So I've gathered items for a rb25de +T build.

Before I get the whole "why not just do a straight conversion ?" I'll just tell you now you can't do it this cheap!!

So far I've acquired a full rb25de neo with 165-170 psi across all 6 and only 120xxx kms on it for $100.

A full rb25det neo intake manifold with injectors and rail etc for $200.

Already got braided turbo lines and a neo factory turbo manifold also.

Will be running a factory op6 turbo and cosmetic 1.3mm head gasket. Oil cooler and relocation kit. Premium pulp and either 25det ecu, IMPUL, nistune or megasquirt and FMIC

Since I don't want to re loom, I've decided to eliminate cold start which I'm not fussed as I've never owned a car where cold start even worked before I got my current r34 lol. So I'm going to buy and bolt up an aftermarket 76-80mm throttle body on the standard intake and re wire the DET TPS to the DE loom. Shouldn't be difficult as both have 6 wires. I'll just need a Pinout diagrams.

Also will need to rewire the IAC valve or delete it though nistune is an optional thought. And re routing water lines may be a bitch.

As for the head, the na neo has smaller intake ports then DET, so decided to get them tapered out and polished to DET neo size to run the gasket and manifold smoothly. Also at the same time, I'm getting the exhaust valve ports die grinded to remove castings to run the bigger DET neo cam or buy tomei drop ins as shimming is the same between both engines.

Anyone done this before that can shed some insight ? Thoughts ? Criticism ?

And......there goes the difference in the money.

If you already had the head off, might as well just get a neo det head instead. You do want to swap out the exhaust side cam as that thing is rubbish (also fixed by getting det head). I very much doubt you want to touch a stock ECU with that setup,I would suggest considering (if within budget) something more programmable (haltech etc). last I checked running RB25 with nistune was not straight forward (most used z32?).

Otherwise i'm interested to see the cost benefit of grinding the DE head, make sure you write every cost down and see what you come out with. keep on with this project!

Should have left the head stock for improved gas speed imo. Aftermarket 80mm throttle? lol.

Anyway, isn't this in the big boys section? The NA+T's are usually relegated to the NA section... Like the 10,000 other threads just like this.

Yes, neo ecus can be nistuned straight up and will do everything I need it to do.

Also, the idea of the 80mm throttle was not for the size as I'll only be running 76mm piping but just to remove the cold start and butterfly etc that's associated with it.

What are you talking about? There is no "cold start and butterfly associated with it". The cold start stuff is on the back of the plenum. The butterfly on the Neo DET TB is the traction control. If you want to not use it, fair enough, but at least know what it is that you are doing.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
