Im going to buy the RB25 turbo, found one. Is there any way from the outside with the intake pipes on that i can tell its a 25? Or do i have to measure the compressor wheel?

I can answer that for ya..

An RB25 turbo has the following on the compressor cover.

45V4

I bought one myself, got it put on, runing 13psi...

I think that it's a great upgrade.

good luck

As much as I hate to admit it his car does run 12.8's and he hasn't spent much on it (although this is in a small way due to the fact that he works a at performance shop).

He has a big fuel pump and an ecu remap, possibly a fuel reg with higher pressure to extend the facotry injector limits.

R32-GTS,

lets get back to being civil, you have some good information to contribute to those with the RB20's (not that we need anymore whale bashing):P

R32-GTS claims 300kws at the engine which sounds reasonable with std injectors.

Say factory 110rwkws - 160kw at the engine. So 200kws at the wheels - equates to a very rough 300kw at the engine.

RB30 NA's dont put out 120kw;s at wheels. I had one with a few mods was lucky to push out 98kw;'s at wheels.

The engine i was referring to was an R31 Skyline RB30 with the RB25 Twin cam head, inlet manifld and RB20 ECU. So i suppose that makes it an RB30DE as oposed to Aus model RB30E

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
