It's most likely a 25, has vct and alloy cas, only 20 neo has vct but would have plastic cas 

Okay guess what I found the block print has RB25 on it stupid f**ks literally has orange over spray on it it has a VCT Drain…so that rules out a neo

You might be able to find the engine number (if about it hasn't been painted over....) the prefix should be rb25 or rb20

Gave  a nice look has RB25 but had orange spray over it and block is stamped 

“JAPAN” 75T which I’ve searched and it’s an rb25det block and no igniter on coil pack soo am I safe to assume it’s a S2 RB25DET..with a RB26 Intake plenum? I’ll be going for a plazmaman or a diff intake plenum kit suited for an rb25det can that give me a headache? If I leave the 26 on? Can that be the reason it’s running shit I’m happy to pay $$ for information on building it properly with a nice aeroflow 6262 .84 T4 turbo (either 50mm wastegate or 2x44mm wastegate 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was planning on forging the rods / pistons / tomei valve springs , Cams , e85 / flex  respray the whole car and a Rocket Bunny kit and a nice set of coilovers, link ecu? Or are there better ones for cheaper that can handle what I want & I heard these motors are good stock to push 400-500hp? Unless I read wrong  (But the way these retards painted it I think it’s safer to build the motor ground up as I want to run the 5-600hp mark figure 

Re trying to identify what it might (or might not be) a bit better, can you post up some good clear pics of the plenum and where it is bolted to the throttles/intake manifold/whatever is there.

An rb26 inlet manifold does not bolt straight onto an rb25 head due to different port placement/shapes, so there is either some sort of adapter plate, or it is a 26 head

Most likely it's tuning related.

That plenum is fine, moving to a Plazmaman you won't notice much of a difference.

If you want supreme low down, better off with the stock intake manifold & plenum OR the Rajab top half.

A Precision or Turbosmart 6262 is too big for what you want, and big boost with Tomei Valve springs also a fail.

You can make 373kW on a stock motor with just head studs, sensible timing in the mid range and it will last for your intended purposes (won't last on the track for too long).

To me it just looks like an rb25 Freddy plenum.

Yes I Was reading that up, some places are doing those adapter / weld on ones, and blitz ones are out of production im totally unsure but I have definitely just uploaded pics hope this helps thanks

Is a Freddy a fake Greddy?

It is, and you do. Everything points at it being a series 2 non NEO rb25. Of course, unknown internals so you don't know how hard you can push the setup.  If you can get hold of a borescope you could check the top of the pistons for stock or aftermarket markings, but that still won't tell you want rods you have which is arguably more important for  higher power

Yeah ofc, as the car sat for a while I have no problems just going to buy a whole new pistons , rods , cams etc

Sorry when you mean I do, do you mean I’ve got a Freddy one?

Fake GReddy = Freddy

Don't waste your money, money better spent on good engine management, modern injectors, drive by wire (so you can delete all that cable throttle, idle control valve junk).

No no no im

not going to buy that junk I was assuming that’s what’s on the motor I would love a forward facing plenum, maybe a plenum for rb25det and a 90mm throttle body

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
