Hi guys

After running a big end bearing on my R33 Series 2 25det I have sourced a rebuilt Neo 25det, will my manifolds fit the NEO head? As i have a front facing plenuim and a top mount GT30, LINK G3 so want to use my manifolds and loom on the neo head

Cheers Phil

Please any info would be helpful, as i have to travel 4 hrs to get this engine, Thanks Phil

I only recently went through this exercise with my fathers R33 series 1 engine which was replaced with a Neo engine. I bolted the intake manifold from the r33 onto the Neo but to do so I had to reuse the 2 studs a either end of the manifold as they are longer on the R33. I also used the thermostat housing from the R33 (larger diameter) but retained the R34 thermostat as it opens at about 82deg as opposed to 76degs on the R33.

You will also need to use the coilpacks, VCT and CAS from the R34 as these are not interchangeable. I had to repin the CAS plug to suit the R34 CAS and wire in a mating plug for the R34 VCT. I used an R33 intake manifold gasket.

I found the motor to be very smooth and great to drive.

thanks mate!! Whats the difference between the CAS, the Neo engine has the CAS are the plugs different to my loom? Do you have a wiring diagram that you used for the CAS conversion!

I am running wasted spark and using my inlet manifold and loom

Cheers Phil

The pins on the CAS sensors will be completely reversed. 1 to 4, 2 to 3, 3 to 2, 4 to 1.

Thank you winstonusmc.

The CAS on the R34 has a different locating piece to the R33 CAS so you cant just swap them over. Same goes for the VCT solenoid (refer photo in my first msg).

The R34 CAS does however share the same connecting plug to the R33.

    • It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified.  Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically. Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.
    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
