I have been told that it is possible to use GTR cams on a NEO. Similar solid lifters although can not use any lift higher then approx 9.5mm. Im planing to go down this route couple with adj cam gears. May sound like a silly question but could i then use the RB26 clear cam cover?

more to the point... if i disable vct, can i completley remove the vct solenoid off the inlet wheel? Will be using tomei poncams 260 and adj inlet and ex cam gears. I want to dress up my engnine and use a rb26 clear cam cover..

cheers

only way you can use that clear cover is if you get the backing plate to bolt it too. It also wouldnt look very good in my opinion without the rb26 valve covers too. But they do look a hell of a lot better!!!!! The valve covers bolt right up.

Cant anwser your question about the vct tho. I know the cams can go in but not sure about the vct wheel on the cam itself. I think they seal differently from the 25 and 26 cam shaft but I havnt dont that modification so best to call that workshop thats done it many times posted above.

finally got around the prob with my cam choice. Will use GTR tomei poncam 260 and disable VCT. This way i can remove the hud off the stock inlet cam gear. Will the rb26 clear cam cover then bolt onto the NEO? Or will i still need GTR rocker covers????

Don't forget that GTR's have the 6 throttle valve inlet system so they can and do get away with greater valve overlap without the choppy reversion characteristics . So between having virtually zero inlet communication at idle and low turbine inlet pressure from the twin parallel turbos they can get away with longer duration cams and the extra overlap to help them scavange .

A Neo RB25 with its single turbo (greater average turbine inlet pressure) and single throttle plenum inlet manifold may not take very kindly to GTR cams .

Your call , cheers A .

thanks for the heads up....interesting food for thought...Brad from spool imports is using GTR cams for his NEO 25/30 and from the looks of his dyno graph....great results. Some 508rwhp on a low 20 psi TO4Z....I would think depending on the duration, lift and adj cam gears, this may have attributed to his success??? From memory his were 272/9.35mm

  • 3 weeks later...
i was told from my workshop that the NEO head has only 12 solid lifters. I have a spare NEO head and was also told that abit of cost is involved in getting the spare 12 on.

Best you find a better workshop........The NEO definately has 24 solids !

The inlet lifters are a little different to the exhaust lifters, but they are both solids.

cheers

ok just out of interest you can put a full set of 26 covers on your 25?

just get the backing plate for the cam gear cover and it should all work?

Yes that is what i have been told and i hope that is correct becasue i have just purchased a set for $395. On another note there was a misunderstanding between the workshop. NEO do have 24 solid lifters although 12 are steel and the other 12 are aluminium and the inlet and exhaust are different . My goal is to combine the other spare 12 steel onto the same head. What modifications is neccasary??? eg: inlet lifters into exhaust and vice versa?

They are too different. The valves and springs would have to be different lengths. I am looking at the two of them right now. The exhaust valves seem to be shorter or perhaps recessed further into the head.

Yeah the 26 covers fit onto the 25's. I've seen it done before.

really huh? Sounds major....The head is getting sent to enginering once my cams arrive. i hope there is a possible way around it and not have cost sky rocket at the same time. Is there anything even wrong with aluminum lifters anyway? It has a rb30 bottom end reving to 8k rpm max although power goal is 650rwhp...

cheers

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
