Guys

I am looking at upgrading in a cost effective manner, I have an RB25det in my A31 cefiro with stock inj, 7psi boost, stock internals,XO2 turbo extractor manifold, 38mm Tial waste gate, T25 turbo, AEM wideband, 36psi on fuel pressure on idle and a GReddy E-manage Ultimate management.(which has not been tune)

I am looking at upgrading the turbo on this vehicle but i do not know what to get?

I use the car for drifting and probably to work and nothing else... since you guys are very Knowledgeable in the RB world i know that i would get some great advice.

because where i live everyone has some advice: and it get me even more confused because these things are very new to me, because when my car needs something done i take it to the mechanic.

i was advised on the following:

Garrett T3/T4

GT28rs aka disco potato

HKS GT 2530

Hks GT 3240

GReddy Td06 25G

Holset HX20

Garrett GT35R

Airresearch T3/T4

now i have a GReddy td06 25g at home but the shaft is broken so i don't know if to keep it and repair it or dump it

let me know your views.

You probably need a Z32 AFM and injectors and some form of boost crontroller (there's a few options) to pull some decent power out of the engine (say above 200rwkw). Make sure your fuel pump is in good condition too.

You have listed a turbo like the HKS25/30 and Garrett GT35 you are talking about a very mild turbo to one that can make 380 rwkw, 500HP. What do you won’t to do with the car? Drift? Drag? Track? Or just street? Are you going to be fully building the motor and other parts? A good all round turbo for the RB25 is the Garrett GT3076r with .82 rear housing. But u need to explain what you what to do with the car and how much you wont to spend! As an Hks 25/30 set up will cost you a few thousand and a GT35 option could cost you a lot more

Does he not say in his 3rd paragraph he uses hes car for drifting and too drive to work!

I missed the bit where you said Drift and street, as many would agree you can’t go past the Garrett GT3076r for all round turbo they make great power 320rwkw plus and still have good response. For a stock motor you wouldn’t really wont to run much more than 17-18psi some have can and do but it might last for a month or year you just don’t know with a stock motor.

As i said i use the car for drifting and occasional to drive to work.

what i am trying to achieve is basically this,

raise the boost and tweek the emanage with the stock system ( internal + Inj) that would not cause damages to the engine.

i do not even know how much boost the rb25det can even handle with a stock system.

I was told that the T25 can only handle 12psi before shattering...

BTW: the car also has a MAP sensor which i do not know what this is for?

with what i have does anyone have an idea as to how much HP i can achieve?

i would like to know how much HP i can get with stock internals?

i would like to go for a 500HP at the wheels.

500hp at the rears, are you serious? For your street car ...

Have you been in a car with 'just' 300hp at the rears? Even something like that is a handful. Go with one of the smaller turbos suggested, If you are already using the car for drift purposes as it is, any one of those turbo's suggested is going to make your day a little more fun.

500hp it insane ... and the lag to go with

Sorry, not a hope in the world.

Stock injectors are limited to around 250rwkw (350rwhp).

There is no chance stock Inj you'll make much more than that, and certainly not 500hp.

500hp would require full rebuilds, and basically a change of most parts to achieve, big dollars/time/effort.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
