N-DAWG Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Engine bay pics? or pics of the car? Outside looks pretty much like any skyline, except blue badges and for the R34 different factory front bar. I made a start on modifying the engine cover to fit, still needs more work trimming and smoothing, but still looks far better than ntohing at all! The DE NEO's are pretty ugly underneath it all. Had to make a custom bracket though, which is something temporary at the moment made up from leftover FMIC kit brackets and a combination of bolts and nuts which worked out quite well considering The heatshield is something I cut up from the ACL heatshield material, and has made a significant difference! Intake pipe and silicon bend is no longer scorching hot after a drive, but rather just warm. seems to be sustaining power for longer before heatsoak becomes an issue Eventually I'll do a few more things to make the engine bay look a bit nicer/neater.

na beast Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Very nice job there N-DAWG, hows the power compared to running naturally aspirated? and hows it holding up?

N-DAWG Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well I'm only running 7PSI, but compared to N/A it's good to have some decent power! Holding up well, been 5 months now since the conversion. Here's a few shots I took tonight in high sensitivity mode on my cybershot.. not the clearest photos but I like slow shutter without flash Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275332-pictures-and-videos-of-rb25det-skylines/#findComment-4669071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-DAWG Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks It's getting there, work in progress. Dan's conversion has to be one of the neatest I've seen actually, but he didn't have FMIC piping going over the radiator. FMIC piping over the radiator already looks messy IMO. Only around 160rwkw at the moment but that's on 7PSI and with an auto transmission. That particular Dyno has been known to report around 10kw under, and sometimes up to 20kw in some cases, but power figures are only numbers, what matters is the driveability and reliability of that power figure. It's easy to make more power really, all whats needed is more boost, but everything one step at a time. Trying to make more use out of power already there at the moment, which is why I've started with the heatshield, airbox, and next up a cold air feed. Once I'm satisfied with the keeping temps down side of things, then I'll look at either stage 2 shift kit and autotrans service complete with transmission fluid cooler (try to eliminate flaring, speed up the shifts and get the existing power to the wheels more efficiently and without overheating the gearbox); or an EBC. My tuner reckons that my R33 turbo is good for up to 12PSI, though I'm not sure if I'd run it that high as yet, not with a used R33 turbo. But 12PSI with an EBC should see it making some sweeet power, which admittedly I am craving for lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275332-pictures-and-videos-of-rb25det-skylines/#findComment-4669817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have been drifting my r32 rb25de+t for the past 2 years, prior to the conversion i rebuilt the engine and fitted a 1.8mm cometic headgasket, lowering the compression ratio just enough. After a decent run in period i bolted up the Garret 3071R and external gate and after going through 3 rb20 boxes it fitted a rb25 box and a once piece tailshaft. But she's good for up to 400hp running just 1 bar of boost... rb25de+t engine all the way man. Theres a thread here of the conversion in progress. Finished product here on tunersine article.

N-DAWG Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Very nice Tiff! Loving that R32! Done an awesome job with it, well done! Just so you know, we have a thread just for N/A+t power results, would love to see the results there! Good to see another N/A+t conversion that's come out good http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/N-...-N-t249186.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275332-pictures-and-videos-of-rb25det-skylines/#findComment-4669949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKiT_R31 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 210RWKW off 9.5PSI, RB25DE+T, FMIC, 3" exhuast stock 33 ecu & injectors, highflow T3. 2500rpm full boost. Because of the high compression, it makes more power per PSI boost, so 210rwkw with no R&R (used to R&R after 10PSI though) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275332-pictures-and-videos-of-rb25det-skylines/#findComment-4671001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYTSKY Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 With my old wheels on: Engine: Interior: New wheels on: Power: Next thing I'm hoping to add on is something along the lines of a TD06-20g or possibly something like a 3076r... will have to forge as well to turn up boost anymore, for piece of mind... Great to see more and more de+t's!

N-DAWG Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) I decided to get a handwash and polish done today at the Carwash Cafe place in Mt Gravatt. Just wanted to get it looking nice for the charity cruise tomorrow. So here I go whoring this thread again Same location, same method. (ps. I really need to get out and take photos before it's completely dark lol) Edited June 27, 2009 by N-DAWG Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275332-pictures-and-videos-of-rb25det-skylines/#findComment-4682711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
