Neo Rb25det Engines

[subliminal]

Hey all,

I'm looking at buying a Stagea, and I was told that there are two different versions of the NEO RB25DET found in Series 2 Stageas. The newer models (00+), seem to have silver writing on the engine cover, whereas the older Series 2's have Red writing. Heres a couple pics to illustrate what I mean..

Compare this to..

I was told the silver one has different turbos to the one with red writing.. can anyone confirm this? And shed more light on what exactly the difference is? I'd never noticed it before until looking more specifically into these cars, but its potentially worth noting.

Cheers.

i THINK it might be the difference between Series 1 and 2 relative to the R34. By that i mean, the first Stagea's were around at the tail end of the R33, then they got the NEO of the R34, and the silver one could be the Series II of the R34.

There was slightly more torque with the series II R34 cars, but 99.9% sure there is no turbo difference.

I think the only slight difference is torque

the cover with the red writing is the earlier model and afaik it uses a nylon compressor wheel whereas the later ones had metal.
