Is that stock R32 drivers seat from a GTR? Cheers.

What's the max power the SS1PU would make on RB25DET on stock manifold, internal gate with injectors, fuel pump, ecu, exhaust, intercooler and z32 AFM?

Sweet! That could be the go. How's the shaft play? Any idea how much boost it's run? I've just bought an rb25det motor with a few fun bits, minus turbo. Was running GCG highflow before. I am going to run stock turbo just until I can afford to upgrade then retune the ECU, but might be on there for 6-8 months.

Don't forget about diff, suspension, wheels etc, all these things effect traction as well, not just the tyre.

What are your thoughts on the ATR2 mate? The seem to hold up better on higher powered cars for drifting than the ATR Sport.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a stock rb25 turbo, prefer an R34 OP6, but will take what is available and in good condition. Not looking to buy for another few weeks yet, but thought I'd post up now. Thanks.

Anfanee, I saw you driving into Phillip of Hindmarsh today, maybe around 4.30pm or something? 5pm? Car is looking nice!

Hey mate, What are the model numbers of the monitors? Thanks.

Yep, Damo will be able to sort it out for sure.

24psi is a lot for a stock motor isn't it?

A good point here! My car would have a different exhaust, air intake, intercooler, fuel pump and potentially boost setting (unsure what sort of boost the car was running previously). So a re-tune is probably a good idea, I was a bit wary of using the old tune in any capacity, I don't know if it had problems or not. At the moment I am looking at Hypergear ATR43SS turbo, it looks to be responsive, works well with the supporting mods I already have, makes more than enough power and almost bolts up to all the stock pipes. This is a big plus for me, as I already have an intercooler kit sorted which lines up with stock RB25 pipes in an R31, and I want to keep the stock manifold. . It's much easier for me to install this RB25DET engine / gearbox package all at once, I don't want to go through the process of an E+T conversion, then have to buy an RB25DET gearbox separately etc. I need the stronger gearbox too. I'm not a huge fan of RB30ET motors, i think it takes too much to get it running as smoothly as a lightly modified 25DET, that's my preference anyway. Also from a cost / reliability point of view, the RB25 wins, and I need this motor/gearbox combination to be stable for my next car, RB30ET would not be practical for my next application. I originally had a complete turbo setup ready to go on to my RB30, but decided to sell it for the route I am following now. I am going to talk to a tuner here in Canberra in the new year, but I was hoping someone could please clarify something for me. If I have two boost settings, for example actuator pressure and 18psi, would there be just 1 tune for the two of them? Assuming it would always run the 18psi tune, and then run a bit rich on less boost? I've never heard of or seen people changing 'maps' when changing boost settings. I plan to have at least 2 different boost settings. Thanks very much for all of the help guys!

Haha, I had the same idea..

Any idea of the mods it has or power it makes?

Haha, SQ judging tracks come from a CD put together by MEA judges over the last few years, tracks are taken from about 5 different CD's.

Not at all mate! The 'Bass Battle' cars are all about how loud they can get, but the majority of the cars there will be sound quality competition cars, the aim is to reproduce the music as accurately as possible. So basically, very nice sounding cars. Everyone is always happy for people to have a listen too.

Hello everyone, I thought i'd share this event, come and check it out if you haven't been to a competition before, you don't have to necessarily be interested in car stereo to enjoy it. There will be a lot of show cars on display, dedicated car stereo demo cars and lots of Sound Quality (SQ) and Bass Battle (SPL) cars there to listen to and enjoy. Lots of very knowledgeable people will be there too, if you're thinking about entering an event. Come for a look at all the cars and a listen too!

That's pretty high up in the rev range, out of interested, would a 10cm housing start the torque down at maybe 3500rpm or so? something?

No tune because that is the turbo currently on the engine I am buying - I am buying a complete RB25DET with turbo/injectors/afm/ecu from a wrecked r33, though the owner of the car is keeping the turbo. If I was to replace it with the exact same turbo - no retune required The comment there was just out of context.

3 boost levels is helpful for me, or at least two. For drifting I want to keep the power as low as I can (considering modifications), I'd want a higher boost setting for some fun track days. I am curious though, I don't understand how the boost increase works in relation to the tune on the ECU, considering the boost controller would be a stand alone unit from the ECU. My house mate has 3 boost settings in his GTR, but he is using an Apexi boost controller, controlled through the PowerFC itself. A handful of friends locally also have 2-3 boost settings. Will the tuner create different maps? I've never heard of changing maps when changing boost. Or is it 1 map to suit all? Seems odd that 1 map could suit 12psi and 20psi. I don't understand how this works, but I know my housemate's car runs beautifully on 15psi and 20psi. Thanks for the response mate! My R31 is quite light I think. Including jack, tools, spare tyre etc is weighed in at 1280kg. I have since removed everything from the boot, the air conditioning, sound deadening, carpet, interior trim etc. Although I understand I have added more weight from wheels/tyres etc, I think the weight overall is quite light, certainly less than 1250kg. For me, a stock-ish rb25det engine and gearbox is the best option. Turbocharging the stock RB30 is no good because of the weak gearbox, I would need to change to an RB25 gearbox either weay. I am not interested in building a hybrid motor from the time, money and overall difficulty versus installing an rb25det engine/gearbox package. The power and torque will be much greater than my RB30e and the gearbox is much stronger, which is a big plus for me (rb20/rb30 gearboxes aren't very strong imo) Thank you for your help.

Quite a good point! I didn't look at it that way. I will contact the guy I am buying the engine from and see about the details of the turbo. The other problem is I can't find out what boost he was running - wouldn't I need a retune for the 3-stage boost controller? Or does 1 tune cover 3 boost levels, i.e. the maps do not change as you adjust the boost?

Thanks mate. I emailed Hypergear and Stato replied within 5 minutes - 10.45pm! What a service. He is going to give me a call tomorrow to chat about my options. Sounds like a Hypergear of some description would suit my needs well though. I know I am restricting myself by wanting to stick with stock manifold, but it's once less thing to worry about for police attention/my budget. It's easiest all round if a turbo would just bolt on. Hopefully there will be an option which will be capable of response with low 200kw and still support 260+kw

Thanks for the help, I will look for your dyno sheet. I would like to have the possibility of more power later on, so should look for a turbo capable of supplying ~260rwkw or so later on. I plan to use a 3-stage boost controller, so was hoping to have actuator pressure (~12psi) then 16psi and 20psi, or 15psi and 18psi etc, whatever the turbo would be suited for. From what I understand the injectors, AFM and ECU are all fine for big power, the stock manifold and stock crossover pipe will restrict a bit anything past 260-280kw? So if the turbo was capable of 260 - 280kw that would be great, for later on.

Thanks for the advice. The ATR43? What size housings would you suggest? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I am putting an RB25DET engine and gearbox into my R31 Skyline. I am picking up the engine/gearbox next month, at the moment it is still in a wrecked S2 R33. My car is used mainly for drifting but also the occasional regular track day. I will probably start entering a local hillclimb next year too. I have a few questions, first of all I'll list the gear which I already know is on the motor: S2 RB25DET 100 000km Sard 700cc injectors (have yellow caps?) Z32 AFM Apexi Power FC + Hand controller Sard adjustable FPR Possibly 'stage 1 cams' but not sure about this. The car was running a GCG turbo (unsure on specifications), but the owner is keeping the turbo. So now I need to decide what sort of turbo to buy for it, given the supporting mods I already have. My understanding is that no matter what, I will have to have the ECU re-tuned, unless I get the exact exact same turbo again? A GCG turbo is out of my budget, so looks like the ECU will need to be retuned. I've been reading old threads and the RB25 dyno results thread, it seems that the Kinugawa TD06-20G seems to be quite popular? I am having trouble finding it with the 10cm housing though, I think 12cm would be too big. I am not looking for big power, I would like the car to be responsive. Can anyone suggest some good turbos to look at? My budget is $800 - $1200 roughly, I would prefer it to fit on the stock manifold and have an internal wastegate so I can keep the engine / engine bay looking as stock as possible. Secondly, it looks like the timing belt and water pump are new, I assume they have been done at 100 000km. Should I change these again just to be sure? Or maybe just the timing belt? I'd like to do as much preventative maintenance as I can before putting the engine into my car. I will need to buy a boost controller also, so the car will have an electronic boost controller. Is there anything else I should be looking at? Any recommendations or advice about the engine and choice of turbo would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Anthony.
