I know the earlier models (R32 & R33) GTS can use the greddy plenum but on the R34 GT is completely different to the GTT.

has anyone ever attempted to fit a greddy plenum to a R34 GT RB25DE head?

if so, was it a direct fit & if not, what problems did you encounter?

as a r34 owner, you would all agree that the head design is a pain in the ass to do spark plug changes and overall makes the engine bay look so messy.

any help much appreciated :(

pics/links would be very helpful.

i've searched and only return results for R34 GTT & R33/32.

Trent from status, perhaps you may be able to shed some light on this.

Cheers

The head stud pattern is the same so it would bolt up just like a r33 rb25.

The only problem i see is that:

1. The manifold is designed for side feed injectors and you would need to run a fuel rail to suit top feed as above, easily fixed with same spacers.

2. The idle control is different on the r34 so you would need to run a r33 AAC set-up an wire it up accordingly (haven't hit this hurdle yet, but I will when I'm closer to the build). Don't expect it to be hard to figure it out though.

3. The neo de head apparently has much smaller ports (just going off photos I've seen, but I'm going to double check this when my engine comes out), so the manifold will be far from "port matched".

4. The shorter runner style of the greddy will reduce down low torque and is more suited to FI, unless you're planning on really reving the old girl hard. I dont know about yours but the only thing that the neo DE has going for it is the lower down low torque compared to the non-neo DE, and this would work against that. Hopefully it would add to abit more top end as mind just dies in the ass after 6k rpm but I don't see it helping that much as I think the stock cams hold it back aswell.

It does look a lot cleaner though, and the extra time you would save from spark plug changes would pay for itself :thumbsup:

thanks for the reply mate.

i also heard the neo rb25 has smaller ports too.. maybe bring out the grinder and give it a go? haha

my car is a de+t so its got better low end response already.

definitely worth looking into with abit of fiddling round, could work!

has anyone got a greddy style plenum that i can borrow for a day so i can see how much work is needed to fit?

will leave something of value so u know im not gonna run away with it lol

Depending on how long you can afford to have your car off the road, take the inlet manifold off and get a stock r33 inlet gasket and pop it on. You'll be able to see the difference in the ports from that.

From the pictures I've seen it looks more intensive then a die ginder job haha. I still can't believe its smaller than the turbo counterpart, the de and det heads on the r33's are exactly the same port wise I dont know why they would make them different on the 34's.

Failed? ill admit the na r34 is a slug but wat can you expect from a na 2.5L? In terms of intake runners or even exhaust manifold design nissan know what they are doing...

Yes and no. The neo head was designed to be more "emissions" friendly, so certain areas are leaning towards that and power/performance is sacrificed. Overall its not a bad engine, but I wouldnt say its much better than the r33 engine. If the ports are indeed as small as I've seen in the photos when compared to the DET head, then that would make it a big fail in my book.

Massive thread Necro but.. I am working on putting an R34 RB25de + T into an R32. I have a high mount T67 and just realised (ouch big fail) that due to the de throttle setup there is no clearance. If I went with a turbo manifold setup I would be fine. My thought was to split the plenum bottom half from the top, hoping (probably wishful thinking), that the runners expand?

Even if they don't maybe it would be possible to port the bottom half to match a turbo top half and a damn sight cheaper than porting the head.

Damn you nissan and your smaller runners on the RB25de NEO! :(

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
