Hey Guys, 

I have an R34 GT Four RB25DE NEO that I recently purchased. I have purchased a C34 Stagea RS Four engine (RB25 NEO DET AWD), front diff and shafts complete with turbos, harness and ECU. 

Has anyone else done a similar conversion as I have a few questions ?

1) Any issues with adapting the DET ECU to existing harness or additional modifications to the harness required.

2) Will the diff and front shafts all bolt up fine. 

I'm picking up the engine this afternoon and just thought I would ask in advance.

Cheers

Will (Imtorqing)

There's almost no differences in the dirty stuff down low (driveshafts, etc).

Is it an auto or manual? If auto, there's possibly a whole range of things that will leap up to bite you on the arse. I think the auto TCU is a separate box on the NAs, whereas it is integrated in the ECU on the turbos.

Do not put the DET ECU into it and attempt to hook it up to the old loom. Pull the NA engine look out all the way from the ECU and replace with the DET engine loom.

The Stagea front (and rear) diffs are 4.111

I believe your R34 DE is 4.363 so you will need to (preferably) get a 4.1 rear end for your car or use your front diff in the stagea sump.

The previous owner converted the car to RWD(God knows why), and put a RWD sump on it by the looks (Removed Shafts etc.) Its also been converted to Manual with a R32 GTR Box so shouldn't be an issue there. 

I have taken delivery of the crate engine today which has all the wiring harness all to the ECU so no probs I will pull the NA harness out and put the DET harness and ECU in as by the sounds of it that will be alot easier. 

Ill have a look at the rear diff also to see what ratio it chirped the right tyre when I turned into my driveway so I haven't inspected what has been done to that. 

Cheers for the help

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
