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.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
