so.....

this is my first rb25det neo (RWD) engine and i will fix it in a peugeot 504 - 76


but i have some questions to the rb specialist i know there is a lot of info. on the internet for this engines but i'm totally lost and i want some one to simply answer this questions :


1- what is difference (mechanically and electrically ) between the neo and non neo engines?

2- did the neo engines came in R33 or it only came in R34 and starting from what models???

3- how can i make sure that my engine is originally a DET engine ???

4- what is the difference between s1 and s2 engines?

5- what is the ECU serial number which matches my Rb25 det neo (because i got the engine with a harness only )?

6- i bought an rb20 gear box with this engine because of the lake of resources (money) is this will be a problem in the future ?

7- what is the difference between an automatic and a manual transmission engine harness and how can i know which harness i have?

8- i need a full wiring diagram for this engine as the wiring is the most challenging thing for me (fixing the motor into the car is the easy part).


this acutely summon my doubts for now

any help from you guys will be very appreciated

if any one have any info for me for fixing an rb engine into my car please let me know

Differences mechanically:

1. Neos have RB26 rods, N1 oil pumps. These hardly make much if any difference but they are both that little bit better than the older 25.

2. The Neo has solid lifters, so again like the RB26 rather than the older 25s.

3. These go with a totally redesigned head that doesn't look much different but has a smaller combustion chamber, different valve angle, different ports, which were all directed around making the engine make more power and torque for less fuel consumption. The "Neo" tag is Nissan's name for engine technologies that allowed then to get engines into certain low emissions categories in Japan.

Differences electrically:

There are lots. Some things are compatible back to the S2 engines, some things are totally new. Many of the electrical differences between S1 and S2 25s carry over. So, coils with ignitors inbuilt, newer CAS

1. Neos have traction control (unless they're from a Stagea) so the throttlebody is different, with an actuator motor and extra sensor.

2. Neos have a boost sensor connected to the crossover pipe (that the ECU uses for making some fuelling decisions).

3. Neos have a totally different ECU to the older 25s. If auto, then the TCU is in the ECU.

4. Lots of fiddly little differences around the loom for air-con, etc etc.

No Neos in R33. There were some halfway house looking engines that are a bit confusing. But basically Neos only in R34s and the equivalent Stageas.

You can't easily tell if someone has slapped turbo gear onto an NA engine. The factory turbos have the correct turbo oil drain, oil supply and water supply connections for the turbo, that possibly won't have been done properly on an NA conversion. A compression test could show up sky high compression on an NA Neo.

S1 engines are like an RB20 + VCT. S2 engines have coils with ignitors built in, newer CAS, a few other changes. Otherwise there is precious little difference between them. Some googling on your behalf will find heaps on info on this topic.

ECU part numbers can be googled very easily.

RB20 turbo gear box will only take the torque of a 25 for so long before it will die. You need a bigger box.

There is no difference between the engine harnesses of auto and manual cars, except that of course the Neo has the wiring for the tranny coming out of the ECU plug.

Wiring diagrams are google-able.

Also,

Oh wait nope. That's the most comprehensive standard vs neo RB25 comparison you will ever find.

If you have the inlet manifold off you can see than non turbo Neos have quite small Intake ports compared to the standard turbo ones. Searching google for comparison pics with help you with identifying what you have.

Props to GTSboy for such a detailed response.

If its a DET head it will have 5l8 on it somewhere. If DE head its 5l7.

I think..?

Stratospheric CR ignored?

Yes, as im doing an RB30 bottom end , just thinking about the neo head and manifold mating with the S2 power fc and wires sensors etc etc

I know the Cas is different..

Well.....thinking cap on......um. The only sensor on the head other than the CAS is the TPS. If the Neo one wasn't compatible for some bizarre reason, then I'm sure you could find a way to either put an S2 TPS onto the Neo TB, or better yet, just drop a complete S2 TB onto the Neo plenum and piss off the TCS throttle and crossover.

The VCT is just a solenoid, so can't see that being a problem. Injectors are different, but the ECU shouldn't care. All the other sensors (what's left anyway? AFM, water temp, knock....) are independent of your choice of head. So, can't see it being an enormous issue.

oh yaaaaah those are the info i was looking for thanks (GTSBoy) .....

And yes you are right the first thing i noticed is that the turbo oil drain has a connection in the engine block not in the oil sump so i think i'm a little bit relieved that this is actually a DTE engine until i get the engine from Dubai and open the intake and exhaust manifold and compare the ports sizes and i can make a compression test after i done the wiring to be completely sure about that .

for identifying a s1 or s2 wiring .. beside the big ignition box you can find in the s1 (which is very noticeable ) i found out that the MAP sensor in s1 have 5 wires connection and in s2 it has only 3 wires.

and after googling for some time i found this great site for identifying the ECU

http://www.rbparts.co.nz/342746/

for the rb20 gear box i hope it lasts some time before the big boooooom ,, then i will get the big box of the 25's

thx for all for the great feed back and if any one have some tips for this project (Peugeot 504 with a RB25DET ) pleas let me know

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
