I currently have an R33 Rb25det in my R32 running all the R32 sensors and intake etc. Now it has blown up recently and I figured I might as well replace it with a NEO if I have to swap the motor out, now can I re use my rb20 intake, fuel rail, coilpacks, knock sensors etc all on the neo motor? or are there differences and they wont fit?

I realise there are threads on the differences but I thought this was a fairly specific example so was hoping you guys could help me out!

Thanks guys :)

it seems that you have done f**k all home work to even consider this.

Even a quick 30 second glance over the RB20 intake and RB25NEO intake shows they are very different, and definitely a poor choice. Maybe this is why your R33 blew up...

And what makes you think RB20 injectors and ECU is gonig to be enough for a RB25NEO?

I suggest you have a bit more of a think, rather than asking stupid questions here.

Woah relax mafia, I'm just asking some friendly questions, no need to be hostile. I realise the intakes are different which is the point of this thread, the question is do they bolt up to the same spots, eg will the R33 intake (and hence R32 as they are the same) bolt up to an R34 NEO motor? If they were the same I wouldn't be asking lol, this thread is my homework! I've done some searching but I still have no answers to these questions.

I have GTR injectors and R32 ecu with a nistune, they are fine for my 240kw R33 rb25det and I aim to make similar power on the NEO motor so the question is will the fuel rail bolt up the same or does the NEO intake have a completely different rail mount?

My 25det blew up because my cam shaft snapped causing the valves to smash the pistons, had nothing to do with using an rb20 intake on an rb25, they are very similar.

I posted this thread because I thought someone might know off the top of their head whether these items bolt up the same, or if they are completely different, if I just think about it I won't gain any knowledge. You are free to ignore my thread if you wish, but I would welcome any constructive help or advice you can give.

Also its Saturday night man, relax we are all friends here.

mafias just being typically condescending....

but i'm pretty sure the 20 intake doesnt work with the neo. if your set on a neo the best bet would be to sell your whole motor as a package and buy a neo package, swapping the turbos in the process to keep your larger one.

Yeah if it doesn't bolt up then that is what I will have to do, does anyone know if GTR injectors bolt into the neo rail? I'm not sure if they are side feed or top feed.

Any other key differences I will need to make note of? What about the exhaust manifold and dump, are they in the same location? The ignition system as well I can't imagine matters, surely they have the same coil pack mounts that I can just bolt mine into or will that need to change as well? If not do you know if I can still use my rb20 loom to power the ignition system? Just trying to avoid having to rewire my car as I'd like to just put the motor in and use as many of my existing sensors as possible. Sounds like it might be a bit of a pain but all the tuners I've spoken to say there is a reasonable power difference, also the motor will be newer and hopefully more reliable compared to a 33 one if they've had the same treatment.

Oh also knock sensors, surely they use the same mounts but could anyone confirm?

I can't seem to find any bare motors anyway so I will just get the whole NEO motor so I can use what I can off my old one and swap some of the newer gear in.

Anyway cheers Jonno

if you go neo you will have to start from scratch basically. you'll need to use a neo loom and ecu (cant use any of your other RB loom or ecu) use the neo intake manifold.. the exhaust side of things is all the same. GTR injectors wont fit. so if you were to do it. i would sell all your gear off and get some deka injectors, nistune for the 34 ecu. and wack your turbo and manifold on.

neo ftw... worlds most reliable engine. MORE reliable then an rb20.... ooooh i went there

actually I think it is just the cross over pipe etc that is rb20,

if I have to do loom and ecu etc with the neo then it is sounding like it might be a tad too expensive to do, might just pull the head off the motor first see what my options are.

I have GTR injectors and R32 ecu with a nistune, they are fine for my 240kw R33 rb25det and I aim to make similar power on the NEO motor so the question is will the fuel rail bolt up the same or does the NEO intake have a completely different rail mount?

well, why leave out the most important information?

This is just a suggestion, but wouldn't you rather just bang another R33 motor in and spend the extra cash on making it more awesome? Seems like a lot of dicking around for not a whole lot of gain.. especially at that power level. If you wanted to bump it up to 300rwkw I'd understand the decision more.

Yeah hence why I doubt I will do it now, if it was as simple as just putting it in and using my existing gear I would do it, but it sounds like a lot of effort (and money) to go neo.

Going to take the head off my old motor first, see if its just a new head I need, might be a cheaper solution.

This is why i hate SAU. What a bunch of *%@!'s.. Mafia, if you don't know the answer just f%ck off. The answer he wants is a simple yes or no. With that said -

Simply putting it Rb20 intake won't physically bolt up to R33 RB25, but it will to the R32 RB25.

R33 RB25 intake manifold and R34 Neo Turbo intake (Non turbo has much smaller ports) are are fully interchangeable.

So in theory if you have an R33 engine in it now, and you bolt that intake manifold onto a R34 Neo turbo, and are then using R33 sensors on your NEO, you can use your existing loom, and coil packs(which will also bolt on) with the exception of R34 CAS which you can actually wire an R34 plug onto and will still work fine. (altough from memory the wires have a dif. pin location so would pay to check that first). Use and or graft any other lower loome plugs to suit you.

and to anyone else, why does it matter to you why he wants to do it? I would think that it would have something to do with the fact that they are a newer engine, solid lifters, etc, etc. So if you were going to buy a 2nd hand engine, wouldn't you buy the newest and best you could? I can tell you after wiring a few Neo's into R33's this would definalty be an easier option if you havent done one before.

Oh btw, sorry to hear about your engine. I have seen a 25 exhaust cam snap in 2 before, but not 3... We had an N1 rb26 snap the timing belt idler bolt. bent 24 valves in a great fashion. barely marked the pistons, took them out (they were ross racing forged pistons), had them examined & tested. perfect. So hope you have the same luck with your misfortune.

Cheers.

So I can use injectors and the rb20/rb25 S1/S2 coilpacks with their existing loom? I imagine the only thing that needs to be the same is the bolt holes for the coilpack mounts. Same with the fuel rail mounts. Same goes for knock sensors, if they plug into the same spot with the same mounts I should be able to use my existing ones.

As if I only have to change the cross over pipe, cas plugs and a few other items it would make it worth while going the NEO, but if I have no option but to go NEO ecu and loom it makes it more expensive than I'm prepared to spend.

Ultimately if all I need is a new head I might just go down that route anyway.

yeah mate personally if i was in your shoes i'd be out in the shed right now and whip that head off... then make a decision from there. if the piston crowns are all ok and no damage to anything other then valves then just do a head swap and save your self a head f**k (you see what i did there) post pics of the head and bottom end if you are un sure.

    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
