^^^ Yes.

They are ANCIENT cars, so rebuilding/replacing stuff is fairly cheap. I had a hiflowed T25 (watercooled lol) on my old N12 ET, and it saw 2 bar on more than one occasion...

They're great fun for a little while, but the torque steer and zero street cred get on your nerves pretty quickly.

Yeah just chuck out the T2 and put on a T25G or a T28. I had a highflowed T25 on my N12 ET and it saw 20psi every day and 24 a couple of times.

Like Rezz said... monster torque steer, a set of 17s helped me heaps though.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
