Rb25 Power Figures With The Following Mods.

[sleepy180]

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.

if its a 3in turb back exhaust i think between 190-200rwk

[mad082]

around 200kw at the wheels

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....

Around 200rwkw.

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).

Sounds good, 200-210rwkw is what I am after. Thanks for your replies.

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.

I had a look at it before, but it seemed to be all upgraded turbos, which I am wanting to avoid.

Thanks for the reply though.

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.

Sweet, i wanted to know this as well. WOW 200kw at the WHEELS? are you guys sure? thats massive. How much is engineering cert for those mods?

[sleepy180]

In SA its about $800 for the report or can be as much as $1500 if it needs track testing (which it more than likely will).
