Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone that is knowledgable with the neo series rb25's can shed some light on this for me.

Im going to use my rb25de neo head on a rb30 conversion. I was intially going to change to valve springs since i was going to use a set of tomie pon cams (Duration: IN,EX 260 Lift: IN,EX 9.15mm) and after hearing all the people having trouble with r33 na heads with valves floating because of soft springs i thought it was a good idea. Anyway. i've since been lead to believe that unlike the r33's, the neo head uses the same valve springs for both the na and turbo setup, with only the cams themselves being different, so im asking myself will springs be needed?? So how far have people taken the stock neo valve springs? The 9.15 lift of the cams shouldnt be a problem, and the rpm limit will be at no more than 8000rpm so again that should be ok, but if i was running near on 1.8bar of boost with 500+awhp will the springs be upto the task?

Even if i wanted to stick some new valve springs in, im finding it hard to find springs for the neo head. The neo head as many of you know uses solid lifters, so the only springs i came across that might work at the r33 tomie spings rated to 10.25 lift but designed for solid lifter use. So im wondering if the springs are different between solid and hydrolic lifters, im wondering if r33 valve springs designed for solid lifter work with my setup?

:D

Performance Springs makes springs and retainers for NEO engine - I have them in my engine.

For the small outlay compared to the money you will be spending on the rest of the motor to make 500awhp - it isnt even worth considering whether to buy them or not.

cheers for the reply

i did a search and you recommended that mob in a few posts haha, which is good but a few people also said somethings that made me abit weary, I've still got about 6months up my sleeve before i start the build so i have a bit of time to sort it out. How much did they slug you for a set of springs if you dont mind me asking? I've seen anywhere from 300-600 for a set (tomie)

as soon as i sell my spare car i'll be msg you for some spool rods and cp pistons for the NEO :thumbsup:

I cant remember the price too be honest - maybe 300 - 400 for springs with the retainers to suit.

Depending on the comp ratio you are after, I can supply CP's and rods to suit the NEO with 30 bottom end.

Is this engine going in a R34GTFour ?

yep the gtfour :), i have a big lest of parts that i have written down to get, everything SHOULD slot in nicely. I'm getting a proengines 4wd adaptor, gt35r, already got the 6boost manifold, ported greddy copy plenum etc etc, the list is a long one :)

i'll definately be getting your rods and the low compression 8.2 CP pistons so with the less cc head that should bring it up to 9ish depending on hg (im waiting for you to do yours first to make sure its a-ok hahaha)

the only thing im uncertain on is the springs, i might give that mob a call this week and see what they can do.

:(

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not in any way a logical conclusion. Also, looking at those logs, I struggle to see how that much oil pressure can go away that fast unless you are sucking air into the pickup. Meanwhile the ECU voltage is chucking a huge wobbly which seems to be tied to the throttle position. 100% throttle results in decreasing voltage. It's a mess.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      So didn't get around to installing a manual oil pressure gauge and then decided to take the car for a cruisey drive to a cars and coffee and brought the laptop along with to get another log using more gears to see if its an oil pressure issue under acceleration or after. this log has 3 gears of WOT where as previous had 2 and the oil pressure dropped once on the brakes, and the same again happens here which is interesting as it shows it can hold oil pressure while under acceleration but once slowing or just the lower RPM after a pull pressure drops. I will be chucking a manual oil pressure gauge on to confirm but so far this makes me feel it is not an electrical issue. Something else i realised is the pressure sensor also is giving temperature information and the temp stays steady the whole time which makes me feel like the sensor itself is showing a true pressure reading.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
