Just wondering if a Neo turbo is a direct replacement for a regular RB25DET in a 1996 stagea? I read the Neo turbo is not as hardy as the older series of turbo, but the Neo seems to be more available and priced low (I imagine its because they arent wanted) But if they fit, are they acceptable if you stay below 9 psi?

I wouldn't suggest that they are priced low. I would have said exactly the opposite, that because they have the OP6 exhaust housing they are actually in demand compared to R33 turbos. Having said that, even at $400 they're not what you would call expensive.

The only reason that you would consider them to be more fragile than the R33 turbo is that they have a plastic compressor wheel (which the later R33s had anyway). That is a little more prone to death than the alloy one.

The main cause of death is still the ceramic turbine falling apart if you spin them fast.

Yes, it is an upgrade, yes, keep it below 9 psi and you'll be fine (you could even run more - I'm running about 12 on mine - I'm sure it will either keep going for years and years or just crap itself totally this afternoon).

Thanks, so is it a direct swap, or are modifications required for fitment? Also assuming no change in the amount of boost I want to run, how will the stock ECU cope?

I have a neo turbo on my R33 on standard boost. It is a straight swap with no modifications. Standard ECU handles it fine

I have a HKS GT2535 for sale atm. Its a direct bolt on. Ball bearing cartridge in perfect condition with no bent or chipped fins. Has roughly 15,000kms on it over 6ish yrs. .64ar standard 6 bolt nissan dump pipe flange ns111 28 exhaust wheel with a 56 trim 69mm comp wheel from memory. 'Google it for definet specs'.

Good for 250kw atw's on 98 and 270ish kw atw's on e85. I Made 235kw atw' on 1 bar/14psi of boost 98 fuel many many yrs ago. Lol. Comes with all lines and will throw HKS dump in to for the right price. $900ono. Will by far out perform the op6 neo stocka and normal 25 turbo with ease with similar response. Pm if interested and will not disappoint for farrrk al more outlay to a stocka.

Could be a possibility, what rpm does it create useable boost from vs the stock turbos? How will it function with a standard ECU? Keep in mind Im not chasing power, the car is mainly a workhorse vehicle and so the stock response and low spool rpm is crucial.

It spools no different to a stocka and will be fine on s stock ecu set up on 9-10psi. Itll have a stronger midrange aswell. With room for improvement down the track if you wish. :)

Sorry to revive this but just interested to hear if there was any added lag or improvement switching to the NEO (OP6) turbine over the R33 turbo

Thanks ..

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
