Children with fast toys who think owning a car makes them an expert on said car.

Grow up Greg. Dan is a MECHANIC, you know, went to trade school and put up with all the shite an apprentice has to go through. And now his knowledge is available to those of us who treat him with respect.

DOU33...

when you approached me to detail your car, i was more than willing to do it, for the price of materials (i.e. i wasn't going to charge you for my time or anything, even though it would have taken me close to a day to do, due to the shit condition you described your car as being in... i.e. it hasn't been looked after) as you seemed to be a half-decent guy..

Well, after all your defamatory (yes, you read correctly, your statements are defamatory) statements towards a certain member of this forum, who has done nothing but go out of his way to help you, both online and in real life, i retract my offer, as you do not seem to be the type of person who i want to attract to be part of my clientel, and i sincerely hope you grow a brain sooner or later.

Edit: Oh, and in relation to this topic, i am running 11psi through a stock RB25 turbo on an RB20...

On an RB25DET, i wouldn't be game to run any more than about 11 or 12psi *with the supporting mods (i.e. intercooler, exhaust etc)

Oh, also, if you decide to mod the car, and you take it to a mechanic, it usually pays to listen to the advice that the mechanic gives you, if he says to take it easy for the first little bit, instead of driving out of the driveway, after everything has just been put back together, and redlining the first few gears.... if you act like this, then don't be surprised when shit goes wrong, and it will be YOUR FAULT

Ok now that is over....

The fact is that I have done the tests and I know the results.

You can run 20psi constantly on an RB25. But like I said in my earlier post, as long as all ancillaries and tuning is correct. The standard AFM is just capable of handling boost pressures around 14psi because the power output would require an airflow of greater value than the standard AFM can measure. If your RB25 is making 210rwkw then the amount of air required to create that horsepower is enough to max out the standard AFM.

This is an example of an ancillary that is incorrect.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
