So RB25 NEO runs 370cc top feed injectors.

My silly question - will 720 denso top feed from my R32 GTR fit in my NEO.

Will the fuel rail and/or FPR need changing? Fuel pump ??

Experienced with my GTR new to upgrades on the 34GTT - go easy..

No. RB25 Neo injectors are the new 3/4 length ones. The rail from your RB26 probably won't be able to be bolted on to hold down the 720s, even if the injectors will physically fit in the holes (I don't know the relevant diameters). The FPR/damper setup on Neos is a bit more complicated than on the older engines (although it really just comes down to fuel in at one end and fuel out at the regulator end, so you can always find a way to set up any given rail and reg) so that will make it a bit more confusing.

Lastly, std R34 fuel pump is probably not big enough to support 720s. But that really does depend on the power level you're actually shooting for. Fair to say though that if you're doing any mods for power, then a new pump is a must anyway.

Thank you GTSboy - Can I press you for some more info. Maybe PM if better

My OP6 turbo exhaust wheel seized recently. Sent it off to ATS in Adelaide for a high flow with garret CHRA. Should be 2871 equivalent.

I have an aftermarket FMIC, K+N pod filter, Splitfires. and 3" exhaust. Stock ECU. Boost controller plugged up.

Not looking for to much power as it's an Auto and my daily Tokyo taxi. But looking to take advantage of the extra kws (safe levels).

Not sure to fit and leave alone as is with a 12psi actuator or add some parts.

Was 170 RWKWS. Happy to have anywhere between 200-250.

Recommendations?

12 psi stands a chance of R&R type misbehaviour. Right now I have my Neo (standard turbo) wound up to just shy of 12psi....probably just over 11 psi really. Last weekend I was experimenting with my boost controller (after a repair to it) and had the boost peaking just over 12 psi. The car was not running well up there. Whereas it will rev smoothly with a little less boost, it was getting rough when I had it slightly higher. I think that was R&R.

My ECU has Nistune in it but it is running the standard maps right now (until I can get around to getting it on the dyno). I know for a fact a few things. They are;

1) the standard fuel map runs out of load scale at 160,

2) at my current <12 psi boost setting the load (TP) is going up to about 185, which is well off the top of the map,

3) the last 5 or 6 load columns of the standard maps, from about 4000 rpm upwards are ridiculously rich and retarded. (The timing map actually extends out to a load index of 208, so I am still on that map).

So given that I am not even operating on the actual fuel map - that it is just extrapolating the fueling values from the last column, and the timing out in that part of the map is pretty much single figures, it's not hard to see that R&R is almost a dead certainty. It is also using a LOT more fuel with the boost turned up like this, because the fueling is so rich (and the extra power is addictive)

The point of all this? You won't be able to get good results just by highflowing (and or adding boost via a better actuator) because the ECU will get all emo over it. It is important to remember that with a highflow you will be moving more air at any given boost level than you would with the standard turbo. I am running at the limit of the standard ECU now, at 12psi, with the standard turbo.

So you will need to do something about management. Nistune is good, but it turns out that it can be a right pain in the arse to tune the R34 ECUs because they have a VE map which means that oxy feedback is switched on over the whole fuel map and there are vague calculations that go on in the background to determine if the ECU looks at the fuel map or the VE map to try to set the mixtures at any given time. I haven't actually tried to tune it yet, as I have said. But given that what I would want to achieve is leaner than stoich cruise mixtures, plus a general leaning off of the high load/rpm areas (just to claw back some power and economy), I may have some entertaining times ahead. I know people have done lots of R34 ECU tuning, so I'm not saying it's impossible...I'm just a little unsure how best to go about it. An aftermarket ECU would be easier to get the desired result. Nistune suits me though because it is nearly indistinguishable from stock. It's a tough call.

Anyway, to support your wished for power range (which your highflow will fall right into, should be getting up towards 250rwkW), you will need;

1) Metal turbo intake pipe. Stock one will suck shut,

2) ECU,

3) Fuel pump,

4) You may destroy the tranny if you give it a hard time. They can be toughened up, but at what cost/benefit ratio?

5) Sticky tyres are a good idea.

cheers

Signal benders are to be avoided at all costs.

If budget is a concern, preference goes to cheap, proper ECU solutions first. These would be Nistune, cheap 2nd hand PFC. Then next preference goes to cheapish aftermarket new ECUs like Adaptronic or Megasquirt. Then onwards and upwards from there through the Haltech, Link, Vipec, etc stuff to Motec and Autronic. And caviar and champagne of course.

sorry that should read...

buy a aftermarket exhaust system, then a turbotech bleed valve and boost your positive manifold pressure until the stock computer says uncle.

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
