Hi,

The long and short of it is am after as much power as i can from an engine with only minor mods.

I have my heart set on an RB25 engine and was wondering what sort of power figure i would be looking at with the following mods :

Pod Filter

Intercooler

Exhaust

Boost controller : 12psi

Engine managment of some kind (remap/powerfc/emanage ultimate)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah it has to be a turbo back exhaust, then you would be looking at about 200rwkw...... hope your getting good tyres!

Pod filter wont do anything but sound kool, i am seriously considering going back to standard air box.... the pod is just a hot air filter! But I am addicted to the sound of induction....

have a search for some of the dyno days results on the threads in this forum but in general:

RB25 (non Neo)

pod (covered with an air feed)

exhaust (3" with good cat and split front/dump pipe)

intercooler

12psi boost

Power FC (with good tune)

=at least 200rwkw. (more likely 210-215)

If you want a quick and fun car you should focus on the mid range power instead of top range. Also remember even though RBs are better then SRs in general they cost more and cost more to mod/maintaine as they are 6cyl not 4 (eg. 6 spark plugs, 6 injectors, bigger intake manifold, etc...).

Also Apexi stop making the Power FC for the RB25. As the PFC was the best ecu (in comperison to the prices of other ecus) for basic mods you may need to spend more to get another ecu and tune (eg. Wolf).

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The cost is not an issue. The main thing is keeping it as stock as much as possible and achieving 200rwkw. If a PFC is not available, I will go the Emanage Ultimate.

If price is not an issue get a RB26. Stock makes close to 200rwkw for the R32 version and about 200rwkw for the R33. You wont be able to beat it for response as its twin turbos spool up quick and it has individual throttles. Plus a Power FC for a RB26 can be picked up for around $900 new. Its the ultimate Nissan engine. :-)

Very true, the Rb26 is an awesome engine, but engineers cert and insurance are factors in choosing the RB25, fairly easily engineered and insurance and happy with a 2.5 single turbo. You could hear the chicks voice crack when twin turbo was mentioned, "sorry sir we probably wouldn't cover that".

So the Rb25 is the next best thing.

U should have told her it came from an Aus delivered R32 GTR so its legal in Aus... lol...

Anyways good luck with the conversion. A RB25 in a light 180 would be a lot of fun. Just make sure u do some suspension mods and get fat rubber so u can keep the car under control.

Yeah, hopefully its lots of fun. Getting coilovers, etc, etc to cope with the weight and tyres and rims will be coming as well.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
