 RB26 and R34 RB25DET and the numbers are the same.

Also the R33 and R34 RB25DET's both have 9:1 compression ratio which can be a limiting factor in putting lots of boost into them.

Bass Junky has about 250rwkw without lowering the compression ratio but he does have cams as do I.

There doesn't seem to be many people succesfully putting a lot of boost into a NEO without cams or lowering the CR. I can't think of any offhand.

The NEO does have solid lifters as does the RB26 but they are not the same.

The NEO exhaust valves are 1mm bigger than the RB26 items. This could help get more power from the same or less boost all other things equal.

It seems to me that without lowering the CR the NEO can take about as much boost as a non NEO. Depends how far you want to push it, how good/consistant your fuel is, and how well tuned it is. The power levels are probably similar, perhaps a slight advantage to the NEO. If injectors aren't being changed the NEO ones are 350cc but earlier ones are 370cc. which could be a limiting factor.

Yeah, we ran into a brick wall at about 250rwkw.

We have pulled timing for the most part and dial in 2 degrees for a squirt every now and then.

The engine wouldn't take any more timing or boost. I'm running about 0.9 bar with Bp Ultimate.

260 degree cams.

If the answer to a bucket load more power is a hea gasket, I'll be wrapped.

Try some Shell Optimax Extreme 100 ron, dropped the knock from 70 to zero in the R33. No other changes. :mage:

We have had 305 rwkw out of an R34GTT. Tomei 260 Poncams, R33GTR intercooler, ported and polished cylinder head, standard head gasket (I don't use thick ones) and a Garret GT30. It wasn't all nice to drive, too peaky, lots of lag, poor throtle response. So we went back to 265 rwkw (GCG high flow) at 1.1 bar, much nicer to drive and ultimately faster point to point. With Extreme I reckon we could have got to 280 rwkw at 1.2 bar, which would be plenty.

:D cheers :)

im getting 291rwkw with 8.9:1compression.. and 20psi boost...

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
