Hey Guys,

I currently have a RB25DET, PowerFC, GTR FMIC, High flow cat, greddy plenum with Q45 TB, 13psi on standard turbz and big exhaust. Everything else is pretty much stock.

Currently im at 217kw, what will i need for 350??

Im thinking injectors, bigger turbo... what else?

Its in a S13 so im not sure how much room there would be for a bigass turbo and it has a RB20 gearbox (twin plate clutch), i hear these are only good for around 270kw before they self destruct.

RB25 box - $1500

Rebuild, head work etc - $6000-7000

Turbo - $1700

Manifold - $1000

Ext Gate - $700

Injectors - $800

AFM - $300

Plus all the labour to fit it all, new hoses, clamps, gaskets, dump pipes, coils etc - $3000

Thats 16k or there abouts.

Then there is the diff, suspension, brakes etc. So add on around another 8k there.

Oh and a clutch, 1200.

And no doubt other things i have missed aswell.

Simply put, power is not cheap. The more you want the more its going to cost.

Reliably and getting it to the ground so you can actually drive the car, your looking at around 25k to do it properly.

As you basically have a stock car, you've gotta change everything

Nice, might lower my power goal slightly then :)

A well tuned responsive car at 290kw at the wheels is a better drive

than a car that pushes 350kw does not get any traction on lift and goes on like a pig.

It is about the package...not the power....especially if the tuner gets his results at 1.5bar+ and 8000rpm

using nitro.....lol...a bit over the top...but you all know what I mean

I would suggest to you...a new turbo....a set of cams...and a good tune for street work......

I already knew power costs money...

But im sure your over Exaggerating :)

Oh also have an upgraded fuel pump, im thinking of spending around 3 - 4k on it to get some decent numbers. Was thinking a hi flow and injectors.

Im really not exaggerating, if anything im actually being conservative in some of the estimates.

If you only have 4k, then all you can do is a hi-flow and injectors and thats about it.

tuning will eat up the rest and you'll have around $500 or so change to spend on fuel and whatever :)

I killed mine with 270rwkw with my RB25.

It lasted about 4 months and was in good condition prior. I'd given it a good workout @ the drags on 3 separate occasions.

Roy with the RB20 has made 250rwkw and circuit raced his heaps.

I would say the added torque/traction i had with my setup killed it faster and thats why Roy's car/box is still going.

Plus circuit/drag is different aswell

So... with a 25, the hi-flow will be pushing the boxes limits if you intend to do any type of drag racing.

Circuit you might find its ok

yeah i learnt that with my FD rx7.... did a crazy build up 350-odd kw then realised i liked the 300 far better.

for me the ultimate setup on a rb25 is evrything you already got plus one thing.... a TD06SH-25g kit. This kit has proved on std internals to run mid 10's on slicks (CREATD MSA manual r33) and mid 11's on street radials (andrew manual r33 from autobarn frankston... now wearing a T88 and transbrake tho :) ).

The boxes limits or the engines limits, if its the boxes i dunno where the hell you got that from since theres alot of people running alot more power through it and still going strong, the engine on the other hand is a gamble at most.

Cheers.

Plus little bit of an equation anything under 300 rwkws or just on is close to max limitations of a good reliable streeter any more well as stated you budget doubles in price just alone for handling tyres and fuel

Cheers

Something a little like this???

R32 Gtst:

Engine: Rb25det conversion The internals are far from stock and top secret, Flowed head/port polish, HKS 275 camshafts, HKS head gasket, Trust Stainless top mount manifold, Trust 50mm waste-gate, Trust front mount intercooler, Trust Oil cooler and relocation filter kit, GReddy Type-R BOV plumbed backed, Nismo 820cc injectors, HKS F-con Pro V.... im sure ive missed a few bits n pieces

Suspension And Running Gear: Rebuilt Rb25det gearbox, brand new twin plate OS clutch, Nismo 2way mechanical diff, Tein adjustable coilovers, Tein Adjustable Castor Rods, Tein Tie Rod Ends, 17inch Genuine 3 piece Nismo rims.

Pictures from a year ago, its now got a full gtr intake setup including ITB's, 490rwhp @ 1.2bar, we actually dont know what the turbo is, its one of three items, Trust Td06-25g, old school trust td07s or a t67-25g, whatever it is, it does the job :(

Due for a retune in about 3 - 4 months time, its in at the shop atm having engine and box pulled for more work and full paintjob. Ohhh and 11.4 on crappy streets and 10.8 on crappy slicks, also my first time driving a car with some decent power at the drags, im more into drift... so you hit the nail on the head with your proported claims in the previous post imo.

not to stray off topic but is that josh's (NismoBoy) old r32 he had?

About the gearboxs lasting. I would be more inclined to think that circuit racing would put more stress, and temperature through a box then drag racing would, as its over an exteneded time. In a 20min race you do more high rpm gearchanges, more throttle application(on/off) and temps skyrocket cause your doing that for so long. Only thing you dont get is the initial force on everything from the launch as there isnt as much rubber layed down on the start/finish line like found at a dragstrip. 370rwkws killed our rb25gbox at the track after a 1.5 years of racing, 4th gear. Application will determine most things. I would stick to a conserative power if your keeping the rb20box.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
