Is there a difference between RB25 NEO Gasket Kits

[Smitty2u]

I'm getting conflicting advice re this.  Can anyone confirm that I can use a DET NEO kit for a DE NEO?

Depends on what gaskets you're talking about. Inlet manifold gasket, for example, probably different.

Basically the whole kit, mainly the head gasket, intake and exhaust manifolds.

Well, think about what you know that IS different between the engines (ie, the tiny tiny inlet ports) and what is not different (ie, the bore diameter and spacing!) and....

 Cool, since I'm using a FIM, it would seem that all gaskets I need should be usuable from the DET kit.

What's a FIM?

Sorry, front intake, I should've stated a front facing manifold.

That logic doesn't really follow. The ports on the NA head are small. At least big holes in the gasket to suit the torque killer manifold that you're using won't get in the way.

Yes, the inlet gasket supplied suits both engines, all else the same. You are overthinking this. But as GTSBoy said that FFP will make your N/A perform like a pig.
