Can anyone please tell me exactly what parts are required to put the RB25 turbo onto a stock RB20 manifold? Nay special parts required or do they just bolt on? Also do the R33 fuel pumps have a higher rating than the R32's?

Thanks for all your help for the noob! You guys are great!

Search dude. This has been covered A LOT.

They bolt straight on except for the elbow, which you need the rb25 one

Sorry, I have done so much searching and reading in the last week I am going crosseyed. Couldn't seem to find a how to. Thanks for the reply.

i was fairly sure that the turbo elbow on a rb20 would fit an rb25 turbo. i think at worst you need to slog the three holes out to suit but only a little bit but the main reason i thought that you use an rb25 turbo elbow was for better flow.

Well I couldn't get the RB20 elbow doesn't fit the RB25 turbo. I just wanted something that would bolt on with no hassles. But the inner diameter of the elbows were different too, so yeah, the flow would be all messed up.

The elbows dont go for much anyway, there's one for sale right now for $50.

Oh yeah, and another thing, you need to get a pressure source to hook up to your wastegate actuator. I just got a nipple tapped into my elbow, some do it on the compressor housing.

Mate,

The sticky thread in this section, called Forced Induction Guide... is just that.

A guide to this section.

If you took (approx) 20seconds, you would see a link called: RB25 turbo onto RB20DET - Exactly what is needed

And this is the link for the thread itself thats linked to the title...

Cheers.

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
