Hey guys, Im just wanting a hopefully simple answer.

I'm just wondering if the rb20de neo ecus/ looms are the same as the rb25det neo engines. 

I'm doing a plus-t on my 20de neo and before you all say it's not worth it I know I have a s1 25det I'll use in either this or the drift car which ever blows up first😂.

Main thing I'm wanting to know is can I get a link g4 plug and play for a R34 25det and use the loom or ecu or am I just better off getting g4x and make/ get my loom made. 

I've seen multiple de neo plus t's make good reliable power eg: one in a mates drift car making 270kw on 22psi for 6 years, even saw 13500rpm briefly back when links limiters liked to disappear and somehow survived. 

Plan is to run a 25det turbo stock manifold fmic not sure on intake yet but will probably go front facing or could just put the standard 25det one if it fit and run 14psi with larger cc injectors and all the usual crap.

Thanks in advance for any replies

Didn't happen. Would have been bullshit signal from CAS interpreted by ECU as much more revs than was actually happening. 13500 is just so totally implausible as to be beneath consideration.

As to the ECU....not sure. There are definitely ECU driven devices and sensors on the turbo that are not on the 20. Traction control and its position sensor, boost sensor (yes, for the ECU, not for the dash) and teh boost control solenoid are the obvious ones. So it is possible that the ECU plug is the same plug, but it is also possible that it is not. And if it is the same, there is no guarantee that the pin assignments for all the other stuff are the same.

'Twere I you, I would get the wiring diagrams for them both and just compare. The manuals are out there.

I haven't tried it this way but I''m guessing it would work, as GTSBoy says there are extra sensors but with the link I'd guess once again lol that you'd just have to wire in the boost control solenoid unless just running gate pressure, the boost sensor & traction probably shouldn't be an issue with the link.

Have you checked the Link site? See below lol

Suitable applications: 

RB20DE NEO, RB25DE NEO and RB25DET NEO in R34 Skylines

RB20DE NEO, RB25DE NEO and RB25DET NEO in C35 Laurels 

RB20DE NEO, RB25DE NEO and RB25DET NEO in Nissan Stageas

- Plus, non neo motors in Stageas

Thanks for the reply's guys, I did look on links website but for some reason didn't see the "suitable applications"

I'm not too worried about everything working ie dash but would be nice, the boost sensors and controller will all be done by the link as they have a 4 bar map sensor and multiple extra ports for things like boost controllers & iat sensor. The cars factory manual and doesn't have tcs and abs runs on its own modual. I'll come back and update you guys on how I get on for anyone trying to do this in the future.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
