My engine is still going strong! 11000kms on over 350kw now :D

man those R34 NEO motors are built like german nazi tanks lol

it seems like it's more economical to drop in a R34 NEO motor if a R33 RB25DET motor ever carks it

They tend to hold together pretty well! Ill admit mine has had a hard life too! Its been overheated (Well got warm but Haltech shut it down) and also had a LOT of fuel dramas which caused all sorts of bad AFRs early days... I try to keep it off the limiter but it still gets spun to just over 8000rpm when up it haha

Sick effort. Mines close to getting on the rollers. Patience is running thin though

It gets like that! Itll all be worth it on that first drive though ;)

Funny thing is I'm the one doing all the work. Just a matter of putting in the effort after working all day on shitbox cars (skoda). Sometimes all you wana do is sit on the couch and not move lol. Will be tuned within the month though

I would like to be able to say the same. But i give mine a fairly hard time. Seen 2 track days and lots of limiter, although mine is set at 7450 from memory not 8000 haha.

Even driving it very hard, no blowby AT ALL! or any oil/fluid leaks, just running the standard nissan setup. ie linked rocker covers and then a hose to the intake after the AFM.

The thing i am most impressed with is its off boost driveability though, it is insane! Put your foot down in any gear and it just accelerates, even crusing at 100 in 5th, half throttle and it just accelerates to 120 easily all while off boost!

I am certainly very impressed with the NEO!

Unfortunately mines dropped cylinder 5 :( flaming mongrel!! Im not sure what caused it, had plenty of vacuum leak drama from the plenum in past year and an accidental overboost of 25psi in third, all cylinders 155-160 and number 5 is 60..goes upto 200 with some oil squirted in.

rebore and forgies n rings or drop a stocky? thoughts?

I thoughtyou sold your 33? You building another or same but different way? Id throw pistons and rods at it but all depends on your power goal and what you wish to do with it.

that was the plan, but then discovered the dropped cylinder and now thinking ill just have another crack at it, will be a 300kw and ethanol , keep it very simple this time with a 0.63internal rear

forgies...and 500kws...:P

Yes and no, depends on your powergoal. You've got Matty spinning up 390kW on a dead stock motor and it also gets punished. I've sbeen how he drives it lol

So why spend thousands when a drop in NEO will cost you half the price of a basic engine rebuild?

Just my thought.

I have 2 mates that had 300rwkw 25's for the same time I did, one drivin like mine, the other PUNISHED. both of theirs were built motors from very well reputed workshops, and both of them are on their 3rd motor now. while mine was on it's second when I sold it

with these power figures its a lottery either way, so i'd just got another stocker personally.

car is dedicated E85, its a big decision, having thoughts of running a higher comp ratio of mid to high 9s, gt3076 with .63 rear internal, goal is driving on streets and drags with reducing lag and making it feel very punchy on the street. 300-320kw max

stocker- solid from factory but still old and 155av comps..

rebuild- new pistons/rings ( possibly forged) and have 180-200 comp = more grunt and earlier boost for the streets

much simpler to just drop stocker in though and maybe shave a bit off head, don't want to overcomplicate stuff

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
