I recently bought a s13 and have been wanting to do a 25neo swap. I live in the us so neo motors are a rarity and the only place I can find them are from those sketchy canadians up north. And from them who knows what your gonna get. I can find r33 25's all day even in the states for a little extra but I dont know the potential I would be missing out on. I've heard a lot of good things about the neo besides the price of clutches and was wondering your thoughts. From what I here if anyone would know about these motors it would be you guys.

well, for starters, I'm pretty sure the NEO's are fitted with RB26 rods from the factory so that would make them stronger.

They are also 9.3:1 Compression as opposed to the 9:1 compression of the R33 RB25

I've read they also have solid lifters and the vvt as apposed to the r33's but I was wondering if any body has pushed them and if they really mad more reliable power than the r33's.

The NEO tends to make more power for the same amount of mods better breathing due to head package). They are both as reliable as each other but the Neos' tend to have lower mileage which helps.

interesting, can anyone back this up?

Also consider the availability of aftermarket turbo kits and ECU's (ie Power FC). Mods for the 33 are more readily available and cheaper than for the 34. NB: PFC are discontinued for RB25's

turbo kits from R33 fit perfect on R34, i do it all the time with the trust kits.

Bloody net dropping out!!!!!

Here we go, I'll retype again...

NVCS is only on one cam.

They run narrow body injectors

Stock turbo is weaker when boosted due to nylon comp wheel, ceramic exhaust wheel like r33

Mate Ben has R34 GT-T

Stock engine

tomei poncams 260

800cc inj

044

fuel reg

z32

power fc

front mount

plazma man plenum

T04Z

363RWKW @22 psi Z32 starting to max out.

He has a built RB30 bottom end to swap in due to nos system he intends to use with setup, no bull.

The way I look at it is that it makes a bit more grunt in factory trim so that can't be a bad thing . The electronics running it are a bit more advanced so if you can get control of those then its tighter controls IMO .

I think the non hydraulic buckets are a bonus and will open up your choice of cam profiles . If you really want to I'm sure there are ways to get larger injectors into them .

Also don't write off RB26's if you can get them for reasonable money , a few people have used those in the US .

Further O/T . If I was over there I'd be doing a killer KA24DE-T because there are so many parts available for them and they are std (DE) in a USDM S14 anyway . I guess its a case of how much your prepared to pay to be different . I don't remember the exact cc figures for both KA24 and RB25 but there's probably only 100cc's in it if that .

Cheers A .

And an extra 2 cylinders bobbing away in the RB? Surley that counts for something?

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
