Rb25det Neo vs Rb25det

Hey guys, new to this page, currently building a motor. I have a reb25det neo block, got some forged pistons that are rb25neo pistons, are neo pistons only compatible with a neo head or could I use a standard head with it? Cheers

Hey Bailey

Im guessing your new to forums. Mate before you get smashed can I give you some advice? 

It is etiquette to do some searching before you post up a question, use google to search this forum as it works better ?

Of course if you cant find what you need, post up. But Jesus and his deciples were toying with RB's long before you and I started playing with them so 9 times out of 10 it will have been covered 50 before.

hope I got in before the less subtle deciples just gave you both barrels

oh and you will find your answer ???

Couldn't really find the answer I needed.

Hi mate, welcome to the site.. lots of good advice on here but lots of shit too.. if you look up most people have gone the total other way to you. People put the neo head on a non neo block for the vct and solid lifters ect ect.. so cant understand why your going opposite way? It does seem like it can be done BUT with alot of stuffing around and headaches as the tops of the pistons are different and stuff.. your best off getting the neo head to match as nissan put alot of work into the neo with the vct ect ect.. if you do end up needing a neo head please just pm me as im about to change mine over as ive just had 1 fully worked so i will have a spare soon and in perfect condition.. anyways i hope u can find what your looking for but i think most will tell you the same.. Cheers mate

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
