Question as per title pretty much. Car will be running -7's or something similar. Maybe Tomei 260 / 9.15 cams (then again - maybe not) - tuning via power fc of course.

Have heard that there is some magic to be achive by changing the shape of the combustion chambers? or am I just another casualty of hearsay....

Search SAU for "squish zone"

Off the top of my head, Its there to increase low speed charge turbulance, that promotes a more complete burn. The disadvantge is, that feature can lower the boundry of detonation when running high air flow rates (power).

JUN and others remove the area on some of their motors.

Searching should reveal more.

Based on what I have seen, the squish zone argument is more RPM than power related. The argument goes that if you are running 10,000 rpm or so, the squish zone are limited in their effect do to the time it takes for the air to move up the zone and the turbulance thus created. Keeping in mind the effect compression ratio and hence the piston crown shape has on the squish zones. I don't know the change over point, rpm wise, for removing the squish zones, certainly at 8,000 rpm we haven't found it necessary.

Keeping the above in mind, I would simply match the combustion chamber volumes and polish out any excessive roughness than can lead to hot spots and detonation. Porting of course is essential.

Only know enough to get me into trouble it seems :P

I would have the combution chambers modded proffesionally (someone who specialises in GTR engines) But curious if it is worth the time and money.

do you know what your doing?

if not theres your answer right there :D

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
