i was at autobarn today and i dont know if this guy was spinning crap to me but he told me that

the only different and the rb25de and rb25det is nothing since that didnt want to waiste money on changing internals he said the only thing i need to change on my rb25de engine is the decompression plate and the head gasket and then i can add a turbo and get an ecu and get it tuned? is he correct or is he spinning shit to try and look good?

yes its true just high comp and no piston squirters is the only difference

I know of one 33 NA 25 make 265rwkw on 12psi wt hks 2535

without a different h/g

so depending on your needs your current motor may be fine

what do u mean are u saying i can gain decent kw gain from other addons and just keep it a n/a engine?

i wouldnt mind leaving it n/a if i had some decent power

yeh no

turboing your current motor may be fine for your power goals

i have a turbo and everything i need right now except for the ecu and the decompression stuff.

can u name everything i would need to change it over internal wise... is it just called a decompression kit ?

and i have a turbo that runs 15psi on the lowest setting.

im pretty sure this is what its called. it has a nissan rb25 turbo front housing with a garret gt30 front comp wheel with a ar63 or 62 rear housing.. my mate had it on his drift car he said its a 500hp turbo does that sound correct?

hello could anyone here please tell me what it is i need as i heard i only need this decompression plate?

would it be better with a better head gasket aswell?

and could u please give me the name of what plate/hg i would need or even a site for it would be better

and whats the piston squirters 1400r was talking about

just go a larger head gasket

to obtain atleast the same comp ratio as a factory turbo motor or less

and get that turbo running less boost 12 psi is probably max you would want to run

ps theres a NA section on here somewhere with a how to turbo your na 33 would be worth reading that thread

as it would have all your answers

here it is

hi i read the turbo on n/a post but they didnt talk about having the same internals.

they said just leave the compression ratio which i dont want to do. if i just change the head gasket would the engine be able to withstand 15psi? or would i need to upgrade to forged pistons?

the std internals will cope with 15psi.... depends on your tuner as to how long it will last.

mine was orginally a na but I converted to turbo just changed the motor apparently alot is different cams, pistons most of which are made for forced induction which are also stronger also your gunna need a different fuel pump if ya gunna b running high boost, the na gearbox wont handle the torque neither the brakes which are alot smaller if you intent to stop and the diff is made for top end the turbo model is for better acceleration you's may think i dont know but ive been there!

    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!
