I need to fit my timing belt which is the 152 teeth dayco belt but not sure how many teeth to count between my timing marks so its not out by a tooth or 2

Im pretty sure I came across this info a while ago but do you think I can find it when I need it :)

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated :)

Don't count.

Line the exhaust cam gear up on its mark.

Line the inlet cam gear up on its mark.

Line the crank up on its mark.

Put timing belt on.

Turn crank over twice.

Check marks.

If all marks still line up where they were originally, well done, job complete.

If they do not. Take timing belt off re align everything to their marks, start again putting belt on until after two turns of the crank, all of the timing marks line up.

This is the proper way to do them.

Sweet thanks, going out to the shed now to give it a go

I'm assuming most people do not install the tensioner spring and stopper, and manually tension the cam belt.

What sort of deflection is generally seen in the belt when tensioned?

I've done mine until it feels "right" but what is generally achieved by those doing their own?

what i have found is the tensioner spring, does not work properly with the new stud location as per this SAU rb30 guide. the spring stud is in the wrong position to load the spring properly. is anyone using a different spring to achieve the correct install or drilling a new hole in the back of the tensioner housing?

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      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.
