Rb25Det Neo In Something Else ;d

If it's going into the GQ (assuming it's an rd28) an rb swap is quite easy in terms of bolting up. As the guys have said, early GQ's came out with carbied rb30's so the legalities of getting an rb engineered souldn't be too hard.

As for power... I own a nissan stagea, it has an rb25det neo and weighs 1900kg with 2 passengers and a bit of fluff. So when we go camping or I'm hauling around a heap of stuff, the 'ol wagon is well over 2T. It has a standard turbo, but has been re-tuned (using a nistune board in the stock ecu) with a bigger inter cooler and exhaust. For what it is, it hauls ass! With the turbo torque and awd I regularly scare the pants off hsv's and annoying bmw's. If I really get stuck, I also have 75hp of nitrous to switch on... but anyway.

I would find yourself a nice series 2 auto, stagea rb25det NEO front cut or engine package. Get a wiring diagram to help sort out what ecu wiring you keep and what body wiring from the stock ecu you can ditch. Get someone to install a nistune board into the ecu and run a manual r34 gtt map (if you're running a manual box behind it). Keep all the stock sensors, afm etc. Install a larger than factory intercooler, run a 3" exhaust at a minimum.

Most importantly, get the whole lot running with the stock turbo, afm and injectors... it's alot easier to fault find problems when everything is stock. Once you have it all up and running properly get it on a dyno and have the nistune board tuned to suit. You'll end up with about 130-140rwkw on 12 psi (don't try running anymore boost, you'll kill the turbo).

After that, 350hp.... Hypergear highflow/400-600cc injectors/Z32 AFM and a re-tune.

Install a surge tank with a bosch 044 and a whatever intank pump as a lift pump. The odd angles you get into in a 4WD you will need it.

Also, if you do crazy climbing or traversing, look at extending the sump or fitting an accusump.

Cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
