hey mate

Im thinking of getting the hypergear turbo...wat u think of them? good for wat there worth?

Are you talking to me? if so, even though some of us have chats in this thread, pm me instead to keep this one tidier... but if your asking... they go well, but having a lil wastegate creep issues atm.... ie the boost is set to 15psi but leaks up to 17.x Psi, probably due to a larger amount of exhuast gases due to n/a high compression then standard gtst... looking at possibly going a bigger turbo in the future to stop this issue.

Unfortunetly I don't know what your car is... so can't say how it may go on it...

ext gate = easy to tell illegal... not that my setup isn't now... but I guess somewhat easier to hide with my custom heatsheild. Not to say I havent thought about it in the future.... ive been looking at int gate gt3076r's, but i've been in a skyline with an ext gate 300rwkw Trust Td06-20g and it is insane! and similar price... so both are an option :) cheers mate

oh sweet! Once again goes to show how strong the DE's are! I thought you were running stock pistons just with new bearings till I read this in the article: "That’s why the engine has been rebuilt from the ground up and strengthened with ACL main and big end race bearings."

So what compression is it running now with that gasket? I've had a couple of tuners advise against doing the gasket method as with still running the N/A pistons the only benefit is running more boost and losing the high compression response, but I guess this proves that wrong to an extent, and if you had the engine opened for the bearings then from a cost point of view it makes sense to do the gasket as well.

How is it as far as temps go? Particularly between street driving and track. I notice there's no mention of oil coolers and bigger radiator. Is it simply a case of just not really necessary even on a high powered N/A+t build?

lol.. found the hpi huh. :laugh:

I have stock pistons, thats correct.

The stock RB25DE runs a 11:1 ratio, so with the thicker head gasket i think my DE+T is around 9.5:1.

With the radiator, my stock rb20 was rusted out and temps were getting as high as 100, so earlier this year (3 years on) i put a bigger alloy one in. On the street the temp sits at about 75, and on the track between 85 and 90. No oil cooler, just an oil change after every event to be on the safe side.

Im on my P's now with a rb25de with around 150,000 on the clock.

in about 8 months time i will be doing a turbo conversion.

is 200rwkw an easily achievable target and is there any major issues to look out for when doing this. some very nice cars and figures on here by the way.

is this power at the flywheel,and the stock comp on the rb25de is 10:1 according to the manual

Model - R34 25GT 5spd

Engine - RB25DE+T

Modifications - Turbonetics Stage 2 T3/T04 turbo (laggy mofo) w/ 38mm turbosmart ultragate, fmic, GTR bov, 3" catback + 2.5" dump/front/cat, nismo adj fuel reg, r33 GTR fuel pump, Exedy sports tuff HD cushion button clutch

coming soon: 550cc hiflow injectors, 3" custom dump & front pipes, 3" hi flow cat, turbotech bleed valve @ 14psi & retune

Engine Management Used - eManage Ultimate + ignition chip for neo RB's

Fuel Used - 98 Octane (Mobil 8000 to be exact but i use V power, vortex & mobil)

Boost Used - 9 PSI but boost won't hold after 5500pm, it keeps rising.

Dyno Tune Results - 184.2 rwkw

Misc- boosting the c*nt up to 14-15 so hopefully net myself a good figure and some monsterous torque. atm it boost spikes & keeps climbing after 5500rpm, it hit 201 at 12-13psi @6400rpm. have since changed the wastegate spring to a softer and smaller spring (7psi which feels like a$$ now) so hopefully it fixes the boost issue, going to install a turbotech bleed valve and set it to 14psi and in for another dyno run in 2 weeks.

p.s it does hectic skids :down:

changed to a 7psi spring & fixed boost creeping problem.

used a manual bleeder to set it to 10psi, tihs bleed held 10psi dead FLAT with no spike and it pulled 180rwkw & 499nM of torque.

car is going back in next weekend for a EBC tune 10psi (low) 14psi (high)

profec B Spec 2.

hopefully get some decent torque & power out of this.

if its near maxing my injectors & afms then im gonna go for 550cc hiflow + emanage map sensor and piss off the stock afm.

ideally i want to run 14psi on high boost but ill let the tuner do it slowly from 11psi and see which is safest without any knocking etc.

also got a 3" dump/front & catco cat as well, also removed the silencers from my exhaust so it shouldn;t be as restrictive as before.

one problem tho, im running 18" work vskf now so it might weight it down ;)

post up results/dyno sheet next weekend.

RB TUrbo BITCH at what RPM does it hit full boost?

i was just looking through this thread and saw the discussion about lammy426's power figures. you have to remember he is in england, and it's winter over there, so nice chilly air temps which will give much better power. if he was to bring it to australia and run it on a 30 degree day it would ping it's arse off and he would be making much less power. also lammy, you say "at the hubs" does that mean you are using a hub dyno? if so, they are known to give different results to wheel dynos

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • 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.
